Cross-Sector Alignment: Built to Last Virtual Series Report

This report summarizes the three Built to Last virtual sessions: Why Cross-Sector Alignment Matters: Real Life Stories, Pixels: Learning from Each Other, and Cross-Sector Alignment Theory of Change Charette.

Cross-Sector Alignment: Built to Last was intended to be the national kick-off meeting for Aligning Systems for Health, scheduled for April 21-22 in Baltimore, Md.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person national meeting was rapidly reassembled into a series of video introductions by Anne Weiss, managing director of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Karen Minyard, chief executive officer of the Georgia Health Policy Center and principal investigator of Aligning Systems for Health, followed by three monthly virtual convenings.

These virtual sessions retained the original purpose of launching Aligning Systems for Health, engaging in meaningful learning, building connections across stakeholders, and exploring what it means to align health care, public health, and social services.
