A community-based approach
to the elimination of health disparities
requires the involvement of the community,
its organizations, residents and institutions.
An effective community-academic partnership
includes relevant community advisory
groups composed of community participants,
forming interconnected networks of community
health |
| providers, key community
institutions (schools, churches, other
organization, etc.), private industry and
consumers. The community partnership resource
consists of several components that serve
to support community outreach, service
and research. To date, service and research
activities include the formation of community
working |
| groups;
grant development, funding opportunities,
health screenings and health fairs,
community health awareness campaigns,
health education, cultural competence
activities and information dissemination.
The community resource works collaboratively
with the other components of the center
and other community groups including
plans to further relationships with
the |
|
 |
| community
provider network and projects with
community centers throughout the southeast. |
