Healthcare systems face unprecedented challenges. One in every three people die from preventable causes. Multiple chronic diseases affect a growing number of patients. Many populations are aging. Healthcare systems must address these challenges with limited budgets, about 30% of which are wasted. However, many solutions already exist. We need to help patients and systems access them. Movement Health Foundation paves the way for public-private partnerships, accelerating the adoption of innovative solutions across healthcare systems.

In the next three years, Movement Health will expand to build scalable solutions in five continents across the globe.
