What is the HI-5 Initiative?

The HI-5 (“high-five”) or “Health Impact in Five Years Initiative” is a tool that highlights non-clinical, community-wide interventions with a proven track record. Each intervention listed is associated with improved health within five years or less as well as reported cost effectiveness and/or cost savings over the lifetime of the population or earlier.
