Our Impact Areas

​

Our health departments and more than 200 community partners work together to create policies that protect health and increased economic opportunity. Because policy only improves our life when it's well implemented, we also provide training to government and community to help ensure policy and resources achieve our goals for health equity and shared economic prosperity. All of our work focuses on creating a more racially just and equitable world.

Equitable COVID-19 Response and Recovery

BARHII has taken a lead role in devising strategies to help those most impacted by COVID-19: Black, Latinx, and Pacific Islander communities.  
 

Our efforts have included engaging over 1,000 individuals in the development of a COVID-19 Rapid Response & Rolling Recovery strategy. The underpinnings of this strategy acknowledge the interdependency between response and recovery and recommends devising these strategies simultaneously. Our plan uses early warning indicators and real-time data that enables organizations to create agile strategies that can be quickly adapted according to need. BARHII identified the following four priorities for organizations developing response and recovery strategies:
