Building a Healthier America, State by State

Action Coalitions in almost every state and Washington, D.C. carry out the work of the Campaign at the local, regional, and state levels. Our multi-sector state coalitions extend beyond nursing and health care and include nearly 2,000 organizations, working together to build health equity.

State coalitions are comprised of a mosaic of partners including local school systems, fire and emergency services, 4H chapters, libraries, area heath education centers and other workforce organizations, businesses and business groups, foundations, and social justice organizations, among others. Leveraging the power of local community, collectively, state coalitions have raised more than 110 million dollars as of 2021, all in service of creating healthier communities through nursing.
