Our Statement of Purpose
Our commitment to transforming healthcare and corporate social responsibility is rooted in a Statement of Purpose that is embraced by everyone at Signify Health – from our Board of Directors to colleagues across every function and geography. We are focused on helping to lead the nationwide transition toward moving health homeward, and, to us, that includes caring for our communities, championing healthcare equality and ensuring that our workplace supports a sustainable environment.

Mental health and social isolation
The COVID-19 pandemic elevated our country’s awareness of the need for mental health and social isolation support and intervention. Our team carefully screens the people we serve for signs of loneliness, isolation or mental illness, and the need for increased social connection, but much more is needed. We are partnering with local organizations to identify opportunities to help connect at-risk individuals with local services that can provide them with help and resources. Additionally, we are exploring partnership opportunities with local organizations to support programs that will keep mental health and social isolation top-of-mind.
Homelessness and food insecurity
No one should be homeless. And, yet so many communities face a looming eviction crisis. Evictions are not only the result of – but also a cause of – deeper poverty leading to increasing homelessness, particularly among families with children. Recent increases in the dual crises of homelessness and food insecurity are what drives our commitment to connect with local homeless shelters, food banks and community care centers so we can help them identify individuals in need of help.
Employee volunteerism and giving
In 2021, Signify Health expanded Signify Cares, our social volunteer program, to encourage team members to dedicate time in support of organizations working to eliminate the many social and economic challenges that prevent people from living healthy lives. Partnerships with local organizations, like DoSomething.org, Habitat for Humanity and Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®), support our hometown communities and help us deliver on our promise of more healthy, happy days at home.
Diversity and inclusion
Our DEI work is guided by a multiyear approach to diversity in our talent and a culture of inclusion. Our first steps included an Employee Resource Groups (ERG) program and established ERGs for women, black and LatinX team members. We continue expanding this program with a focus on inclusion and unconscious-bias training. To support this effort, we have partnered with Catalyst, the global nonprofit that drives change with pioneering research and practical tools to advance women in leadership, workplace inclusion and equipping companies to remedy inequities across intersections of identity. Through this partnership, our employees have access to Catalyst thought leadership, educational and training materials. In addition, our partnership with North Texas Leaders & Executives Advocating Diversity (LEAD) is helping us increase diversity within our leadership teams.
