Description
An ad hoc committee will plan and convene a 1-day public workshop that will explore the key elements needed to create and maintain innovative and sustainable approaches to multisector community health partnerships (e.g., community residents as well as staff from government, nonprofit, and business sectors). The workshop may include presentations on and discussion of: how to create and support partnerships that genuinely and equitably engage residents; the role of independent coordinating organizations and partners; sources of financing for building and maintaining partnerships and improved health and well-being; the skills necessary for authentic and effective organizational leadership; the role of local, state, and federal governments in supporting these collaborations; examples of the different approaches to improving health outcomes in rural and urban settings; and the ways such partnerships influence change in community health outcomes over time. A proceedings and a proceedings in brief of the presentations and discussion at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
