RESTORING TRUST IN THE HEALTH ECOSYSTEM
Coming through a global pandemic with less trust in the healthcare system, inequitable access to quality information and affordable care, and the medical science we rely on being politicized, it is time to restore trust and rebuild confidence in health.
Break through the information barrier
Where there is less trust, use local voices; elevate and amplify expert voices for those with higher trust.
Build trust across the full health ecosystem
When trust in government lags, other institutions must play a larger role to build confidence in evolving public health measures.
Prepare for the next public health crisis
To build resilience, health organizations must take action to address disparities in health outcomes.
Embrace the employer role in health outcomes
Provide clear, reliable information, and design inclusive health policies and incentives.
