Charting the Future of Community Health Promotion: Facilitating the National Expert Panel on Community Health Promotion
In March of 2006, the Institute for Alternative Futures facilitated 25 people representing various health care sectors and broad areas of public health and community expertise. Those invited to the 2-day meeting included experts on community-based participatory research, local community-based practice, aging, and mental health; leaders from community-based and nonprofit organizations; and state and local health department representatives. IAF was responsible for designing the interactive and creative meeting to lead the panel in developing a set of actionable recommendations. You can view the recommendations from the panel here.
