HANYS Releases 2009 Community Health Initiatives Profiles

HANYS has released its twelfth edition of Connecting with Communities: Community Health Initiatives Across New York State. It features more than 50 community health initiatives that HANYS’ members identified in nominations for HANYS’ 2009 Community Health Improvement Award. These nominations highlight the innovation, collaboration, and great strides members make for their communities in outreach, education, and prevention programming. This publication highlights goals, partners, outcomes, lessons learned, and sustainability strategies for each community health initiative.

Connecting with Communities: Community Health Initiatives Across New York State is featured on HANYS’ Web site so that others can learn from the unique and successful collaborations included in this publication.

HANYS is proud of its members and the multitude of health care services and other benefits they provide to their communities. In addition to being care providers, they are educators, employers, and advocates for the people who live and work within their communities. They provide acute and continuing health care, and are a critical resource for preventive care, education, and outreach programs. Contact: Sue Ellen Wagner
