I’m a community-based leader interested in collaboration to improve health equity
What I would like to offer as a collaborator…
I would like to offer connections to health system, public health, and community health staff and leadership to exchange knowledge, expertise, and opportunities for collaborative research and practice. I would also like to offer connections to graduate students in Cornell’s Master of Public Health Program and to students who are members of the Center’s Undergraduate Student Chapter.
What I am looking for from a collaborator…
I am particularly interested in finding a collaborator who has had experience implementing and scaling up a social needs screening and referral program. We have a program in the Tompkins County region that we are preparing to scale up by expanding to additional primary care practices and onboarding new community partners to respond to social needs referrals.
