Healthcare & Health Equity

We work with public health agencies and health systems across California. For the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), we designed and built Prevention Forward, a platform for chronic disease prevention and health equity. It serves healthcare professionals in English and Spanish. Our health work also extends into drug development and pharmaceutical commercialization.

Services

What we deliver here

  • Health Equity Strategic Planning

    We write health equity plans for agencies and health systems, setting priorities from population data and tying each goal to a measure.

  • Policy Development & Healthcare Research

    We research health policy questions and draft policies, briefs, and templates, including the health equity policy templates published on Prevention Forward.

  • Community-Based Health Intervention Design

    We design prevention interventions with community organizations and health workers, setting out who they reach, how they run, and how they are measured.

  • Cultural Humility & Implicit Bias Training

    We build cultural humility and implicit bias training for clinical and public health staff, including continuing-education modules on Prevention Forward.

  • Curriculum & Training Development

    We build curricula for health workers and public health staff, from prevention program training to licensure and continuing-education study modules.

  • Healthcare Access Expansion Consulting

    We map where and why patients fall out of care, then advise on sites, hours, language access, and outreach to close those gaps.

  • Community Health Needs Assessment

    We run community health needs assessments using public data, surveys, and focus groups, and deliver a report that sets out priority needs.

  • Health Communication & Education Strategies

    We produce health education in English and Spanish, including factsheets, webinars, and campaign content, shaped with the communities it serves.

  • Drug Development & Commercialization Support

    We support pharmaceutical teams with research, market and audience analysis, and patient and provider materials during development and launch.
