Our Mission

Build a culture of health for all Genevians, reduce disparities and contain health costs through education and state level advocacy for new and sustained funding to promote health equity and prevent the leading causes of illness and injury, particularly through upstream primary prevention.

Our Foundational Principles

• The Geneva Alliance for Prevention Funding supports establishment of a statewide mechanism to assure long term, sustainable funding of local and state initiatives to promote health equity and prevent the leading causes of illness, injury, and premature death in Geneva.

​

• Funding should support policies, systems and environmental changes and community programs that work outside of health care settings to make Geneva's communities more conducive to health.

​

• Funds should be distributed and coordinated among: local health departments; community-based, regional and statewide nonprofit organizations; and state government according to established criteria.

​

• Funds must benefit all Genevians and promote greater equity and health, reaching residents from urban to rural areas, young and old, and across Geneva’s diverse races and ethnicities.
