Improving health equity
Our Healthy Community (OHC) creates healthier communities through equitable partnerships.
Our Healthy Community (OHC) is a world-class, culturally appropriate web-based collaborative space for underserved faith and community-based organizations to drive equitable partnerships.
We shorten the distance between trusted community organizations, community members, and the healthcare industry to create an ecosystem where health equity can consistently improve.
By creating equitable partnerships between these groups we empower the community, reduce health disparities, improve health outcomes, and encourage collaboration.
We drive equitable partnerships between CBOs and:
Community members
Healthcare stakeholders
Government agencies
Academic institutions
OHC is powerful and culturally appropriate outreach and engagement for underserved communities.
Connecting the dots
OHC is community-first — an effort built for the community by the community! We address the obstacles of health equity by creating a collaborative ecosystem for cooperation and action.
Why
Faith and community-based organizations (CBOs) are trusted by their community members.
Linking them into a national CBO network constructs a culturally appropriate model for crafting community-based approaches that improve health equity.
What
The OHC platform links CBOs locally, regionally, and nationally, and enables them to reach more community members.
Our best-in-class technology helps our CBOs to exchange ideas, combine data, share experiences, and engage community.
How
No matter their location, all of our CBOs are connected and offered a variety of resources to strengthen them.
The OHC team works directly with them to empower them, help them connect with each other, and more effectively engage community.
