Welcome from the Leadership

Welcome! The mission of the Department of Medicine's Community Partnership Program (DoM CPP) is to advance health and health equity in our local community through developing, coordinating, and sustaining partnerships between community organizations and the Department of Medicine and the broader School of Medicine.

Our program launched in 2022 to elevate and coordinate the mission of health equity by supporting community engagement across all 14 divisions in the DoM. It builds off the passion of diverse faculty endeavors in this space, and five years of foundational efforts within the Primary Care and Population Health division to develop intentional, respectful and sustainable partnerships with our local community health centers. We aim for a broad range of collaboration and partnerships, to build mutual benefit and exchange across the pillars of clinical care, education, and research.

We believe that building bridges between our academic institution and local community health organizations is key to health equity. We work in close alliance with our DoM’s Diversity and Inclusion team to ensure efforts to promote equity are reflected both internally and externally.

We seek to create many paths to community engagement. Whether you are a community member, a community-based organization, a current faculty, staff or trainee looking to collaborate, we invite you to explore with us how we can best work together to build mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources to improve local community health and health equity.

Sincerely,
