Third Horizon Strategies believes that achieving health is the seminal American institution to drive social connectedness and economic prosperity. Transforming health care demands forming a new social construct that builds systems of care for the common good, prioritizes health equity for all, and removes silos. It also requires understanding how the system works and why it operates the way it does so we don’t keep repeating past mistakes. Third Horizon Strategies specializes in providing a 360º view of complex challenges across three horizons – past, present, and future– to help industry leaders and policymakers interpret signals and trends and chart a path forward that enables all individuals, families, and communities to achieve optimal health.
