Over the past months, the Healthy Data Collective has been a space for dialogue, learning, and exploration—bringing together leaders, practitioners, and innovators who believe in the power of health data to drive meaningful change. 

Through this initiative, we have built connections, developed valuable insights, and created ways aimed at transforming how health data is understood and used. However, after careful reflection, we have made the difficult decision to pause this work due to shifting priorities and a recognition that the system may not yet be fully ready for the changes we envisioned. 

This is not the end. The work we have done collectively is not lost. We are intentionally preserving the assets developed through this initiative, keeping them for the time when the health systems are ready to embrace and apply them more fully. When that moment comes — and when the need for such an approach is recognized as essential—we hope to build upon the foundation we have laid together. 

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to this initiative—whether by participating in discussions or webinars, sharing knowledge, or simply expressing interest. Your engagement has made this work richer, and we hope to continue these conversations in other ways. 

If you’d like to stay connected or explore related work in the future, please reach out. While this chapter is closing for now, the need for a more strategic and connected approach to health data remains. 

Thank you for being part of this journey.
