Guiding Principles

Collaborate towards solutions with multiple stakeholders (e.g. schools, worksites, medical centers, public health) to improve community health.
Build trust through collaboration with community members experiencing health disparities.
Prioritize sustainable evidence based efforts around the greatest community good.
