On May 13, 2021, Nemours Children’s Health System and leaders from population health networks held a discussion on challenges and solutions of launching cross-sector networks, and co-creating a new vision for what healthy, thriving communities look like. Members of Partners for a Healthier Paterson (Paterson, NJ) and Sharswood THRIVE (Philadelphia, PA) joined Nemours for a panel discussion. The presentation focused on three discussion topics, with each topic including examples of how community residents and those the network seeks to serve are being engaged in meaningful, authentic ways.

Participants were able to:

1. Articulate potential challenges and solutions to co-creating a shared vision of health and wellbeing for the community served by the network.

2. Articulate one or more examples of ways networks can embed a focus on health and racial equity into network decision making structures and work flows.

3. Access tools / resources used by presenters to carry out the work they described in the presentation.
