What We Fund
We support people and programs that build health equity by investing in these key issues:
- *A healthcare workforce that better reflects the race, ethnicity, and cultural mix of the country
- *Partnerships and technologies that more quickly connect people to resources that address social determinants of health
- *New pathways to economic stability for families and communities in need, especially those that disrupt systems that perpetuate generational poverty
We are proud to collaborate with and support these organizations:
- *Marian Middle School (St. Louis, MO)
- *Meharry Medical College (Nashville, TN)
- *Wayne State University School of Medicine (Detroit, MI)
