Making Aligning Work Series

View Brief

Series Description

This series mines the experience of catalysts, researchers, and funders who have been involved with efforts to align the three sectors—health care, public health, and social services—through quarterly interviews (fall 2019 through spring 2021). These interviews with 10 selected experts are anchored around the cross-sector alignment theory of change. Following the structured interviews, participants are invited to a virtual, sense-making teleconference with Georgia Health Policy Center researchers to assess the emerging themes across the 10 conversations.
