Pathways to Population Health (P2PH) is an initiative that has identified four portfolios of work health care organizations can undertake to accelerate their progress in improving health, well-being, and equity.

Organizations can use these P2PH resources to jump start or accelerate their efforts to improve population health.

This resource includes:

Foundational concepts and a common language (the WHY)
Four interconnected portfolios of population health (the WHAT)
Levers for implementation to accelerate progress within and across the portfolios (the HOW)
