Our Why
According to the Commonwealth Fund “Measuring What Matters: Social Drivers of Health” (2021), social drivers of health—including housing, transportation and food—account for up to 80% of health outcomes and have a disproportionate impact on communities of color. How we address these and improve equity remains a challenge. One of the primary problems organizations face is not around understanding what innovation is needed, but rather understanding how to implement the necessary change. Often, implementation leaves out the voices of frontline staff and end-users, who are often from traditionally underrepresented or marginalized groups.
Why 43?
Four principles of equity leadership, applied across three sectors,
creating countless opportunities to make a difference.
Our approach – equity-centered community healthcare and housing
We believe health care should be built by and for the populations that are historically on the margins and grounded in justice and equity. Our approach is to co-design solutions with the people who will utilize them and then train, support, and empower a health care workforce that prioritizes social drivers of health.
We offer change management and strategic analysis, practice transformation and care model design, readiness assessments, performance improvement, contracting support, learning collaboratives, and training to help clients reach and exceed their goals and metrics to close inequities.
Our Solutions
The solutions we create are grounded in the real-world and lived experiences of our consultants who apply their expertise in value-based care, clinical care delivery, population health, social drivers of health, housing, equity, quality, performance improvement, communications, and healthcare discrimination.
