Grantmakers In Health (GIH) has signed an organizational commitment to the Thrive through Civic Health: We Will Vote (WWV) initiative. Led by the Civic Health Alliance, VotER, and Healthy Democracy Healthy People, the initiative is a coordinated strategic action designed to improve population health by strengthening civic and voter participation across the health sector. WWV serves as an invitation to partner with public health, health care, philanthropy, non-profit, and community organizations to strengthen voter participation commitments. The focus of the WWV Initiative is to implement a health sector strategy to build awareness, commitment, and momentum and increase voter participation of health sector workers. The WWV initiative serves as a foundation for deepening our commitment to the importance of an inclusive democracy for community health and well-being.
