training and technical assistance, conducting research, building coalitions, and advocating for supportive policies, we help to ensure that the reality of community engagement and partnership matches the rhetoric. We work with partners whose mission aligns with our vision. Community engagement is the cornerstone of our work to advance health equity and social justice.
