CHALLENGE
Health disparities in the US persist across income, ethnicity, and geography. Access to quality and affordable healthcare continues to be a challenge for low-to-middle-income neighborhoods. Underserved communities often lack broader public resources and government support, which strains public and government health resources even more.
OPPORTUNITY
Healthy communities are the product of more than just healthcare access. We work to ensure holistic community solutions that combine affordable housing, healthcare facilities in housing developments, and nearby access to healthy food and other resources.
