THI focuses on advocating for increased public and private investments in initiatives that promote health equity. THI emphasizes the importance of addressing social determinants of health, such as access to healthy food, safe housing, and well-paying jobs. They work with healthcare institutions, including health insurers, federal agencies, state departments of health and human services, and foundations, to encourage them to integrate these factors into their strategies.
