Health Leads is an innovation hub that seeks to unearth and address the deep societal roots of racial inequity that impact health. Founded in 1996, Health Leads works with communities to create innovative, equity-anchored solutions and processes at the intersection of healthcare, social services, public health and essential needs. To bridge the gap between national and hyper-local health equity efforts, Health Leads is growing a robust network of partners at every level, including national funders, local charities, community-based organizations, public health institutions and more.
