We support communities in improving health outcomes by championing evidence-based policies, multi-sector partnerships, and other systems-level change. This includes advancing policies that improve population health and create thriving communities. It also includes building partnerships – often among unlikely allies – to help leaders across sectors achieve their shared goal of strengthening communities and improving lives.
Local approaches and practical solutions are vital to achieving lasting change. Several of our programs aim to bolster community health by strengthening policies and systems in states and localities.
Businesses also have a vested interest in the future of their communities. Achieving economic and social prosperity relies on having healthy and safe places to live, work, and play, and we believe that there’s an inextricable link between America’s public health and economic well-being.
