The Cross-sector Innovation Initiative (CSII) brought together 10 grantee collaborations working to build stronger, sustainable connections to better meet the goals and needs of the people they serve and ultimately improve health equity. Collaborations included representatives from public health, healthcare, social services, and community organizations striving to achieve the same goal. In addition to working in their communities, grantees participated in a Learning Community comprised of multi-sector partnerships working on alignment through innovative practices.<\/p>\n
The goal of this initiative was to support, promote, and disseminate learning about the role of governmental public health departments in aligning efforts across sectors to improve population health.<\/p>\n
Learnings from CSII emphasized what is essential in sustainable cross-sector efforts, the role and value of health departments in cross-sector collaborations, and understanding the unique challenges and opportunities that these collaborations represent for health departments.<\/p>\n
From July through December 2020, CSII grantees, along with the engagement of their communities and partners, have continued working to align sectors and work toward improved population health, well-being, and equity for all. Progress reported from all grantees highlighted the continued effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased focus on racial equity and justice has had on their initiatives. While some work has been delayed and many activities have been shifted, bright spots have emerged as partners continue effective collaboration to improve the health of communities.
