At ReThink Health, a Rippel initiative, we work with national and regional stewards to discover what it takes to guide transformative change and produce better health and well-being for all.

How do stewards shift the system that produces health and well-being?

Stewards are people or organizations who take responsibility for working with others to create conditions that all people need to thrive, beginning with those who are struggling and suffering.
