Building a Movement to Advance Equitable Health and Well-Being for All

Through partnerships with dedicated stewards across the country, we’re moving toward an ambitious goal: A future where everyone thrives—no exceptions.

Creating equitable systems for health and well-being requires the participation of a diverse group of individuals and organizations. We work with thousands of these changemakers (called stewards) in communities across the country.

The vital conditions for health and well-being are the essential elements that must be present in a community for all of its members to thrive. We work with stewards to strengthen and expand the vital conditions throughout their communities.
Learn More
Our health and well-being rely on systems that are not built for everyone to thrive. We work with stewards to transform these systems so that everyone can experience the vital conditions that support equitable health and well-being.

Thriving communities require stewards who are dedicated to working toward a common vision. We offer resources, tools, frameworks, and support that stewards need to create a better future where everyone thrives.
