Our Approach

We fulfill our mission through a unique combination of work that targets individuals and families, as well as the environment in which we live, work, and learn. Our goals are to reduce risk for injury and prevent disease, to help those living with chronic conditions successfully manage their health and to promote wellness.

Direct Service

Trained health educators, community health workers, case managers, and patient navigators work directly with individuals and families in their own communities.

Capacity Building

In-person and virtual training, technical assistance, curriculum development, academic-community partnerships, and other services can help to strengthen organizations.

Policy and Systems Change

Support with development and implementation of policies and practices can enable healthy behaviors.
