Research has demonstrated that achieving health and wellness goals depends upon a strong community network of partners working together to address the social determinants of health. For example, individuals who lack access to reliable or safe transportation are less likely to make follow-up appointments with care providers. This module explores strategies for identifying community partners – both public and private sector organizations – in order to meet the needs of clients. Opportunities for developing and achieving mutually beneficial partnership goals will be described, including examples of successful partnerships. It concludes with a discussion regarding the use of joint taskforces to develop resources that benefit clients.
