About IEHP Foundation

IEHP Foundation was established by Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) in July 2021 as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in July 2021. The Foundation strives to ensure all individuals in the Inland Empire have access to Vibrant Health — extending beyond traditional healthcare services and addressing the social determinants of health for the region’s most vulnerable populations.

We will not rest until the promise of Vibrant Health exists for all of us.

What is Vibrant Health?

Root Causes

Exposure to the root causes of ill health is significantly reduced.

Core Needs

Core needs are identified and increasingly met.

Health Equity

Health is equitably experienced across our diverse communities.

What We Do

IEHP Foundation partners with and supports CBOs and community leaders in San Bernardino and Riverside counties to advance Vibrant Health through public policy and advocacy, building capacity, and investing in and leveraging funding for local community-based organizations.

The Foundation recognizes the vital role of nonprofits and CBOs in their local communities. That’s why the Foundation refers to these community partners as Champions for Vibrant Health — local organizations dedicated to addressing health disparities and serving as trusted messengers.

Riverside City Background

Inland Empire at a Glance

The Inland Empire is a vibrant and rapidly growing region, home to over 4.6 million residents – spanning across San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

However, despite its many strengths, the region faces challenges in promoting equitable health outcomes for all of its residents. While there is room for improvement, the region is working to address these issues and create a healthier, more inclusive community. By focusing on building strong systems, supporting historically marginalized individuals and families, and empowering communities from within, the Inland Empire can become a beacon of Vibrant Health.
