Health Leads

Health Leads operates from a unique position of being directly connected to both people with lived experiences and the key decision-makers across levels and industries. Our initiatives and programs are focused both on addressing the urgent needs facing too many communities (e.g. Food insecurity in boston or access to vaccines nationwide), and on the root causes of these needs to keep working towards racial Health equity (e.g. Co-designing more equitable primary care) -- this is how we will get to systemic change. Built on 25 years of grassroots, on-the-ground experience, Health Leads facilitates collaboration and builds trust across stakeholders - from the local community members to the federal government - around the long, hard work required to create real, lasting systemic change. In partnership with communities nationwide, we create innovative, equity-anchored solutions and tools at the intersection of healthcare, social services, public Health, and essential needs. With one foot in hyper-local pilots and one foot in our national learning platforms, we spread new approaches to the center of Health practice and policy nationwide - bringing us closer to our vision of Health and well-being for every person in every community.
