This presentation is part of the We Are Stronger Together: Creative Coalitions to Promote Walking and Walkability session.
What began as a voluntary meeting of the minds of a diverse group of stakeholders to address the rising incidence of chronic disease on Long Island has morphed into a dynamic coalition of some 60 plus organizations – from hospitals, health departments, health plans, academic institutions to community-based organizations and businesses. With walking as a foundation and a unifying activity, learn how this collaborative keeps its feet moving and its focus on improving the health of community members relevant and real.
Presenters:
- Janine Logan, Senior Director, Communications and Population Health, Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council/Long Island Health Collaborative
- Kim Whitehead, Communications Coordinator, Long Island Population Health Improvement Program/Long Island Health Collaborative
