Engaging Community and Volunteer Partnerships for Health Equity and Experience

Through Arkansas Children’s Hospital’s (ACH) 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), implementation strategies were identified to prioritize and plan for evidence-based solutions to address top health needs for children across the state of Arkansas. In this presentation, participants will learn to implement programming that engages community partners and volunteers in strategic ways to impact health, health equity and patient experience. Recommendations will be made of how ACH has partnered effectively with other organizations and with communities to make children healthier tomorrow.
