Good Neighbor: Our commitment to community health

At Geisinger, we’re committed to improving the health and well-being of those in our communities. That’s why we created Good Neighbor — a framework that focuses on prevention, community partnerships and the everyday factors that shape health.

By partnering with local organizations, investing in resources, and providing support where it’s needed most, we’re helping to improve the physical, social and mental well-being of those we serve.

Our goals through Good Neighbor

  • Creating partnerships with community-based organizations to expand impact
  • Providing grassroots support and building trust across communities
  • Promoting community health and advocacy through outreach, volunteerism and engagement
  • Educating patients on preventive services and healthy living
  • Increasing access to care in clinical and community settings
  • Reducing health disparities by identifying and addressing gaps in services

Pillars of focus

Good Neighbor focuses on 6 areas to help people thrive:

  • Food First – Fresh food prescriptions, pantries and nutrition education
  • Ready for Work – Workforce development and student training
  • Care in the Communities – Mobile clinics, EMS outreach and pop-up care events
  • Stay Healthy, Stay You – Screenings, chronic condition education and prevention
  • Your Mind Matters – Behavioral health support, awareness and stigma reduction
  • Social Resource Hub – Connecting people with community resources and support

Stronger communities. Healthier lives.

Good Neighbor strengthens communities and creates measurable value for patients, families, employers and partners. By investing in prevention and reducing barriers to care, we can keep people healthier — and reduce the need for medical care down the road.
