The Rogosin Institute

Dreyfus Health Foundation

The Dreyfus Health Foundation (DHF), a division of The Rogosin Institute, is a separate not-for-profit organization founded in 1988 that has helped over six million people in more than 30 countries by challenging individuals to think differently about, and take action to solve, the health and social issues affecting their communities.  The DHF serves as a catalyst for better health worldwide by transforming individuals and communities through a problem-solving process that empowers them to change themselves and their environments for the better.  The Foundation works to improve quality of life globally by fostering creative problem solving and project sustainability at the local and national levels and by promoting cooperation and interaction between participating countries.  DHF makes a long-term commitment to helping people help themselves by reinforcing ongoing programs and encouraging the use of available resources in project implementation and replication. Current efforts in the U.S. include programs in Houston, Texas, and the Mississippi Delta.  Along with partners from multiple sectors, including those in academics, business, health, government and the community, DHF is working toward not only improving health and quality of life in specific communities, but also generating models of health improvement that can be broadly applied both in the U.S., and elsewhere.
