Collective Impact Strategies to engage partners from other sectors in this work and weave the
Developmental Screening messaging into all the work we do as a Coalition.
We are proud of the new partnerships formed with our local Pediatricians,
Healthcare Systems, State Agencies and Universities
The most valuable tools / resources are the relationships with our partners. They give us access to the population they serve and collaborate with us to create tools to reach
families in a meaningful way.
We can always benefit from other teams sharing best practices
Thank you
We are excited to see how the newly formed relationship with WIC goes and are wondering if we might be able expand our partnership efforts with other State Agencies.
Thank you!
