The Roadmap’s Common Agenda focuses on 5 pathways
The Roadmap Common Agenda is the guiding framework to align action on the nonmedical factors impacting health. You can download the full common agenda below to learn more about each of the 5 pathways.
Policy Approaches Pathways
- Identify policy and system changes that are proven to help with nonmedical factors like housing, food, and/or transportation and have a positive financial return.
- Help community leaders and decision-makers understand policies that address nonmedical factors and how they can improve health while saving money.
In October 2025, the Roadmap lead organizations set the first policy focus as food security.
