The Health Initiative Project Coordinator

ABOUT THE HEALTH INITIATIVE: The U.S. spends ~$14 billion every day on healthcare, even though ~80% of health outcomes are tied to drivers of health like access to healthy food, safe homes, and well-paying jobs. THI works to unlock existing healthcare dollars to invest in these basics that people need to be healthy. We work with state, federal, and private healthcare institutions that control billions of dollars and impact millions of lives to spur them to invest in health. THI’s work reflects a potential win-win-win: families secure the resources necessary to be healthy; taxpayers and the government save on healthcare costs; and private health plans improve their bottom line. THI’s efforts have unlocked $650M+ in healthcare dollars to pay for healthy food, rent, and other basics; secured $50M+ in annual wage increases for healthcare workers; and spurred policy changes ensuring that 35M+ Americans are asked annually by their healthcare providers whether they are struggling with food, housing, or other basics. THI’s team is dedicated to creating productive change in the healthcare system. We have led and worked in federal healthcare agencies, health policy organizations, clinics, healthcare delivery systems, and quality improvement organizations.
