ProMedica Focuses on Community Development to Strengthen Health in Toledo, Ohio

HUD User publishes a series of case studies based on federal, state, and local strategies that increase affordable housing opportunities and support sustainable community development. The projects and community development efforts featured in these reports have demonstrated innovation through a multitude of partnerships and initiatives.

Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, ProMedica is a regional health system that serves 28 counties in southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio with 13 hospitals and 4 ambulatory surgery centers. Within this broad service area, ProMedica has worked for more than a decade to address the social, economic, and environmental factors that contribute to poor health for individuals and communities. The health system's focus on the social determinants of health has led to a comprehensive strategy to enhance the physical and social effects of distressed housing and neighborhoods. In Toledo, ProMedica is helping to stabilize the aging affordable housing stock, revitalize the predominantly low-income neighborhood of UpTown, and strengthen the city's economic health through physical improvements to the city's downtown.
