Friday NPCJI webinar: “Building Bridges: Success stories in closing the gap in public health and care systems”
Public health and health care delivery may seem to go hand in hand to the public they exist to serve. But partnerships for the public good often are complicated by a patchwork of elaborate administrative practices, ownership, funding models, and other systemic barriers resulting in less effective results despite a shared mission of serving healthy, thriving communities.

The Common Health Coalition brings together leading health care organizations in pursuit of a reimagined health system — one in which the nation’s health care and public health systems no longer operate in parallel but work hand in hand, with better health for all as the common goal. Health care and public health institutions responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by forging novel, impactful partnerships to support emergency response, data and information sharing, and infectious disease detection. The Common Health Coalition was formed to cement these types of crisis-driven strategies and others into existing infrastructure and strengthen the partnership between the health care and public health systems, particularly to advance health equity.
