Promoting health equity and social justice
through partnerships between communities and academic institutions
Our Work

Partnering
Health equity and social justice cannot be achieved by going it alone. They can only be achieved through collaborative efforts between communities and academic partners.

Training
What good is the knowledge if it is not shared? CCPH’s goal is to share the knowledge that comes up from the community via our Resource Library and during other seminars.

Connecting
Together we can seek to advance health equity and social justice. CCPH organizes in-person convenings and virtual webinars for both CCPH members and non-members.
COVID-19 Initiatives
As COVID-19 spreads amongst communities around the world, CCPH has partnered with various academic institutions to further its mission to promote health equity and social justice.

Welcome from Executive Director Al Richmond
I am fortunate to work in an organization whose core mission is so closely aligned with my personal and professional beliefs. CCPH centers the power of partnerships and then harnesses that power to drive social justice and health equity. I invite you to learn more about us by viewing the website. We ask that you also join us as a personal or institutional member. Your interest and support will allow us to continue the work that we’ve been doing for almost a quarter of a century.
