How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Age-Friendly Community Developmentmethodology: age_friendly_community_developmentBy applying principles of age-friendliness, livability, and equity in community design, we improve health and well-being for older adults because environments that support mobility, social connection, and access to services enable healthier aging and reduce health disparities.
- Systems-Thinking and Community Collaboration Modelmethodology: systems-thinking_and_community_collaborationBy training and mentoring public health fellows in systems thinking and collaborative practice, we build sustainable, community-led public health capacity that advances health equity because locally-rooted, systems-literate practitioners are better equipped to identify and address root causes of health disparities.
