Who We Are

Collaboration comes from trust, authentic relationships, transparency, responsiveness, professionalism, and two-way engagement.  We strive to do “with” and “as” not “to”

We listen and learn. We understand local needs by asking people about their experiences and perspectives. We recognize that we’re stewards of the foundation’s resources and commit to being transparent in how we use them.

Rigor comes from analysis and learning, iteration and discovery, embracing ambiguity, sustaining humility, seeking truth, and questions assumptions. We seek continuous improvement and uphold high standards of professionalism in all that we do.

We understand and address disparities in health and health access in terms of race, geography, and socioeconomic status.  We account for barriers to equity and use an asset-building approach to address them.  We focus our resources on those who need them most.
