Investing In The
Power Of The Community

Through our Community Health Justice Fund, we are investing in organizations that go beyond healthcare to address the root causes of health disparities. Through a racial justice lens, we are amplifying the impact of 10 frontline organizations working to improve the conditions that shape the health and well-being of their communities.

Our $4 million 2023 membership with the American Cancer Society (ACS) expanded patient navigation programs and supported policies to enhance access to innovative, high-quality care and services, promoting health equity for underrepresented groups. Our partnership with ACS's Get Screened initiative has played a pivotal role in providing essential cancer screenings to approximately 500,000 individuals and aiding nearly 11,000 individuals in receiving timely diagnosis.

Genentech collaborated with the American Diabetes Association to introduce Health Equity Now, an initiative to increase accessibility to screening and treatment for eye diseases that affect individuals with diabetes. The pilot program was initially implemented in Birmingham, Alabama.

We are going to solve the problem of health equity by being in true community with each other. That means understanding our histories, rewriting narratives that don’t serve us, and leaning into the idea that if we can envision it, we can build it.
