Collective Impact in Action

South Carolina’s Collective Impact in Action

Partners Aligning for Community Health

Over a three-year period, this project funded by The Duke Endowment will identify a statewide strategic direction in addressing health needs and health disparities by:

  • Capturing the voices of those with life experiences through a meaningful collaborative Community Health Needs Assessment process,

  • Aligning and strengthening collaboration between hospitals, community organizations and public health, and

  • Building capacity for data transparency, collective impact and RBA framework.

    The infrastructure for long-term impact in SC will be built through the four-phased approach that will advance over the next three years with the next state health assessment and improvement plan being built in the process.
