Eighty-two professionals in real estate development, planning, design, engineering, finance, and health care from around the globe have been selected to participate in the fourth cohort of the ULI Health Leaders Network. Due to the unique circumstances resulting from the pandemic that have required this cohort to be virtual, program administrators have increased the number of health leaders accepted for Cohort 4, which has been split into two subcohorts for programming.
The Health Leaders Network is designed to empower real estate and land use professionals with the skills, knowledge, and networks to improve health outcomes in their professional practice and communities.
Throughout 2021, Cohort 4 health leaders will convene virtually for forums and webinars, interact with Health Leaders Network alumni, and work in small groups on a project designed to help land use professionals communicate the value of health equity. More information regarding the program can be found at http://www.uli.org/healthleaders, and additional opportunities to get involved with ULI and the Building Healthy Places Initiative can be found on Navigator. Cohort 4 health leaders are listed below by geographic region. Click on each name to learn more about this year’s participants.
