Each Focus Area Centers on Health Equity
Through funding, convening, advocacy, and evidence-building, we work side-by-side with communities, practitioners, and institutions to achieve health equity faster and pave the way, together, to a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right. To keep us and our partners and collaborators heading in the right direction, we've organized our work into four focus areas, each grounded in health equity.
Explore below to understand how each core area sets a path to help us achieve health equity faster and together.
We help hospitals, health departments, insurers, community groups, and others work together to better understand and improve health equity and achieve better health for all.
