ZIP Code Matters
“Across America, babies born just a few
miles apart have dramatic differences in life
expectancy.
To improve health we need to improve people’s
opportunities to make healthy choices—
in the places where they live, learn, work and play.”

Lessons Learned
Lessons learned: • Community health centers are natural partners for a range of community
development efforts, but require incentives and promptings to partner and take on debt to respond to market changes;
• The Healthy Futures Fund is a powerful tool for collaboration among CDFIs, financing partners, FQHCs, and community development partners
Questions:• How can we best leverage the strong network of current Healthy Futures
Fund partners to increase health center collaborations with community development partners and positively impact community health?
• Can the benefits of improved primary care access and preventative care be quantified and monetized?
• How can the partners further and deepen the integration of health into its work nationwide?

Recommendations for Action
#1: Prepare your story by putting it in a “healthy communities” perspective
a. Inextricable link between education, income, health
b. Why ZIP code matters
c. How your work is fundamental to healthy communities (e.g., list which healthy communities components are important to you and why)
d. Economic, financial, social, environmental value of your work
Income
Recommendations for Action#2: Reach out to “unusual suspects” among healthy communities experts (experts in built environment, employment, public/personal safety, social networks, etc.)
a. Learn their perspectives (goals, successes, challenges)
b. Identify their community and economic development priorities (activities, geographic markets)
c. Ask them about community collaborations that they’d recommend you joining
d. Invite them to participate in your community collaborations
#3: As you decide how to address health and safety issues, engage community entities and residents. Residents can tell you what will work, what won’t and what kind of change is meaningful to them.
Income
Recommendations for Action
#4: Use your expertise to promote a culture of health. This could involve:
Writing an op-ed piece in the local newspaper
Sharing your research findings in public forums (e.g. with city council)
Sitting on boards of local nonprofits that address nonmedical issues that affect health and safety concerns (financial capacity, built environment, employment, public transportation, social networks, etc.)
#5: Define success not only as learning what works but learning what doesn’t work
Reward partners for sharing these learnings Incorporate these learnings into the feedback loop.
This process of continual improvement is vital to creating a culture of health.
