关于我们
We Make It Easy to be Equitable.? CommonHealth ACTION develops people and organizations to produce health through equitable policies, programs, and practices. Our vision is an America in which all people have equitable opportunities to achieve their best possible health. We believe that health is a production of society. In addition to genetics, our health outcomes are determined by the contexts within which we live our lives and make personal behavioral choices. To create equitable opportunities for health, we must address the policies, systems, and institutions that create the contexts within which people live their lives and make their decisions. Our work crosses many sectors, but to see how yours may link to ours, head over to our website and feel free to contact us!
