About CCPH
Our Mission
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health’s mission is to promote health equity and social justice through partnerships between communities and academic institutions.
Our Values
- We view health broadly as physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being.
- We emphasize partnership approaches to health that focus on changing the conditions and environments in which people live, work, study, pray and play.
- We believe in the fundamental need for healthier communities and the central role that communities play in their own well-being.
- We believe that creating healthier communities and overcoming complex societal concerns requires collaborative solutions that bring communities and institutions together as equal partners and build upon their assets, strengths and capacities.
- We believe in the power of partnerships to transform communities and institutions.
- We are committed to social justice and strive to model equity and justice in how we approach and carry out our work.
Our History
Established in 1997, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is a nonprofit membership organization that promotes health equity and social justice through partnerships between communities and academic institutions. We view health broadly as physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being and emphasize partnership approaches to health that focus on changing the conditions and environments in which people live, work, study, pray and play.
By mobilizing knowledge, providing training and technical assistance, conducting research, building coalitions and advocating for supportive policies, we help to ensure that the reality of community engagement and partnership matches the rhetoric.
