Program areas at United Health Foundation
America's Health rankings:the Foundation conducts the america's Health rankings, which is a state-by-state analysis of the nation's Health. America's Health rankings has served as a call to action for healthier people and their communities for over 30 years, and has grown to include reports that examine the Health of seniors aged 65+, women and children, and those who have served in the u.s. armed forces.
Transforming Health with communities:the Foundation is committed to sourcing, developing and supporting innovative and evidence-based ideas that will help the Health system work better. To do this, we identify meaningful partners and initiatives that we believe have the potential to lead to improved access to care, better Health outcomes, and healthier communities, and are scalable.
Future Health workforce (including legacy diverse scholars initiative):workforce investments focus on promoting equity and diversity in the Health workforce, improving existing capacity, investing in future workforce needs, improving access to primary care; and enhancing the provider experience. As part of this initiative, we support hundreds of United Health Foundation diverse scholars who are working to attain their higher education goals and eventually will start careers in the Health industry. These students who often come from lower-income multicultural backgrounds will increase the number of qualified, yet underrepresented, Health care professionals entering the workforce.
