Focus Areas

We focus on how the structural drivers of health inequity—like racism and income inequality—impact communities, and seek to change the community conditions tied to those inequities.

Quality strategies that build thriving communities can help prevent and reduce the severity of some mental health conditions, as well as support treatment outcomes and foster wellbeing for all.

We work to change the underlying conditions that contribute to violence—in homes, schools, and neighborhoods—and to prevent violence from occurring in the first place.

We collaborate with partners up and down the state, weaving together our core organizational focus areas to advance a shared vision of a healthier, safer, and more equitable California.

In partnership with healthcare and public health leaders across the country, we advance bold new practices to support health system transformation, achievement of the Triple Aim, and a health system that emphasizes health and equity.

We take a systems approach to improving access to healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity—working across a spectrum of issues, from education, land use and transportation, to economic development and industry regulation.

Prevention Institute serves as the strategic advisor for The Convergence Partnership, a collaborative of foundations and healthcare institutions working to foster healthier and more equitable environments.

Injuries are not accidents—they are predictable and preventable. Comprehensive, integrated, quality strategies can prevent unintentional injuries.
