DASH and CHCS developed the Learning and Action in Policy and Partnerships (LAPP) grant project. As a part of the grant development, we conducted 30 interviews with key thought leaders from federal, state and community organizations and published a report. In this session, we will present the highlights from the thought-leader interview and highlight some of the examples, challenges and opportunities in the mission to improve health, equity and well-being in community. The second half of the session will focus on audience participant questions and experience with state-community partnerships, and how DASH and All In can support further development of this collective area of work.
