ChangeLab Solutions: Helping You Achieve Health in All Policies

Can healthy policy transform a community? It can, but only if you and your community have the support and resources to hit the ground running with effective policy tools and best-practice approaches that are evidence-based.

ChangeLab Solutions can partner with your community at every step of the policy development process. Our team of attorneys, urban planners, and policy analysts are available to assist your community as you develop and implement public health policy strategies. 

ChangeLab Solutions

  • Assess Opportunities: What policies will do the most to help all residents of your community make the healthy choice the easy choice?
  • Strategize Solutions: What realistic, practical options have worked in other communities like yours? What is possible in the short term? The long term?
  • Create Tools: Is the right tool for the job already out there? Or do we need to develop something new—and legally sound—that precisely fits your needs?
  • Implement Plan: How can you take action on your vision of a healthier community?
  • Sustain Progress: How do you measure your strategy's success? What are the next steps to improve on the great work you've already done? What other opportunities exist for improved community health?

We help you start where you are in the process, whether you're just starting to build community support for policy change, already have some great ideas but need help turning them into practical policy solutions, or are looking for strategic ways to build on solid work you've already done. ChangeLab Solutions has worked with communities of all sizes nationwide—from big cities to rural towns—and knows how to help you make your community healthier for all residents. 

You can also learn about the highly accessible workshops and trainings we offer—they're designed to empower communities to move forward with concrete policies and strategies that will create real and lasting change.
