Our strategy
Our primary focus is a stronger public health system that builds evidence for what works, collaborates with a range of partners—policy-makers, business, education, health care, and community organizations—and then puts ideas into action. By making changes in the environments where we live, learn, work and play, we can make staying healthy easier for everyone.
The Foundation’s targeted strategy in public health focuses on three interconnected areas:
- Uncovering what works for improving health. The right data can help communities improve health in tangible, measurable ways, and make the most of limited resources.
- Advancing smarter laws and policies. Smarter laws and policies are one of the most effective ways to create significant, enduring improvements to Americans’ health.
- Strengthening the public health departments that make healthy communities possible. Because a stronger public health system is the network that can bring solutions to communities and directly improve people’s health.
Through targeted investments, we can make a significant and enduring impact on the health of communities throughout America.
