Spanning eight years and four phases, Invest Health stands out as a rare and impactful model, offering valuable lessons for small and midsize cities nationwide. The evaluation explores the outcomes of 50 small and midsize cities working at the intersection of health and community development. The three deep dive reports take a closer look at the initiative’s cross-city network, long-lasting impacts, and influence on the field.
In late November 2023, over 200 people from small to mid-sized U.S. cities converged in Nashville to embark on a journey that differed from the typical structure of a conference: the participants co-planned the event from the very beginning.
