Annual Meeting on Health Philanthropy

Access downloadable attachments > Health funders aspire to bring about real improvements in health outcomes. While we’ve seen great strides in slowing the progression of some conditions and forestalling the onset of others, at the same time, work to improve health goes beyond the doors of the hospital and clinic.  Increasingly health grantmakers are seeking ways to address the social and environmental determinants of health – such as income, employment, education, housing conditions, racism, and the physical environment – that have such striking and profound implications for the health of individuals and populations.  They are also considering the links between the health of this nation, our neighbors to the north and south, and those around the globe.  Working in these areas, however, requires that funders cross borders, both literal and figurative, and build partnerships with those working in other fields. 

Bridging, Building, and Beyond: Breaking Down Barriers to Health Improvement will focus on the tools, skills, and stories of how to transcend silos and work at the nexus of health and other fields including environmental protection, the arts, employment, criminal justice, community development, and education. Our hope: to break down barriers to communication and cooperation, and get to the root causes of poor health.
