Multi-sector Community Stakeholder Engagement

This program engages a range of key community stakeholders including those from Durham City and County Government, Public Health, Commerce, Justice, Safety and Social Services, and the Arts to advance shared missions around community and population health. Leaders meet quarterly to discuss ongoing local and regional initiatives, addressing common goals and establishing common agendas that can work synergistically to improve health. Through an annual Health Summit, groups from all sectors gather to establish annual priorities to partner and address health priorities.

Key initiatives of the Multi-sector Community Stakeholder Engagement Program:

  • Model Principles of Community Engagement
  • Resolutions with Community Sectors
  • Healthy Durham Steering Committee (County Manager, Public Health Director, Mayor’s Office, Chamber of Commerce, Duke Board, other Health System Leaders)
  • Chancellor’s Community Health Advisory Board
