Health system inequity is a problem worth solving
By leading collaborative initiatives, WMRHA and our partners are transforming regional health systems. Our goal is health for all people and communities by supporting change together.
WMRHA works to:
Increase access
Improve equity
Advocate for change
We focus on the Social Determinants of Health and people most affected by these non-medical factors that influence health outcomes.
Our Initiatives
We organize and fund initiatives with diverse partners to address food insecurity, homelessness and provide community health resources.
Partnerships
Our partners are health providers, government agencies & community organizations working to improve health systems.
About WMRHA
We proactively identify areas of need that affect health, such as homelessness and food security. We then build goal-driven initiatives via cooperative partnerships with dedicated organizations to solve these community health issues.
WMRHA serves as a bridge for gaps in networking, integration and funding between the diverse regional health stakeholders. Greater integration leads to more efficient organizational overlap, funding opportunities, and increased influence in health policy.
