As an organization working to create new systems and models, Tubman Health conducts quantitative and qualitative community-based research to identify community needs, priorities, strengths, and aspirations. Our research focuses not only on inequities but also on community assets, health strategies, and solutions. We aim to not simply close the gap on health outcomes, but to develop new, standard-setting models of care.

Designing a community-based health center that seeks to meet the needs of those most marginalized from the current medical model requires antiracist, community-based, and patient-centered health justice frameworks. Tubman Health’s community-directed approach to research is rooted in respect for, and comprehension of, community interests and values.
