Michigan-based nonprofit Altarum Institute has announced the launch of its new $7 million Mission Projects Initiative. The self-funded Initiative is designed to solve pressing health care issues using systems methods at institutional, organizational, and community levels.
The initial three Mission Projects will be conducted simultaneously, lasting approximately two years. The projects, designed and conducted in concert with local and national partners, will take place at selected pilot program sites around the country. The pilot sites will serve as laboratories where best practices can be studied and new methods modeled.
The first Mission Project will focus on preventing childhood obesity by supporting health-promoting changes in clinical, community, corporate, and governmental sectors.
