How We Work
We believe that quality health means shared decision-making that focuses on the needs of the individual throughout their lives. This means that health includes the long-term services and care needs of individuals. Moreover, our efforts reflect that mental health and physical health are central to well-being.
We particularly focus on:
-
Decision-making that takes into account science, culture, and community.
-
Healthcare providers being able to tailor care to the individual.
-
Individuals having the tools and resources to manage their health
-
National efforts that are connected to global and international efforts
-
Capacities and competencies to respond to health emergencies.
-
Services that integrate physical and mental health.
We collaborate with our members, a broad range of partners, and many others to do our work.
