Public health consulting · Virginia-based, working nationwide
Root and Reach Solutions partners with government agencies and community institutions to plan, strengthen, and evaluate the public health programs that people depend on.
Our expertise
Anchored by KYN, our flagship health education platform, our work moves from understanding a community to building what serves it — from the ground up and out into the open.
Our flagship platform supports health education that works toward stronger health literacy and, with it, greater health equity — helping make conditions like chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight easier to understand and talk about, with healthy eating guidance and home health monitoring literacy that meet people where they are.

Rigorous, useful evaluation that tells you what is working, what is not, and what to do next.
The root and reach philosophy
Every community's health story has roots — history, trust, access, and the daily conditions that shape wellbeing. Programs that ignore those roots rarely take hold, no matter how well intentioned they are.
We start by listening: walking neighborhoods, sitting in community meetings, reading the data alongside the people who live it. From that foundation, we help agencies design strategies that reach the people they serve — and evaluate honestly whether those strategies are working.
Lasting health grows from understanding, not assumption.
