“Accountable Communities of/for Health: Growing evidence for multisector collaboratives as vehicles for advancing equity and improving community health”

10:30 am – 12:00 pm EST, Tuesday, November 8, 2022
Speakers: Peter Forberg, MA and Stephanie Bultema, PhD

Nearly a decade ago, the first Accountable Communities of/for Health (ACHs) were designed to help communities implement population health strategies; they are neutral conveners connecting the health care delivery system and local communities. This panel, co-moderated in part by PHI’s Population Health Innovation Lab, will explore these issues through the experiences of ACHs in Washington and California; learnings from a systems change evaluation of California ACHs and a cross-state research project that explores what makes for a successful ACH; and the perspective of a national funder of systems change and multisector partnerships. The session is part of the Public Health Funders Network. Learn more.
