Aligning Systems for Health Research and Practice Convening 2021

View Webinar

This two-day webinar series reviews Aligning Systems for Health’s learnings on cross-sector alignment over the past three years and what their findings mean for the future of the field.

During Day 1, presenters reflected on the aligning journey thus far and took a deep dive into how systems and researchers can more meaningfully engage with people with lived experience.

During Day 2, presenters focused on what it means to engage with community. Field leaders discussed what happened when trust was broken between systems and the community.

Aligning Systems for Health: Health Care + Public Health + Social Services, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and managed by the Georgia Health Policy Center, is focused on learning from stakeholders across the nation about effective ways to align these three sectors to better meet people’s goals and needs.
