We work with visionary leaders to transform health at the regional level – their neighborhoods, cities, counties, or states. We promote broad and systemic thinking that allows leaders to step outside their own frames of reference so they can better see how the various parts of the system interact in unexpected ways and determine how and where they can exert influence. Our hope is that by demonstrating regional success, we inspire transformation across the country.

One of The Rippel Foundation’s most important contributions to the field of population health is the ReThink Health Dynamics Model, which has been freely available and widely used since its launch seven years ago.

In response to growing demand, we invested in a new set online features that make the Model even easier to use. Today we are excited to share these updates as well as revisit the Model's broad utility for an array of users.
