BUILD with us.

The BUILD Health Challenge is contributing to the creation of a new norm in the U.S., one that puts multi-sector community partnerships at the foundation of improving health for everyone.

Our Vision

The BUILD Health Challenge believes that community stakeholders from across sectors have a shared responsibility to improve community health.

What We Do

We strengthen partnerships—between community-based organizations, hospitals and health systems, and local health departments—with a shared commitment to moving resources, attention, and action upstream to reduce health disparities and create opportunities for improved community health.

Communities

To date, The BUILD Health Challenge has supported 55 projects in 25 states and Washington, DC. Together, they are working to transform the health and wellness of their communities.
