A Healthier Democracy is a platform for collaboration and community organizing at the intersection of health and civic engagement that leverages the untapped power of healthcare workers and healthcare settings as the people and places where social change can emerge. We provide a home for healthcare workers, community organizers, and healthcare organizations under the shared vision that together we can address our nation’s pressing social issues through collaboration. We are unleashing the healthcare sector as a source for social good. We are creating A Healthier Democracy. 

Portfolio Organizations at Launch

A Healthier Democracy is home to three high-impact national initiatives at launch.

Our centralized model enables us to quickly launch new initiatives drawing on deep expertise in healthcare organizing, creative communications, and marketing.
