What We Believe
At PHAN, our values aren’t just words on a page, they shape every decision we make, every tool we build, and every partnership we pursue. In a world full of noise and disinformation, these principles keep us grounded in truth, guided by compassion, and focused on real-world impact. Here’s what drives us:
Evidence-Driven Wisdom
We’re committed to truth that reflects both scientific rigor and real life. Our work is rooted in peer-reviewed research, but we also listen closely to the lived experiences of those most impacted. When formal studies lag behind emerging realities, we responsibly elevate patterns and voices from the field.
Health Equity for All
Clean air is a human right, not a privilege. We focus on communities most vulnerable to airborne issues, pathogens, and climate-driven threats. Our goal: practical solutions that are inclusive, just, and accessible to all.
Collective Power
Solving today’s health crises requires working together. We bring global public health leaders, technologists, researchers, and communities to the same table, because the best solutions are built together.
Transparent Accountability
We don’t hide behind jargon or closed doors. Our actions are clear, our data is open where possible, and our loyalty lies with the public, not special interests. We believe trust is earned through honesty, consistency, and humility.
Practical Innovation
We turn science and emerging technology into usable tools. Whether repurposing existing research or building new tech, our focus is always on what works in the real world, especially for those who need it most.
Accessible Knowledge
We break down complex science so people can protect themselves and others. From explainer guides to open-source tools, we help make high-quality information clear, usable, and shareable, because informed communities are safer communities.
Compassion at the Core
We don’t speak for those affected, we speak with them. People living with Long COVID, chronic illness, and air-related harm are central to our mission. Their insight and courage shape every step we take.
