Our Mission

We champion the health and well-being of families and children by improving health outcomes through data-driven programs.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every child and family has the resources and community they need to achieve their dreams.

We believe in a whole-person approach to health and well-being. When children and families are empowered with the resources and support that help them access comprehensive services, build trust and connections, and strengthen their stability, they are better equipped to break cycles of trauma, poverty, and poor health and alter the outlook for future generations.

 

Our Core Values

Partner Authentically

Collaboration is the ethos that guides us and gives us strength. We believe that listening to families and partners with genuine compassion and intent inspires solutions to address the specific health, social, and economic challenges of each family and community we serve.

Lead with learning

We champion curiosity, innovation, and learning from success, failure, and changing contexts. We implement creative programs founded on data and science and share best practices with our networks and policymakers to improve systems of care for current and future generations.

Advance equity

Our passionate team shows up every day, committed to courageously advocating for the elimination of the gaps in our systems of care—gaps that lead to poor health outcomes for families. We work tirelessly to find opportunities that help close these gaps, ensuring that all families have the opportunity to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Our goal is to foster a workplace where all individuals are valued, as we aim to be the change we seek.

Champion Families

Families are our North Star; they guide everything we do. By meeting families where they are, we ensure our tools and data-driven programs deliver comprehensive results with lasting impact.

Earn Trust

We hold ourselves accountable to each other, to families, and to other partners. These relationships enable us to provide the best support and solutions to give children and families a healthy and thriving start.
