Modeling What’s Possible: IP3 Supports New ReThink Health Scenario Analysis

When it comes to transforming community conditions towards equitable well-being, data-driven modeling can be a powerful tool to guide bold decision-making. ReThink Health, an initiative of The Rippel Foundation, recently released new findings from its latest scenario analysis, offering vital insights into how communities can improve health outcomes, reduce inequities, and advance multiracial well-being for all. Read a summary of this work here.  

ReThink Health’s award-winning team of MIT-based system scientists developed the Thriving Together Model, which examined what could happen over the next 25 years if communities adopted different investment strategies across multi-racial well-being priorities like health care, social services, public health, and economic development. Key takeaways from the analysis include:


  • Strategic investments in foundational areas—like economic mobility and access to care—can lead to significant improvements in health, equity, and prosperity across all racial and ethnic groups.

  • Cross-sector coordination and shared stewardship are essential for achieving long-term impact on health and well-being.

  • The model allows communities to explore different scenarios tailored to their own data and priorities, helping leaders see what’s possible with intentional, collective action.


At IP3, we are proud to support this important work by providing the regional data analysis that powered the model. Using our IP3 ASSESS platform, our team has curated and analyzed secondary data across a broad set of indicators—from income inequality to housing stability to community engagement. These insights help ground the model in real-world conditions, making it useful and actionable for communities and stewards across the country.


For those already working with IP3 ASSESS or ReThink Health—or others considering ways to take your systems transformation work to the next level—this scenario model is a game-changer. The scenario helps identify potential worthwhile investments and strategies to advance equitable well-being for all. And IP3 can help you get there by collaborating to gather, analyze, and interpret the data you need to build your own community scenario in partnership with ReThink Health.
