Over the past 15+ years, there have been hundreds (if not thousands) of Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs), Community Health Assessments (CHAs) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) done in the United States. These CHNAs, CHAs and CHIPs are the foundation of efforts to improve community health, reduce disparities, and otherwise enhance the well-being of our communities, states, and nation. The stronger the foundation, the greater the likelihood of achieving the aspirations of these plans and the community members who create them.
This workshop is based on the premise that it is important to examine and improve how these CHNAs, CHAs and CHIPs are done and how they can be better integrated with the numerous other assessments that are being done by other organizations in the same communities. It explores some of the most promising techniques and examples of how to significantly improve how CHNAs, CHAs and CHIPs can be done so that they support major improvements in addressing the social determinants of health as well as coordinated, pro-active care. The workshop will demonstrate upgrades to common practices that bring many community partners together, across sectors, to co-create and implement robust, multi-faceted strategies to improve the well-being of community members.
The workshop also serves to launch a new Population Health Learning Collaborative.

We've updated the dates for the Workshop to be March 7-8. 2019. There is so much exciting material coming together. This link is to a recording of an opening keynote address that I delivered for a statewide Collective Impact event in Arkansas last year. https://vimeo.com/226171294
I don't think we'll have time to fit this content into our workshop, so I'm putting the link here as a sneak preview of the type of inspiring content that you'll get from the Population Health Learning Collaborative. The workshop and learning community will focus more on practical examples, but we'll be sharing a lot of much-needed inspiration, too. Check it out and leave more comments. Also, we now have the .org domain, so the preferred link to learn about the workshop is www.ImprovePopHealth.org;
