This Alliance was formed to tackle key public health issues like tobacco use, obesity, infant mortality and opioid abuse. For too long, we have assumed that we can’t change the health status of Hoosiers. It is our goal to bring together health care leaders, employers, policymakers, educators, funders, insurers and more to make Indiana healthier. Questions?
