- To improve health equity, it is critical for health care organizations to develop strong relationships with other organizations in the community. Health care organizations can avoid reinventing the wheel by leveraging community partnerships to address social determinants of health that are beyond the direct reach of health care. The following case story is adapted from IHI’s Improving Health…January 2020Policy and Practice
- Engaging and supporting youth as allies to advance community health, equity, and safety is one approach that funders and practitioners often overlook.

- 1 out of every 20 children under age six experiences homelessness—here's where change begins. I recently asked several friends and coworkers if they knew just how many children and families were affected by homelessness in the U.S. They were shocked to discover that an incredible 1 out of every 20 children under age six experiences homelessness. In Georgia, where I live, the statistics aren’t…August 2018Housing Discrimination, Systemic Determinants
- The formation of hospital-community partnerships to improve health and well-being is becoming widespread across the United States, with many hospitals taking a lead role in initiating and fostering these partnerships. This collaborative approach is effective because many different community organizations are addressing similar issues and serving the same populations. Collaboration creates an…July 2017Policy and Practice
- There is extensive research indicating a link between educational attainment (e.g., years of schooling or number of degrees obtained) and health indicators (e.g., life expectancy or death from disease). The effect is even intergenerational, meaning that the education of parents is linked to their children’s health and well-being. Disparities in education mirror disparities in health. Over the…January 2017Education
- Homelessness can be surprisingly costly for taxpayers. Fortunately, socially-responsible, cost effective solutions exist.
