Last years’ second annual One Mile Championship was an uplifting time for all who were in attendance. This walk/run event begins at Regional One Hospital and progresses through the heart of the downtown UT medical district. This growing outdoor event welcomed 318 runners and included many Regional One Health staff, families, visitors, and volunteers alike. Its key sponsors and health-minded fanfare celebrated and supported Regional One Health’s One Health Complex Care program. What a great opportunity for individuals, families, and corporate sponsors to rally together for health and a healthy community. Regional One Health’s ONE Health Complex Care program helps patients meet not only their medical needs but also their social needs. ONE Health helps qualifying patients access medical care and address social determinants of health like housing, transportation, food and more. By providing consistent care and holistic support, it helps patients avoid emergency department visits and hospitalization. The program, established in 2018, has used donor support and community partnerships to improve the lives of over 900 vulnerable patients and reduced hospital admissions, emergency visits, and length of stay.
