Health - TCC Group

Build, activate, and evaluate efforts to advance health for all

As our understanding of health and its social determinants continues to expand, there is a case for viewing health not merely as a goal or an ideal but as a universal and inalienable human right, central to every aspect of social and economic equity.

Many of our public- and private-sector partners recognize this broader definition and address their efforts toward key social determinants of health—such as how racial and economic disparities, the stigma of certain illnesses, and barriers to adequate housing and education undermine health care quality, access, and outcomes for certain populations.

We collaborate in developing innovative tools, strategies, materials, and change initiatives, all based on comprehensive data and aimed at meaningfully reducing inequities.

“TCC develops innovative work by integrating science, epidemiology, sociology, communication, marketing, art technology, and humanity to transform individuals, healthcare programs, and communities. This work represents disruptive innovation in the fields of HIV and chronic illness.”

Ligia Peralta, MD, Sloan Fellow on Innovation and Global Leadership, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“Whether you are a large nonprofit or small nonprofit system, evaluation oftentimes gets put to the back burner as there aren’t resources allocated to it. TCC Group’s framework set us up to be a leader in the public health and health equity community while leveraging the expertise of others in the space.”

Cody McSellers-McCray, Regional Director of Community Health, Presence Health

“TCC Group didn’t just stop with the particular task at hand. They gave me access to literature, latest reports from partners working on similar issues, and linked us up with other players in the health network, so we felt that we were gaining access to knowledge that we didn’t even know existed.”

Stuart Coupe, Monitoring & Evaluation Manager, Hand in Hand International
