The Movement
We understand that health is the key to not only
physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being but also to economic strength.
Our members are committed to making health and well-being a priority in industry
and government, but also for individuals, families, and communities.
Achieving our goal requires a wide range of
collective action across sectors. We will facilitate that action, engaging
diverse perspectives from organizations and individuals to create a network of
people, ideas, policies, and programs.
We are a non-partisan organization that
facilitates partnerships between national and grassroots efforts, fosters
innovative actions, and connects individuals to spark, a nationwide social
movement to make the U.S. the healthiest nation in a healthier world.
