** Dear John,
------------------------------------------------------------
For over two decades, Health Leads has been wrestling with one of the most difficult questions facing healthcare: how do we ensure that every person has access to the essentials they need to be healthy?

While I’ve seen many positive changes across the healthcare sector, the reality is that we still live in a country where a change in zip code can mean a 15-year difference in life expectancy.

Through nearly a decade of leading programs at Health Leads, I’ve learned that the path to healthier communities cannot be found within health systems alone. With a gift to Health Leads, you are elevating the voices of community members in partnership with health systems to identify the best pathways to improved health and well-being. ([link removed])

We've seen that people living in the community have the best understanding of what needs to change to improve health. In NYC, women shared that an inconsistent enrollment process prevented enrollment in a critical nutritional assistance program. In California, we heard clearly that severe rental burden is taking a significant toll on health.

I am writing today to ask for your support to continue these conversations and improve health programs across the country. ([link removed])

When you make a gift ([link removed]) to Health Leads, you are bringing together health systems, community organizations, and community members – as equal partners – to find more effective solutions to address the root causes of poor health.

With your partnership, we can finally ensure that every person has access to the essentials they need to be healthy.

With gratitude –
