We are change-makers. everyone should have the opportunity to thrive. We live and work by these principles:

  • Our organization is built on the principles of achieving not only equity, but justice for all individuals and communities who’ve experienced generational harm. From Black, Indigenous and other People of Color to low-income and rural communities, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to not only survive, but thrive.

  • Health is not only achieved through clinical metrics. We are building an organization that seeks to deliver greater wealth and power to local communities through our health-centered programming.

  • We’re a small nimble team with an activated network of partners. While we’re getting started with real communities across the country, there’s much more around the corner.
