The Future of the Social Sector: Profit and Privatization vs. Openness and Equity

In a sector historically hampered by fragmentation and underinvestment, we stand at an inflection point with increased federal attention and funding flowing into health equity.

This reality creates cycles of disempowerment for communities and profit hoarding for the private sector, while leaving the root causes of social needs to manifest.
