Aligning Systems for Health
Project Overview
Aligning Systems for Health, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and under the direction of Karen Minyard and Glenn Landers at the Georgia Health Policy Center, focuses on identifying, testing, and sharing what works to align health care, public health, and social services to better address the goals and needs of the people and communities they serve. The project will:
