Doing Business Differently, Together: The Story of ReThink Health Ventures

View Publication

This blog post reflects on the process and findings of ReThink Health initiative’s Ventures project and provides five lessons for stewards transforming regional health and well-being.

The Rippel Foundation launched the Ventures project to better understand: What does it take to do business differently, together? Specifically, it sought to explore what could accelerate the progress of ambitious multi-sector partnerships and organizations working to transform health and well-being in their regions, and what often derails their progress.

The project explored: How do leaders from across organizations and sectors need to work together differently? What might it look like to build a comprehensive regional strategy for transforming their health ecosystems? How could they sustainably finance that work, and build shared values to keep the group aligned around long-term goals?

The learning cohort of six multisector partnerships included groups from Sonoma County, California; Bernalillo County, New Mexico; Trenton, New Jersey; Finger Lakes, New York; King County, Washington; and the Central Oregon region.
