Our four-stage model for driving sustainable ecosystem improvements

  • ➊ Assess

    Assessment of Community Assets & Needs

    We begin our work by assessing community assets and needs to ensure our work is responsive to community-identified health equity challenges and builds on existing community resources.

  • ➋ Convene

    Across Sectors & Silos

    We convene cross-sector stakeholders to ensure that the local community health ecosystem is working synergistically, collaboratively, and efficiently to maximize our collective impact across sectors.

  • ➌ Cultivate

    Community-Centered Solutions

    Cultivating community ownership ensures that redesigned community health infrastructure is not only responsive to community need, but also led and sustained by community stewardship.

  • ➍ Sustain

    Integrate & Sustain for Long-Term Impact

    Health equity advancements require systems to be fully integrated into health equity strategies stewarded by the community. Integration often begins with short-term funding support but must move to ongoing institutional investments for true long-term impact and sustainability.
