Join Build Healthy Places Network (BHPN) and the Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP) for a practical, candid Network Commons conversation on how community development organizations and health plans can build meaningful, long-lasting partnerships that put communities in the lead.

This webinar builds on Where Health Meets Place: A Guide to Community-Driven Health Plan and Community Development Collaboration, which offers case studies, practical frameworks, and tools for moving from one-off projects to sustained, community-led investment. We’ll bring those case studies to life by hosting a health plan and a community developer featured in the guide. 

They’ll share a behind-the-scenes look at their partnership, including:

  • Building Cross-Sector Partnerships: What brought them together and how they identified shared goals across health and community development.
  • Cultivating Trust and Shared Vision: How they built a strong foundation for collaboration and sustained their partnership.
  • Aligning Resources for Community Impact: How they brought together resources and expertise to advance community priorities.
  • Advancing Community-Led Change: How they centered community priorities in their partnership and worked toward lasting investment.
