One thing we know from experience, the best health solutions come from committed communities and the small choices individuals make every day. Whether it's the community in which you live, or a community of people who are passionate about the same thing, we choose to reach out where we can help make communities stronger and healthier.
The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership
The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership offers education, training, and improved care to millions of people around the world who have fallen victim to deadly multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Among its many efforts, this Partnership delivers indispensable antibiotics to the poor and transfers drug manufacturing know-how to high burden countries. It is a Transfer of Hope.
Life for a Child
Lilly believes in the vision of the Life for a Child program operated by the International Diabetes Foundation — better health for all people with diabetes, especially those who need our help the most. Life for a Child has helped hundreds of children with diabetes survive — and thrive — in the face of extreme poverty.
Healthy Family Home
The YMCA of the USA and Lilly have partnered together to create Healthy Family Home to help American families make small changes in habits that can make a big difference in health. Healthy Family Home is designed to work in any home and in any community, and allows families to pick the actions and health goals that make the most sense for them. The expectation is that the program will empower families to make wholesome choices each day to sustain an improved quality of life.
Give an Hour
Lilly is continuing its history of supporting programs that serve the men and women who have served the United States. The Lilly Foundation has provided a grant to Give an Hour and the American Psychiatric Foundation to heed the call of a growing public health crisis — the unmet mental health needs of returning soldiers and their families — to help U.S. veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The grant will be used to recruit and educate volunteer mental health professionals, who will become part of a network aiming to bridge the gap in mental health services for soldiers returning from service, as well as their families.
