Health includes public health education, care coordination and access to treatment. Economic Development focuses on building strong businesses, skilled talent and resilient communities through workforce investment and green innovation.

The group operates as a mission-driven network of affiliates, combining local expertise with shared infrastructure and innovation. It serves populations including at-risk children, working families, veterans, individuals with disabilities, people affected by substance misuse, justice-involved individuals and older workers, and describes itself as a thought leader in designing approaches to economic well-being.
