What does it take to thrive together? How can we connect across differences and create opportunities to address past harms while improving well-being for all?
These powerful questions must guide our work as leaders and change agents in health care, because our efforts have the potential to shape the lives and experiences of patients, residents, and employees in equitable, healthy, and positive ways.
Wouldn’t it be helpful to have a guide to turn to for tested, pragmatic, yet innovative ways to transform our practices?
The guide is divided into three actionable sections that build from alignment and understanding to practical, tangible practices for leaders and organizations to implement. It explores the principles and culture of stewardship that ReThink Health and our partners are dedicated to promoting in order to achieve the north star goal of equitable health and well-being for all:
addressing vital conditions for health and well-being, like humane housing, a healthy environment, food security, and employment opportunities;
creating incentives that go beyond a “sick care” system to a “health” or “well” care system; and
sharing power with and centering the expertise of community members and leaders from other sectors.
The insights shared in the guide are rooted in evidence and blend innovation with pragmatism. We are thrilled to share it with health and civic leaders who can use it as a tool to produce transformative thinking and action in their organizations and communities, with the ultimate goal of improving population health.
