Karabi Acharya, who has drawn upon her expertise in anthropology, public health and systems thinking in working with the citizen sector in the United States, South Asia, and Africa, joined the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in 2015. She directs the Foundation’s strategies for global learning as it identifies best practices in other countries, including poorer or less-developed ones, and adapting them to improve the social determinants of health in communities in the United States. “We are looking internationally for solutions that will help us build a Culture of Health,” Acharya says. “While RWJF has always sought out new programs and strategies in the United States, we understand that we don’t have all the answers here at home. So we seek to assimilate ideas from around the world and use that knowledge to create global health care solutions.”
