Our Philosophy

We believe you cannot achieve health and equity without both community and academic partners at the table. Sharing power and recognizing each partner’s unique contribution and expertise are keystones to equitable partnerships. You then must establish a mutual agenda to accomplish your respective missions and lay out clear expectations and codes of conduct to navigate the long path to a strong, sustainable partnership. We’re here to help with that.
