The Summit
The Summit is organized around four critical health action areas pertaining to fostering a healthier rural West. These action areas, based on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s New Action Framework, inform AHW’s objectives and the Summit’s key results.
- Making Health a Shared Value
- Fostering Cross-Sector Collaboration
- Creating a Healthier, More Equitable Communities
- Strengthening Integration of Health Services and Systems
Building from the initial Summit, AHW will continue to convene, collaborate, and commit rural stakeholders. Most importantly, AHW serves as the incubator for the initiatives identified and proposed during the Summit, and defines next steps needed to achieve our health transformation objectives. Join us as we create a healthier rural west!
