Examples:

Other local organizations share this vision, and Salem Health is teaming up with several of these groups through its Community Partnership Grant program.
Salem Health introduced the Community Partnership Grant program in Oct. 2014, in conjunction with the fifth anniversary of the Community Health Education Center. Funding is provided to encourage collaborative and innovative engagement among community agencies that share a common vision for better health.
After conducting a community needs assessment during 2014, the Community Benefits Committee selected three areas for the grants to focus on: diabetes education and prevention, mental health, and transportation (for medical needs). Four projects were selected with a total of $168,477:
Healthy communities are a team project, and it is a privilege for Salem Health to partner with these like-minded organizations.
Salem Health is comprised of Salem Hospital, West Valley Hospital, Willamette Health Partners and other affiliated health care organizations offering exceptional care to people in and around Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley.
