Health+ Framework
What if we were just healthy—not trying to be healthy or worried about being healthy—just healthy because the places where we live, work, play, and learn are filled with experiences and opportunities to make us healthy, regardless of what we look like, how we identify, what resources we have, or where we live. What would that world look like?
This revolutionary vision—already permeating the field of public health and society at large—-is pushing us all to reframe how we define health and how we achieve it.
Playing a part in making this vision a reality was the impetus for the creation of Health+ Studio.
Holding our big vision—making health possible for all—front and center, we focus on building strategies that drive impact. Our strategy development tool allows us to take an evolutionary approach to turning ideas into reality.

Every decision we make and action we take, from research to execution, are informed by:
People - their lived experiences
Context - systems at play
Science - existing knowledge base
Equity - leveling the playing field
Collective action - being part of a bigger solution
