About
Health Resources in Action (HRiA) is a national non-profit organization working to improve and reimagine public health. Founded in 1957 as The Medical Foundation, HRiA has evolved from primarily funding biomedical research in Massachusetts to becoming a leader in public health transformation. The organization connects, consults, and collaborates to solve complex challenges of access and equity in health and social systems, driving sustainable impact through partnerships with communities, organizations, and funders. At the heart of HRiA's mission is a commitment to health and racial equity. Using a Health Equity Framework centered on racial justice, the organization works to identify and address root causes of health inequities, shift narratives, correct power imbalances, and disrupt systems of oppression. HRiA's comprehensive services include Assessment & Planning, Capacity Building, Evaluation, Grantmaking & Philanthropy, Information & Referral services, and Policy & Systems Change - all grounded in authentic community engagement and anti-racist approaches that advance equitable, sustainable health for all people.
