The mission of the Consumer Health Foundation is to achieve health justice in the Washington, D.C. region through activities that advance the health and well being of historically underserved communities. We support initiatives that empower consumers to make decisions and take actions that improve personal, family and community health.
We envision a region and nation in which everyone - regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status - has an equal opportunity to live a healthy and dignified life.
Community health requires a dual focus: We are committed both to assuring that all residents in our region have equal access to quality health care, and to addressing the social and economic conditions that shape the health of our communities.
