Health in Partnership (formerly Human Impact Partners)

We are building a world that supports collective health and wellbeing, where all people have what they need to be healthy and thrive.

Where we take care of each other and cultivate just and equitable communities. Where all people have power to shape the culture, policies, and structures that impact their lives.

We understand health to mean the collective wellbeing of all living beings and the planet, which are inextricably linked and interdependent.

We know that building collective health requires reckoning with the past and current harms of systemic violence, racism, and all forms of oppression. It means centering the experiences, knowledge, and leadership of those who have been most harmed by current structures, and fundamentally transforming power relations to build new systems grounded in racial justice and collective healing.

We envision a public health field rooted in equity and racial justice, acting in partnership with and accountable to social justice movements to shift the unjust power imbalances and systems of oppression that create and uphold inequities. We need a broad and deep public health ecosystem – bridging government, non-governmental public health organizations, and community power-building groups – capable of transforming the material conditions that drive health.
