Cases
Frameworks are only effective if they’re put to good use. That’s why Gehl and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation have teamed up with four organizations to test how the IHP Framework can be a guide for community-based projects. Each organization was chosen for its national reach, and close ties to community partners. Facilitated by Gehl and RWJF, leaders from each organization are convening regularly through Spring 2022 to update on progress and share lessons learned. Together, the group is building a community of practice centered on health equity.
