Steele Institute for Healthcare Innovation
Innovation is one of our core values. Geisinger’s Steele Institute for Health Innovation was established to elevate and share Geisinger’s efforts to transform healthcare delivery by improving patient experience, quality, efficiency and outcomes. Some of the shining stars among our innovative programs are:
Fresh Food Farmacy® – This nationally spotlighted program with locations in Shamokin and Scranton helps food-insecure patients control their Type 2 diabetes by providing education, recipes and healthy food for 10 meals a week, free of charge, for themselves and their families.
Springboard Health – This first-of-its-kind population health program is designed to improve the well-being of entire communities. It works to prevent hunger and chronic disease, educates people on making better lifestyle choices and uses genomic medicine to address hereditary conditions.
Free2BMom – When a pregnant woman is opioid-dependent, we initiate medication-assisted treatment and coordinate support from community organizations to make sure she gets the care she needs during her pregnancy and for the first two years following birth.
