Milken Institute Health Signature Initiatives
The workplace is a community in and of itself that can contribute meaningfully to a healthier ecosystem. Employers have a critical role to play in advancing whole-person health by taking a stand for specific action, helping raise awareness among their employees, and taking steps to advance the health of the communities in which they operate. The Employer Action Exchange provides a trusted platform and includes expert guidance, briefings, and networking to advance customized, tangible actions on whole-person health priorities.
Advancing women’s health in the United States and globally can improve health and well-being of women, their families, and society. There is a need for practical, innovative, and scalable solutions to address the critical issues, as well as immediate action by a range of stakeholders to advance women’s health throughout the lifespan. The Milken Institute’s efforts in women’s health span research, events, and thought leadership designed to foster collaboration and motivate action across the health ecosystem.
