Community Partnerships & Engagements
Establishing strong partnerships to connect patients to essential resources and engage communities in setting shared health aims
Progress through Collaboration
The Health Leads Network was created to bring action-oriented practitioners together to collaborate, share and learn from each other. Together, we’ll translate critical front-line experience into tangible tools, guidance and learning opportunities — all designed to support you in advancing the integration of essential needs into community-led health initiatives. Read our welcome message and check out the Network Overview to learn more about how we work and learn together.
Strength in Community
The Health Leads Network is a community of healthcare practitioners and caregivers who are taking action to address essential needs within their organizations. They work in a wide range of health system roles and settings — but share a commitment to drive improvement initiatives on the ground and advance health equity in their communities.
The Network promotes collective learning by sharing promising practices gathered through on-the-ground engagements across the country. Members contribute practical knowledge and expertise, participate in collaborative learning and insight development, and access new ideas and approaches through a growing library of tools and resources.
