Community Solutions for Health Equity

The CSHE program works to uplift community histories, viable solutions, and cultural priorities around wellbeing and health justice, to inform and influence the conditions changes that are necessary for equitable health care systems transformation.

Community Solutions for Health Equity (CSHE), is the National Program Office for the CSHE program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). CSHE is a collaborative of 11 community-based organizations across the United States working to address healthcare system barriers and practices that perpetuate health inequities in their local communities.

The CSHE program elevates community histories and solutions, placing culture and community-driven priorities at the center of health and wellness efforts. By shifting mindsets, behaviors, and conditions, CSHE seeks to influence systemic changes in healthcare to promote community wellness and health justice.

CSHE partners with multicultural communities to ignite transformative change by uplifting lived experience, cultural wisdom, and community-defined wellness. We amplify local community power, strengthen leadership capacity, and equip partners with the tools and resources to activate systems transformation to advance wellness and justice for all people. CSHE envisions a future where health is a human right, justice is actionable, dignity is non-negotiable, and every system is accountable to the people it serves.
