About This Learning Collaborative:
This learning collaborative from NCHPH and NNCC will guide health center staff through practical steps to help build value and return on investment in their current health center and housing authority partnerships. The learning collaborative will consist of four modules that discuss strategies, case studies, and promising practices to increase the impact of partnership activities, ultimately improving the health and social outcomes for residents of public housing. The modules will discuss how to optimize the health center workforce and resources, evaluate existing and developing partnerships, and measure and improve their impact.
