Our Vision
Achieving Health Equity—Faster and Together
We take bold leaps to transform health in our lifetime and pave the way, together, to a future where health is for everyone.
Economic Inclusion for Family Wellbeing
We seek to build an economy that invests in families and values people for more than what they contribute to economic production; where all forms of care are accessible and affordable for families, and where caregivers are valued for the critical role they play in our society.
Equitable and Accountable Public Health and Healthcare Systems
We advocate for a healthcare system that provides respectful, high-quality care for everyone and a Public Health System that works together with communities to dismantle structural racism as a root cause of health disparities in America.
Healthy and Equitable Community Conditions
We envision flourishing communities where everyone has access to clean, safe drinking water and safe, stable housing; where jobs pay a living wage; where we have torn down the walls of segregation and all residents receive the respect and dignity they deserve.
Our Framework to Achieve Equity
This framework, designed in collaboration with our partners, guides how we work to support and amplify community-informed solutions.
The Systems We're Transforming
To make health equity a reality, we’ll need to change systems so that they work better for all of us. Right now, these systems are working exactly as they were designed—to privilege some and disadvantage others. The good news is that since people created these systems—we can change them.
