Power-building Partnerships for Health Cohorts

Since 2018, we’ve convened 4 Power-building Partnerships for Health (PPH) cohorts, and provided in-depth Technical Assistance to an additional PPH collaboration. PPH has helped health departments and community power-building organizations develop a deeper understanding of each other’s field, theory of change, and power.

PPH has helped health departments and community power-building organizations (CPBOs) develop a deeper understanding of each other’s field, theory of change, and power. In some partnerships, it has also helped increase and improve community engagement, collaboration, relationship building and trust.

From past community power-building participants:

“PPH helped us think about [the health department] as more strategic partners.” 
“We often separate ourselves and create silos. I love the fact that we’ve been able to clear the bridge and have this opportunity to move forward.”  
“The experience was eye-opening…we didn’t know that [we as] organizers could interact with the health department in this way.”

“The experience was eye-opening…we didn’t know that [we as] organizers could interact with the health department in this way.”

“At the county we are siloed and in general have not realized how much more impactful our work can be when we involve others.”

“Being part of [PPH] has been helpful for me seeing the opportunity to do systems and health equity work”.

“The learning, framing, and work that HIP is bringing has been really helpful and helps frame things in ways that we haven’t had words for… allowing us to look at other possibilities.”
