Today’s local health departments face unprecedented community health challenges. At the same time, many organizations find themselves moving away from a traditional clinical service model to one that focuses more on cross-sector, upstream interventions.
To adapt to these changes, many teams are searching for ways to strengthen their community partnerships and develop long-term planning strategies with them. The Time to Transform toolkit offers a path toward this transformation. With a four-step framework, the toolkit guides teams through the iterative process of organizational change.
