What is the Clarkston Health Collaborative?
The Clarkston Health Collaborative is a forum for interested community members to network and discuss issues such as housing, transportation, police relations, medical availability, race relations, cultural issues etc.
The Clarkston Health Collaborative (CHC) is a community-based entity comprised of private citizens, business owners, agencies in Clarkston, healthcare providers, and representatives from the DeKalb Board of Health and the Atlanta Regional Commission.
It’s all about connecting and communication
Clarkston Health Collaborative
The CHC catalyzes communication and promotes joint work throughout the Clarkston Community. It was formed in an effort to break down barriers that prevent the community from reaching its full potential. The health collaborative seeks to identify initiatives and prepare specific action plans to carry out those initiatives. Through the collaborative, the people of Clarkston and the agencies working with them are creating new associations and attempting to change systems and institutions that support the development of a healthy community.
The mission of the Clarkston Health Collaborative is to establish a platform for community development in order to facilitate meaningful dialogue among diverse individuals and groups so that they may effectively pursue their interests and talents in creating the conditions that foster healthy people in healthy communities. The Clarkston we envision is a vibrant sustainable community where empowered people reach their full potential for health and well being.
