Our Mission
Using innovation to fix health inequities.
Those fortunate enough to be born in the right zip code live longer and healthier lives than those in communities next door.
Systemically, people who represent diverse racial, ethnic and gender identities, especially when combined with lower socioeconomic status, experience substantially worse health outcomes in the United States.
These inequities in health - physical, mental and social determinants - result in individual, community and national struggles. When we provide great health care to the least fortunate, we are benefiting our entire societal fabric.
We have an opportunity to shift investment away from nice-to-have ideas to proven solutions that improve care for populations that have long been underserved.
Innovations aimed at improving care have been slow to come to areas that need it most, including: primary care, mental health, addiction, end-of-life care, kidney care, maternity and newborn health. The costs of ignoring these issues are carried by everyone.
