Community Engagement
At the Center for Healthy Communities, we believe that lasting impact comes from building long-term, reciprocal partnerships grounded in mutual respect and shared goals. Our approach to community engagement centers on collaboration—working alongside community members, organizations, and stakeholders to co-create solutions that truly serve local needs.
We are committed to:
- Developing enduring partnerships that foster trust and collective action to support the health and well-being of our communities.
- Supporting inclusive outreach efforts that ensure all voices, especially those historically underrepresented or marginalized, are heard and valued.
- Transforming academic resources into tangible community benefits by integrating community wisdom and lived experience into our programs, research, and services.
- Creating institutional awareness within our university, so that community insights and priorities inform our strategic direction.
By bridging the strengths of academia with the knowledge and expertise of the community, we strive to empower individuals and organizations to achieve sustainable, equitable health outcomes.
