Pathways to Resilience is sponsored by Aurrera Health Group with support from our committees and partners.
Aurrera Health Group’s mission is to advance access to affordable, comprehensive, equitable, high-quality health coverage and care. From 2019 – 2022, Aurrera Health Group supported California’s ACEs Aware initiative on behalf of former Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris. The vision for and importance of the work inspired us to take what we learned and apply it through a national lens, resulting in the creation of Pathways to Resilience. Read more reflections on the experience here.
Pathways to Resilience is also supported by our Strategic Partners, Expert Advisory Committee, Governors’ First Spouse Steering Committee, and several partner organizations.
