F15 - evolve Public Health: Accelerating Local Health Department Collaborations with Health Systems and the Community

Wednesday, July 11
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Location: Salon D

The Virginia Department of Health, in collaboration with the Medical Society of Virginia Foundation and Community Health Solutions, developed evolve Public Health, an action learning program designed to help public health professionals apply collaborative leadership skills to build clinical-community partnerships to create effective care models. Most population health requests for proposal require cross-sector collaboration, and most local health departments are still striving to meet the aspirations of Public Health 3.0. Many stakeholders, including public health officials, health systems, and community-based organizations, lack experience and expertise in building and working in multi-stakeholder collaborations, which is critical for project success.This session will describe a model for state and local health departments to develop a learning action collaborative; identify specific resources used successfully to accelerate clinical-community collaborations in Virginia; and provide a venue for participants to share their successes and pitfalls in building clinical community partnerships.
