Posted by Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) on October 17, 2023

Established in 1997, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is a nonprofit membership organization promoting health equity and social justice through partnerships between communities and academic institutions. We view health broadly as physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being and emphasize partnership approaches that focus on changing the conditions and environments in which people live, work, study, pray, and play. We collaborate with partners whose mission aligns with our vision. By mobilizing knowledge, providing training and technical assistance, conducting research, building coalitions, and advocating for supportive policies, we help ensure the reality of community engagement and partnership matches the rhetoric.
