Health for All is an approach in which every person has fair and just opportunities to achieve their highest level of health. Communities that value and practice health for all believe that health is a basic human right and strive to address the systems and structures that keep people from experiencing this basic right.
Lincoln’s Health for All Coalition strives to address the systemic barriers that prevent access to health. Members seek innovative solutions to reduce health disparities that are based on community input. Coalition efforts focus on both internal organizational changes and interagency initiatives that aim to increase health access for all.

Lincoln’s Health for All Coalition was initiated by Well Connected Communities, a national health and well-being initiative of the Cooperative Extension System—in partnership with National 4-H Council and support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)—that worked to ensure that life-long health and well-being were within everyone’s reach. 2019-2023.
