Health Partnerships and Community Collaboration
Health partnerships and community collaboration are the hallmark of the Partnership for Better Health. Only together will we achieve the goal of ensuring a healthy community. Therefore, the foundation leads a variety of health partnerships and supports collaborations led by various local groups.
