Social Impact Fund Los Angeles
As champions for health equity, the American Heart Association is identifying and removing social and economic barriers to health by investing in evidence-based, local, non-profit, and for-profit enterprises with solutions to shift the inequitable health paradigm. We're addressing the non-medical, social, and economic factors that cause many people to develop heart disease and live shorter lives. We're focused on improving 3 social determinants of health: Access to Health and Healthcare, Food Security, and Economic Resiliency/Poverty Reduction.
