FORGING AHEAD TOGETHER
Our new strategic plan calls upon us to strengthen old partnerships and develop new ones. We recognize
that we all must come together if we are to really move the needle on our community health statistics
and improve the overall health of our community. To accomplish these lofty goals, we are forging new
partnerships with doctors, nonprofits, other hospitals, and those who are educating tomorrow’s workforce
— just to name a few. We will leave no stone unturned in our quest to think differently and focus on what’s
really important. And, we won’t forget our most significant partnerships — the one we share with our 5,770
employees. The good work we do would not be possible without them.
Here are some of our most recent developments with our nonprofit partnerships:

We’ve come together with the Truckee Meadows Healthy Community (TMHC) Initiative to create a culture of
health in the region. With this work as a foundation, the Food Bank of Northern Nevada — a TMHC partner
— was chosen to receive one of five national planning grants through Feeding America and the Laura and
John Arnold Foundation. Funds will support a three-year collective impact planning process with TMHC to
continue building a cross-sector, collaborative initiative around community health (food security, housing,
jobs, etc.). The new funding will bring more than $1 million into the community over the next three years.

Renown also recently agreed to assume the lead agency status for Safe Kids Washoe County. This
collaboration of more than a dozen local organizations works to protect kids from unintentional injuries —
the No. 1 cause of death for children in the United States.
OTHER RECENT RENOWN INVESTMENTS WITH KEY COMMUNITY PARTNERS INCLUDE:
$250,000
contribution to the capital campaign for Northern Nevada HOPES
