What role does power and privilege play when designing for the social sector? How does that impact what good design looks like? This webinar and workshop on November 13 served as a wake-up call for designers working to make social change where the risk of doing harm is as likely as the promise of doing good.

This webinar highlights learnings from the first three rapid-cycle research grants awarded by the Georgia Health Policy Center, which leads Aligning Systems for Health. Presenting researchers from Public Health Solutions, Pathways Community HUB Institute, and JSI discuss specific aspects of the Cross-Sector Alignment Framework.

This brief–part of the Aligning Systems for Health’s Making Aligning Work series–focuses on themes emerging from initial conversations around how cross-sector alignment might address systemic racism.

This brief contains preliminary reflections on measuring cross-sector alignment gathered during a recent review of existing collaboration and cross-sector alignment metrics.

This brief highlights how successfully addressing the complex challenges that affect community health — such as COVID-19 and its economic impacts — requires health care, public health, and social services to work together in new ways.

This article examines the need to integrate and align public health, social services, and medical care in the United States through the lens of Thomas Frieden’s “health impact pyramid."

This article explores research showing that cross-sector connections have been slower to develop in rural than urban communities, giving rise to a new and growing form of inequality across the United States.

This article, published by Georgia Health Policy Center researchers in the American Journal of Public Health, highlights how the core components of cross-sector alignment along with the principles of community voice and health equity can be used to design interactions among health care, public health, and social services that better meet the goals and needs of the people and communities they serve in a way that is built to last.
