DISINFORMATION DOCTORS

Our mission is to advance policy, build partnerships, and strengthen public health to create communities where people can achieve their best possible health... When Americans say "health," they often mean healthcare or health insurance - not community health. Our nation spends more on healthcare than any other developed country, but we rank below comparable countries in nearly every indicator, including life expectancy, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, lung disease, and alcohol- and drug-related deaths. Healthcare that focuses on individuals after they've become sick falls short because it doesn't address the many social and economic factors that influence health. In comparison to healthcare, public health is underfunded and undervalued, and our goal is to help close that gap by investing in lasting solutions to improve health... The Foundation is not a traditional grant-making organization, and we do not accept unsolicited grant proposals. We have a focused portfolio of initiatives..
