The Root Cause Coalition

Our mission is to reverse and end the systemic root causes of health inequities for individuals and communities through cross-sector partnerships. Established in 2015, the Root Cause Coalition is a non-profit, member-driven organization comprised of more than 60 leading health systems, hospital associations, foundations, businesses, national and community nonprofits, health insurers, academic institutions and policy centers. The Coalition works to achieve health equity through cross-sector collaboration in advocacy, education and research. In support of this mission, the Coalition seeks to uphold its four core values: Focusing on Community Change, Advancing Authentic Collaboration, Scaling Innovative Solutions, and Engaging and Learning from Communities.
