Central Iowa's success begins with our health and well-being.
Too often, policies and systems create barriers for people to access what they need to live healthy lives and fully contribute in our communities. Social and economic conditions especially influence a family's well-being and can have lasting, multi-generational impacts.
By working collaboratively to rethink our systems and targeting our attention and resources to underinvested areas, we can create equitable opportunities for people to thrive.
Our Approach
Mid-Iowa Health Foundation cultivates stakeholder engagement to address the social determinants of health. We connect a community-informed and data-driven understanding of health with new approaches and decision-making opportunities. We value working alongside our grantees to respond to emerging needs, share key learnings, elevate their successes, and inform future investments.
