Going Beyond Clinical Walls
This series was designed to support conversations that identify problems and opportunities, develop a shared vision for connections with community partners, and build practical next steps. The focus of the series includes:
- Engaging health care audiences to examine the benefits and possibilities of connecting with the community for solving complex problems;
- Identifying examples of current and potentially-available community resources;
- Sharing knowledge, using data and exploring mutual goals as a way to build common ground with community partners; and
- Exploring how health care leadership, including CEOs and boards of trustees, view the strategic and business reasons to engage with community partners.
