Health In Partnership

Bridging Strategies and Partnerships: HIP fosters relationships and builds trust and strategic collaborations between public health departments and community power-building organizations to advance health equity. In 2024, HIP worked intensively with 4 inspiring partnerships of health departments and community power-building organizations via our Power-Building Partnerships for Health 2024 cohort. We facilitated 16 trainings, workshops, and presentations for public health agencies, community-based organizations, and grassroots organizing groups and provided direct technical assistance and support to agencies and organizations across 7 states.

Capacity building: HIP provides training, technical assistance, and leadership development to support public health organizations and others to take action on health equity. In 2024, HIP facilitated 162 Technical Assistance/Coaching sessions and 21 Community of Practice sessions across multiple public health organizations. We provided 20 trainings to 382 participants across 8 states. We hosted 2 convenings: the Health Equity Awakened Leadership Institute Alumni Reunion with 60+ participants, and the Narratives for Health Strategic Planning Convening with 28 participants representing 12 organizations. We also hosted a webinar for our updated Health Equity Guide that reached nearly 600 participants.

Awareness building: HIP creates and disseminates transformative narratives and communications that shift dominant paradigms about health equity causes and solutions.
