Description:

The overall vitality of a community and the health of its residents are intrinsically linked. And though community development organizations nationally invest nearly $400 billion into low-income communities every year, too often the work of this non-profit sector and the opportunity for these substantial financial resources to address important neighborhood-level social determinants of health – are not well understood by healthcare leaders. In this session, we will learn about the scale and scope of the community development sector and explore examples of successful and innovative partnerships with healthcare that accelerate and maximize the impact of these dollars in reducing poverty, increasing equity, and improving population health.

Objectives:

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the work and organizations that comprise the community development sector as well as its financial resources and tools for neighborhood investment
2. Describe how healthcare organizations can partner with community development to support and accelerate place-based investments that make communities healthier and more opportunity-rich
3. Identify examples of successful health & community development collaboration and obtain tools and resources to initiate similar efforts in your own community
