STRATEGIC PLAN

We are proud to present the Health Equity Rising Strategic Plan. This plan reflects both the urgency of this moment and the long-term vision required to build a more connected, equitable, and responsive ecosystem of care. It builds on years of partnership across health care, social services, community-based organizations, and public agencies, while recognizing that the challenges facing our communities today demand deeper alignment and shared accountability.

This plan reflects more than an organizational roadmap; it is a shared call to action. It affirms our commitment to steward resources responsibly, to deepen collaboration across sectors, and to remain accountable to the community. Together, we will continue building a system where health and social care are not separate, but part of an interconnected and well-coordinated network of care that supports every person in Sonoma County.
