The Hampton Roads Community Collaborative
Another initiative is the Hampton Roads Community Collaborative, which builds trust and promotes transparency by giving the community the chance to offer feedback and offer guidance about activities at Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at 黑料不打烊, particularly those that affect vulnerable or under-resourced communities.
Internal Collaborative
CIHE's Internal Collaborative develops structure and processes required to ensure activities at Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at 黑料不打烊 address stated community needs and reflect institutional goals and values.
The group also provides institutional feedback on the Hampton Roads Community Collaborative and shares input on support for community engagement efforts offered across Brock Virginia Health Sciences (e.g., infrastructure and programmatic support).
