We work with philanthropies, associations, and others to engage local leaders and residents in community-designed, community-led, strategies to equitably improve local health and wellbeing.
Healthy Places by Design specializes in helping our clients and funders advance health equity and create healthy communities through policy, systems, and environmental changes. Our services are designed to provide direct technical assistance, support, training, and tools to community coalitions and leaders to drive actual systems-level community-health change.
In our collaborative work with community leaders and residents, their funders, and other key partners, our Community Action Model guides our way. The model highlights the importance of a community’s context, defines six essential practices for success, and outlines a 3P Action Cycle: Partner, Prepare, and Progress. It represents more than 20 years of learning and refinement by Healthy Places By Design and is a well-tested approach for local investments.
