Health Equity in Cross Sector Partnerships.

Description: Public health and community health workers cannot address the social determinants of health alone. Factors like housing, education, employment, access to nutritious food, and more can only be improved through collaboration with partners of the local, state, and federal level along with private sector partnerships. What does it look like when the interests of diverse stakeholders and communities are aligned for the promotion of health equity? In this training, we will go over examples of what these partnerships can look like and how health equity work is strengthened when we work together. Participants will walk away with strategies for addressing health equity with a common language framework and engaging health equity champions to address our communities’ most pressing issue.

  • Define what a cross sector partnership looks like for their work.
