The Road Ahead
Understanding the Need
It is imperative that the AHA continues to build upon and use our resources to accelerate community solutions. Individuals in low socio-economic status communities cannot improve their health without basic access to healthy food and safe water, exceptional education and job skills training, safe streets, a robust economy, and access to health care.
Mission and Vision
We will amplify community-centered solutions that have measurable impact on eliminating health disparities through improvement of social determinants of health.
We will accelerate the development and adoption of innovative community solutions that impact social determinants of health within priority populations.
