    We envision a Connecticut where everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status—can achieve optimal health. To make this a reality, we focus on four areas that are critical to ensuring that the next generation will not face the same persistent racial and ethnic health disparities.

    Change comes from many different approaches. It can be through a grant that identifies a new way to deliver care, policy research that identifies a solution to a pressing problem, or leadership that fosters change.

Our Focus

Our New Strategic Plan

We have a new strategic plan that will launch in 2024, beginning a new chapter in our work toward health equity for people of color.

This is the picture of the cover of the Connecticut Health Foundation's 2024-2028 strategic plan. It features four photographs. One shows two boys smiling. One shows a woman wearing a shirt that says "It's the history of Black maternal health disparities for me." One shows a mother snuggling with her baby. One shows a community health worker talking to a woman.We developed the plan during a nine-month process that included research, reflection, and feedback from more than 65 people.

We looked for areas where there was momentum to advance health equity, where we could add value as a foundation, and where there were opportunities to make changes using the tools we have – grantmaking, policy advocacy, research, convening, and strategic communications.

This plan will continue our focus on advancing health equity for people of color. Similarly, we plan to continue our approach of seeking to change systems – that is, the policies, rules, and practices that affect people’s ability to be as healthy as possible.

The plan has four goal areas:

  • Expanding health care coverage
  • Sustainable funding for community health workers
  • Maternal health equity for people of color
  • Fostering the infrastructure for health equity

For each goal, we identified a long-term vision, a five-year goal, and a set of objectives. We know that overcoming the inequities that lead to disparate health outcomes is long-term work. Our hope is that this plan will help us move in the right direction.
