Explore Successes of AHD Partnerships with the Academic Health Collaborative of Worcester
What are the benefits of partnerships between a health department, a hospital, and multiple academic partners? According to presenters from the Worcester Division of Public Health (MA), the benefits abound. Karyn Clark, Director; Zach Dyer, Deputy Director; and Cassandra Andersen, Manager of Strategic Partnerships, Worcester Division of Public Health, joined the Academic Health Department (AHD) Learning Community for its December 2016 meeting to share the story of the Academic Health Collaborative of Worcester, which fosters collaboration between the Worcester Division of Public Health, UMass Memorial Health Care, and academic partners to improve community health and develop public health research and practice leaders. During their presentation, these speakers touched on a variety of topics relevant to building AHD partnerships, including need for increased capacity, Public Health Accreditation Board accreditation, funding, strategic planning, and future growth. This meeting was archived and can be accessed online for those interested in learning more. Visit Academic Health Collaborative of Worcester to watch the archive or download a copy of the presentation slides, and contact Janelle Nichols at [email protected] with any questions. |

The Guide to Community Preventive Services Launches New Website
The Guide to Community Preventive Services (The Community Guide) has a new website. With enhancements to help you identify, select, and implement credible, evidence-based strategies, the new website provides a dynamic, interactive, and individualized experience. It includes content that changes regularly to reflect new information and current trends, and the search engine makes it easier to find the information you want by letting you filter results. You can now compare two Community Preventive Services Task Force findings using the interactive comparison tool, utilize myGuide to find credible public health content that is relevant to specific areas of interest and communities, and set up a user profile to save your searches and bookmark results. The Council on Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice, through its work in reinforcing the value of evidence-based programs in public health, helped to build the foundation for The Community Guide. Explore all the features of the new Community Guide website at https://www.thecommunityguide.org/. |
