Communities Driving Health Innovation

Why It Matters When given the opportunity, community leaders have continually demonstrated the expertise and skills required to generate tailored, equity-based solutions that address their community’s aspirations and highest-priority needs.


What We Do At Health Commons, we believe that community leadership is key to unlocking solutions to many of today’s most pressing health system issues. Our work is focused on partnering with local networks that are developing place-based approaches. These partnerships offer the chance to develop a deeper understanding of what is happening, what works and what might be shared for scale. Wherever possible, we seek policy opportunities to empower, enable and centre the role of communities in creating equity-driven models of care. Learn more about these solutions by reading about our projects or get in touch.
