Our Goals

Health, safety, and wellbeing: We expand the notion of health beyond access to healthcare or the absence of illness and injury to understanding it as the physical, mental, and spiritual condition—inclusive of safety and wellbeing—that allows people to thrive and live fulfilling lives.

Health equity and racial justice: We focus on ensuring that communities rooted in place and/or identity have a fair and just opportunity to achieve health by addressing root causes—like structural racism, poverty, and disinvestment—and centering community-defined priorities and solutions.

Community transformation: We expand approaches to address community conditions and the systems and structures that influence them to achieve health, safety, and wellbeing.

Upstream prevention: We direct attention and resources to emphasize upfront strategies that promote health, safety, and wellbeing.
