Community Health Partnership Workshops
In September 2018, HERC hosted their second Community Health Partnership workshop. Research that had received funding from HERC was presented during the first session of the workshop. The primary focus of the second session was to hear from community organizations on what barriers and obstacles are seen daily and how a partnership between their organizations and HERC could lead to insightful research.
Representatives from the following organizations participated in HERC’s second Community Partnership Workshop:
- Wargro Foundation
- Neighborcare Health
- Spokane Regional Health District
- Pullman Regional Hospital
- Northwest Regional Primary Care Association
- Columbia Valley Community Health
- Sea-Mar Community Health Centers
