The Rippel Foundation

Rippel's key initiative, rethink health, works with stewards on the ground in organizations and communities locally, statewide, regionally, and nationally to help them think about and implement new ways to improve population health and well-being to have an impact that goes beyond business as usual. Rethink health provides real-world tools, frameworks, and expertise that help individuals, organizations, and communities consider how to make transformative, lasting change and shift investments in meaningful ways that support thriving populations. Services offered include free resources, multi-year partnership arrangements, and an alumni network for those already familiar with rethink health's approaches who want to deepen their knowledge and have opportunities to learn with peers. All of rethink health's guidance and support is tailored to support local needs and conditions.

The contract income in part xvi-a is derived from a variety of engagements where Rippel provides services to other foundations and foundation-funded initiatives, as well as regional healthcare collaboratives. These services include research, analysis, advising, coaching, mentoring, meeting facilitation, educational workshops, scenario modeling, and training. Each engagement is designed to support these groups in pursuing systemwide, transformative changes in healthcare. Tools and methods developed by the Foundation are used in the delivery of this support; feedback and new insights gleaned from each engagement is in turn used to improve our tools and methods.
