Our Work

Addressing need throughout our communities        

Last year our efforts:
  • cared for 124,000 children in government-funded health care programs
  • taught more than 8,200 kids to swim in Los Angeles community pools
  • built 17 miles of bike trails in Colorado
  • provided full health care coverage to 300 nursing students
  • covered the cost of care for 273,000 Medical, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program members
  • published more than 685 medical research papers
  • used live drama, comedy, and music to teach 539,000 students to make smart choices about food, exercise, and sexuality

And that's just for starters. Learn more about our work using the menu below.


Safety Net Partnerships
Expanding treatment on the front lines of medicine
We partner with public hospitals, community clinics, and local health departments to improve and expand medical care to uninsured and underinsured people.

Care and Coverage
Medical care and coverage for all
We create and support programs that provide care, free or subsidized coverage, and enrollment in Medicaid, S-CHIP, and other public programs.

Community Health Initiatives
Community-wide wellness
We support innovative efforts to bring nutritious foods and safe, physical activity to local schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

Develop and Disseminate Knowledge
Research, medical training, public policy, community outreach

We conduct and fund research, share it, and help governments turn it into informed public policy.

Health Disparities
Equal health care access and treatment
The latest news, information, and research on eliminating health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities, poor people, and other disadvantaged groups.

Environmental Stewardship
Healing the planet with environmental responsibility
We lead or support innovative efforts to decrease waste and pollutants, conserve water and energy, promote sustainable agriculture and food procurement, and respond to climate change.
