BATTLE CRY: ACTIVATE HEALTH Activate Health is our battle cry; it’s about shifting the lens on how we see, think about, and engage with our health. It’s not just about knowledge, but it’s also about action. There is power in numbers, and the more of us who take action, the more powerful our impact can be. The Foundation aims to improve health equity for all, that is, because we believe that health is a human right, we want everyone to be able to meet their highest health potential. This year, we were proud to continue to promote Activate Health through four powerful blog posts highlighted below. 8 WAYS TO BE A HEALTH AMBASSADOR IN YOUR COMMUNITY THIS YEAR At the beginning of 2023, we wanted to make sure that everyone felt inspired by actions they can take to be a health ambassador in their community.
