Our Mission: The Population Health Innovation Lab (PHIL) designs, catalyzes, and accelerates innovative approaches that advance health, well-being, and equity.
Discover some of our recent impactful projects:
- Preventing & Responding to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): PHIL has extensive experience bringing together multisector collaboratives to find evidence-based ways of preventing and responding to ACEs. Through the PRACTICE: Preventing and Responding to ACE-Associated Health Conditions and Toxic Stress in Clinics through Community Engagement initiative, we support the efforts of clinical teams to address toxic stress in local communities. Working with stakeholders from six northern California counties, PHIL supported the establishment of the Northern ACEs Collaborative, a multisector collaborative to identify and address opportunities for policy and systems change that mitigate issues of ACEs, trauma, and domestic violence.
- Supporting Accountable Communities of/for Health (ACH): PHIL is a leader in the ACH movement and has provided strategic support in launching ACHs in multiple states. Through the Aligning Systems for Health project, we partnered with ACHs in Washington and California to identify which aligning approaches work and why. PHIL has supported the California Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (CACHI) communities, bringing together clinical providers with public health departments, schools, social service agencies, community organizations, and others to improve health and promote health equity in targeted California communities.
- Bringing Together Multisector Collaboratives (MSCs): PHIL fosters collaboration and networking among MSCs. Our work through the National Alliance for Health united partner organizations on a common agenda between health care and public health sectors to create healthier, safer, and more equitable communities, environments, and systems to improve community health. As part of the CDC's 6|18 Initiative, PHIL created a change package of resources needed to assist groups to organize and engage in MSCs that increase the engagement of employers, health plans, and providers in efforts to expand the coverage and delivery of key heart health strategies and other preventive services.
