Strengthening Our Public and Community Health
HEALTH SYSTEMS
RWJF supports programs that are helping to expand our thinking about community partnerships that work together to pursue public and community health.
We believe improving public and community health requires linking systems like hospitals, schools and health departments with community organizations, urban planners and developers, and business. Improving public and community health requires a commitment to health equity to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible.
