People Power Health is a small organization based in Boston, Massachusetts, operating in the hospital and health care space. It promotes Health Justice as a framework in which social, cultural, political, and economic systems are aligned to support people’s health. The group notes that conventional healthcare training centers on patient care but often does not prepare professionals to address the conditions that make people ill. Its aim is to bring activism and community organizing into health care and to develop a community of health activists who can learn from each other and grow. Recent activity includes a collaboration with Boost Community, in partnership with the Sabin Vaccine Institute’s Boost Community, to offer a course titled Climate Ready Immunization — Empowering Immunization Professionals for Climate Action, beginning Tuesday, October 8, 2024. This development illustrates the organization’s focus on extending health professionals' engagement beyond clinical care to address broader determinants of health.
