Health Equity Works

In 2023, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation partnered with The Opportunity Agenda to launch a new initiative; a health equity communications lab that would respond to today’s landscape. We knew we needed research-informed, coordinated action to stop the spread of misinformation and overcome systemic barriers to progress. Over the past 2 years, The Opportunity Agenda incubated Health Equity Works (HEW) — a strategic communications hub designed to help change how we talk about racial health equity in America and swiftly respond to emerging challenges as they develop.
We are thrilled to announce that as of August 2025, HEW has officially launched as an independent organization to support long-term narrative development in the health sector. Learn more about Health Equity Works and join the network at healthequityworks.org
