Our work in Public Health systems catalyzes more coordinated, resilient, and scalable systems, including the pharmaceutical supply chain, that improve access to essential services, medical products, and supplies; strengthen preparedness; and create the conditions for better health outcomes.

Our work in Chronic Disease Prevention catalyzes integrated, multicondition prevention systems that address the leading drivers of preventable illness and health-care costs, such as cardiometabolic risk. Through applied research and expert convenings, we connect cross-sector leaders to advance the adoption, scaling, and measurement of community-integrated prevention approaches. 

The Project Prevent Collaborative, anchored in Chronic Disease Prevention, brings together ecosystem leaders in a premier forum to move proven models into policy and everyday practice so prevention reaches more people.

Our work in Mental Health advances research and cross-sector action to expand access to high-quality mental health services, promote innovation in scalable care models and technologies, and address the drivers of the youth mental health crisis. Through this work, we support more integrated, responsive, and accessible systems of care that improve well-being across the lifespan.

In our signature program, the Alliance to Improve Dementia Care, we bring together a multi-sector coalition of leaders to uncover the latest breakthroughs in brain health and we work to increase timely detection, improve access to treatment, coordinated care, and address health equity for people at risk for or living with dementia and their caregivers. Through expert workgroups, convenings, collaborative initiatives, and thought leadership, the Alliance amplifies and promotes the adoption of proven polices, solutions, and promising innovations in dementia care.

Understanding that financial well-being is a cornerstone of a fulfilling life, the Future of Aging and Longevity initiative drives change in policies and practices that enable meaningful work lives. It addresses long-term care gaps and caregiving impacts and promotes a life-course approach to financial wellness. By advocating for policies that support sustainable income and retirement planning, the initiative helps build a future where every individual can enjoy their golden years without financial anxiety.

Partnering with longevity innovators and multisector stakeholders, the Future of Aging and Longevity develops solutions that enhance healthspan—the period of life spent in good health. By advancing preventive care, fostering social connections, and promoting purpose-driven living, the initiative champions scientific progress that encourages not just longer lives, but healthier ones. This holistic approach to health ensures that individuals can remain active participants in society throughout their lives. 

We promote innovations and policies that scale the integration of tech-enabled health and home care, create a broad spectrum of housing options, and foster social and intergenerational connections.

Preventable illnesses remain among the most significant global health challenges. Noncommunicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity contribute substantially to premature mortality, often linked to limited access to healthy foods, insufficient physical activity, and underused screening services. Embracing a prevention-first strategy is vital for preserving population health and moderating the escalating costs associated with advanced care.

At FasterCures, we aim to speed the delivery of treatments to all patients by addressing barriers to the development of new products, by leveraging patients’ data responsibly and delivering direct benefits from contributing their information, and by ensuring the biomedical research ecosystem is as diverse and inclusive as the populations it is intended to serve.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant gaps in our health-care system, including in our clinical trial infrastructure. In addition, the stark differences in health outcomes for different populations underscored the need to address health disparities and social determinants of health. FasterCures wants to ensure the lessons of the COVID-19 crisis are not lost as the urgency subsides, particularly in the conduct of research and development.
