At his core Jerry Jones believes that in order for transformation in communities to occur, equity work must be steeped in understanding and rooted in love.

For the past sixteen years, Jerry has worked closely with neighborhood-based organizations, healthcare systems and payors, academic research institutions, and philanthropic organizations to weave together a fabric of strategic partnerships in service of reducing inequities in health outcomes with and for people who have been traditionally excluded from and marginalized by the healthcare system.

As the Vice-President of Innovative Initiatives and Partnerships as part of the Research and Innovation team at Feeding America, Jerry and his team support a network of nearly 200 food banks across the nation by leveraging collaboration across multiple sectors, deploying digital technology to transform the charitable food seeking experience as well as testing models for potential scalability and investments which may catalyze a movement towards health equity.
