The Leadership & Professional Development department has developed a three part training series called Pathways to Excellence - Series 1 - Building an inclusive Mindset. Each series contains eight learning sections, sequentially linked and aligned to key themes that synthesize learning to foster ready-to-use skills. Series 2 - Enhancing Job Effectiveness - It has two paths, Leading SELF and Leading Others. Leading Self is designed for individual contributors who are seeking opportunities to develop critical skills that are proven to help improve interpersonal relationships and job performance through key practical learnings. Leading Others is designed for those who lead others in teams or projects and want to improve leadership effectiveness by guiding, influencing and developing others to achieve greater outcomes.

City of Hope is pleased to submit a report of our community benefit activities for Fiscal Year 2021 (from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021). The State of California’s Community Benefit law (SB697) requires nonprofit hospitals to address the needs of their communities through programs designed to help prevent diseases and improve the health status of its citizens. This is the first report on City of Hope’s progress in addressing the prioritized health needs in the 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment and subsequent 2021-2023 Implementation Strategy. Throughout this document, we will demonstrate an understanding of the diverse needs of the multicultural communities we serve and a commitment to the creation of the infrastructure necessary to carry out an extensive array of community projects. Our traditional community education efforts in cancer prevention and cancer risk reduction are also reflected. The total value of our community benefit investments during Fiscal Year 2021 was $306,532,657. This represents a $55,408,411 increase over Fiscal Year 2020. Much like last year, COVID-19 has given us a new perspective on our own ability to pivot and reimagine our programs and services within the context of addressing needs and being safe. Moving forward we will continue to explore new areas that provide us the opportunity to impact the underserved communities in our quest to bridge the health disparities gap. In doing so, we invite you to be active partners in helping us meet the needs of our communities.
