Guiding Principles
Equity
We seek to eliminate health disparities and amplify the voices of those that are not always heard to ensure that all people have the chance to enjoy healthy lives.
Advocacy
We advocate for the common good and work to effect change in the institutions, policies, and practices that influence health decisions and outcomes in our communities.
Collaboration
We cultivate genuine partnerships among networks of organizations, service providers, supporters, and the people in our communities to leverage diverse perspectives, resources, and opportunities.
Stewardship
We are strategic and transparent with the use of our resources, holding ourselves and our partners accountable for achieving the greatest possible health impacts.
Boldness
We take risks in the pursuit of new ideas and view these efforts as opportunities for learning and improvement.
Innovation
We continually seek, through research, data and community engagement, unbiased and novel solutions that are more effective, efficient, just and sustainable than current practices, and that will translate into a healthier community for everyone.
