How are we improving the health of populations disenfranchised by the health care system? By helping state WIC programs transition to participant-centered services. By leading coalitions of community organizations to reduce opioid misuse and abuse. By establishing an innovative care delivery system to prevent childhood dental disease. And that's just the beginning.
