Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) seeks to improve the health and health care of all Americans by focusing on four goal areas:

• To assure that all Americans have access to quality health care at reasonable cost.

• To improve the quality of care and support for people with chronic health conditions.

• To promote healthy communities and lifestyles.

• To reduce the personal, social and economic harm caused by substance abuse - tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs.
  

To accomplish these goals, the Foundation uses a variety of strategies. It supports training, education, research (excluding biomedical research), and projects that demonstrate the effective delivery of health care services. Rather than paying for individual care, the Foundation concentrates on health care systems and the conditions that promote better health.
