Putting Compassion into Action

Building on over two decades of learning from health systems improvement initiatives, CommonHealth ACTION's philosophy guides its practice to invest in people and dedicate available resources to those most affected by inequities in health and well-being. A national, non-profit, public health organization located in Washington, DC, CommonHealth ACTION serves as a catalyst and intermediary for the development of community generated solutions. We work nationally in support of community and government efforts to improve health outcomes while building sustainable community capacity.
