Strategies

National Health Foundation employs three key strategies that collectively help us achieve upstream action in our communities.

X

Essential services to under-resourced communities that address immediate social needs, like providing job training, shelter, education, and access to food.

X

The relationship-building process that develops trust and understanding between NHF, community residents, stakeholders and civic institutions in order to elevate local voices in solving issues impacting the community’s well-being.

X

The process of systematic inquiry that includes the collection of data; documentation of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information to inform or improve work.

X

Strategies that focus on improving social and economic structures in order to decrease barriers and improve support that allows people to achieve their full health potential.
