Bloomberg Philanthropies

In @cityofsavannah, @MayorJohnsonSAV's Innovation Team is showing what happens when local government starts with the challenges residents actually face and builds solutions from there, around their needs. The result? A new approach to fight floods, improve the air, and bring the public in as partners—transforming not just what city hall can do, but how it works.

The next generation of healthcare workers is already getting a head start. 🩺 Meet Aubrey, a student at BELIEVE Academy in St. Louis who’s pursing her dream of becoming a nurse and making a difference in the lives of others. With support from @BloombergDotOrg, specialized healthcare high schools across the country will prepare over 8,500 students for high-demand careers through hands-on training, real-world experience, and opportunities to build skills for the future.

When first-generation college students have access to the support and opportunities they need, the impact extends far beyond the classroom. 🎓 #CelebrateFirstGen This First-Generation College Celebration Week, we’re highlighting the Kessler Scholars Collaborative, which we support alongside the Judy and Fred Wilpon Family Foundation. Working with colleges and universities nationwide, the Collaborative is helping first-gen students succeed throughout their college journeys and beyond. From higher graduation rates to increased participation in internships and research, the results speak for themselves.

Bloomberg @AmericanHealth Fellows are on the frontlines in communities across the country, addressing some of today’s biggest health challenges while earning an MPH or DrPH from @JohnsHopkinsSPH. At the #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26, they shared the work they’re doing, the progress they’re seeing, and the lessons they’re learning on the ground.

From the streets we walk to the food we eat and the air we breathe, mayors are leading the way on public health. #WorldCitiesDay Through the Partnership for Healthy Cities, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies in collaboration with @WHO and @VitalStrat, local leaders are putting proven public health solutions into action to build healthier, safer communities.

Building a better, healthier future for Americans. The #BloombergAmericanHealthSummit26 brought together public health leaders and experts to address issues including adolescent health, environmental challenges, food systems, addiction and overdose, and violence.

America is missing millions of homes, and three mayors are showing how to build them faster: a digital permitting system and a 30-day clock on approvals in @MayorToddGloria's @CityofSanDiego, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) expanding across Mayor @KirkPWatson's @austintexasgov, and one strike force with a single job in Mayor @andreforatlanta's @CityofAtlanta, where more than 14,000 homes are built or underway. With @USAccelerate and experts like @PublicDigitalHQ, we are moving what works to more city halls across the country, with the funds, expertise, and peers that will prove how local government will get the job done.
