The IDOH, DNPA invests in partnerships and activities that work towards improving the health of all Indiana residents with an emphasis on removing the structural barriers that create health inequities and increasing equitable access for populations who have historically and/or contemporarily experienced oppression.  The implementation of tactical urbanism demonstration projects are effective ways to invest in changes to policies and the built environment that support equitable and healthy community outcomes.
