ABOUT THE NATIONAL HEALTH FOUNDATION

National Health Foundation (NHF) is guided by a mission to improve the health of individuals and underserved communities by acting on the social determinants of health and bridging the gaps in the healthcare system. All people, regardless of who they are or where they live, can achieve their highest level of health. NHF works within communities to identify and advance solutions that remove barriers and promote health for all who live there.

Research has demonstrated that one of the clearest determinants of health –and health disparities– is where people live. A person’s physical environment, employment opportunities, community safety, and access healthcare providers, (and more) all impact health and are local in nature. The largest health disparities emerge in neighborhoods experiencing poverty and in communities of color. These social determinants can help or hinder a person’s ability to make healthy decisions. People are not homeless; they experience homelessness. People suffering from diabetes may understand what they should be eating, but it does not matter if they cannot purchase fresh produce in their own neighborhood. Physical fitness might be a top priority for everyone, but crime and unlit parks might prevent that from happening. Health starts where people live, learn, work and play.

NHF is committed to addressing the root causes of health disparities by working hand in hand with communities. We empower teens and adults to advocate for their health and identify needed changes in their neighborhoods. Then we help develop and support the community’s vision of health by cultivating partnerships to deliver programs and services that are empathetic and inclusive. We observe, measure, and learn, and repeat as needed.

National Health Foundation is committed to fostering a fair, diverse, inclusive, and equal work environment.

National Health Foundation believes diversity, equity and inclusion is essential to accomplishing our mission and maximizing our impact. Understanding historical and current manifestations of racism and oppression will enable us to act most effectively on the social determinants of health. As one of our core values, DEI will shape our governance, strategies, programs, operational activities, and advocacy efforts. We recognize the work of DEI is a journey and our commitment is unwavering.
