Northwest Community Health Innovation Lab
From August 2023 – May 2024, NWRPCA convened the Northwest Community Health Innovation Lab. The Innovation Lab brought together peers from six CHCs in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington with the goal of exploring and promoting opportunities to reimagine community health through the vital conditions for health and well-being framework. By highlighting shared stewardship, and fostering belonging, trust, and collective decision-making, the six CHCs explored new and innovative approaches to drive systems changes that promote health, well-being and thriving for all individuals and communities.
We are pleased to share this new publication, Community Health Centers: A Primer for Advancing Thriving People and Places, which chronicles our collective experience through the Innovation Lab.
NWRPCA extends our deepest gratitude to our wonderful partners in this project: Community Initiatives Network, The Rippel Foundation, The Institute for People, Place, and Possibility (IP3), and the six northwest area community health centers—Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center (ANHC), Community Health Centers of Lane County, Family Health Centers, Rogue Community Health, Siskiyou Community Health Center and Yakima Neighborhood Health Services—and their staff teams that participated. We also express our thanks and appreciation to the RCHN Community Health Foundation for their partnership and generous financial support for the Northwest Community Health Innovation Lab.
