Our Approach: Private Sector Principles for Results-Driven Philanthropy


West Health’s CEO, Shelley Lyford, describes our unique approach to the mission of successful aging. For West Health, addressing the needs of seniors isn’t simply a fiscal and political priority – it’s a moral imperative. Each of our separate entities works together in pursuit of our successful aging mission. Our Institute ensures that our Foundation’s grant-making is informed by sound research and data, while our Policy Center circulates our best ideas to thought leaders and partners who help scale our most fruitful programs for nationwide benefit.
