Prevention and Health Systems

By changing the environments, policies, and institutions that most touch our lives — from our neighborhoods and workplaces to our childcare centers and schools — community prevention is a necessary component in the reduction and long-term elimination of inequities. Transforming the health system requires redefining the system of health to prioritize improvements to underlying community determinants of equity, safety, and health that keep people from getting sick or injured; as well as to emphasize the inclusion of equity as a core outcome. The Convergence Partnership is committed to supporting investments and efforts that emphasize prevention and health system improvements that advance the community’s health and safety, especially for low-income communities and communities of color.
