ACE Your Health

Making Health Equitable, One Community at a Time

Everyone has a right to good health and well-being, but America's promise has fallen short. Individual health does not exist in a vacuum. It is tied to the community conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work, and age. The roots of historic inequity run deep in fragmented public and private health systems — and we're committed to shifting the balance.

As part of our ACE Your Health initiative, we've traveled across the country with our partner, Sanofi, to collect data and real-life experiences about health at the community level. Those insights will drive the solutions our communities need to improve health outcomes.

Designing Artificial Intelligence for Health Equity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more commonplace in the modern world. It's not only present in the consumer products we use daily, but it's increasingly present in the sectors that impact our lives in very real ways - like healthcare. The ACE Your Health AI Task Force explores ways to build healthier futures through AI in an upcoming white paper, publishing November 2025.
