Who We Are

The Health Equity Collective (“Collective”) is a systems coalition dedicated to improving care coordination for non-medical drivers of health in the Greater Houston region. The Collective has over 1500 members representing 325 health systems, payers, social service organizations, and academic institutions.

The coalition uses a collective impact approach whereby organizations come together to develop a shared agenda and activities to strengthen regional infrastructure and capacity for non-medical drivers of health and health outcomes.

The Center for Health Equity serves as the backbone organization, anchoring this collective impact effort.
