Community Health Training Institute

 

As our fiscal year wraps up, all of us here at the Community Health Training Institute want to thank you for a fantastic year! Thank you to everyone who attended our trainings, forwarded our newsletters, and supported our project. We appreciate your feedback, consistent attendance, and enthusiasm for the work we do. We take all that you tell us and try to incorporate it into future trainings and events!

We'll be taking this summer to go through your feedback and create a tailored calendar for all of your training needs. Keep an eye out for any updates, but until then, have a great summer and we'll see you in September! 

And as always, thank you to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for its generous funding that ensures all of our trainings are free!
Fiscal Year 2017 Highlights 

We trained nearly 600  coalition members, community members, and others working to promote public health all over the country with our trainings and webinars.
We led 21 trainings and webinars over the course of the year , engaging trainers from 9 local organizations including Massachusetts Municipal Association, Massachusetts Public Health Association, and more!
Our newsletters reached nearly 4,000 people, and this year we shared about 400 trainings and events, job opportunities, and community health resources.

We added 94 coalitions to our roster this year, bringing our total to 405 coalitions. (If you haven't added your coalition or updated it recently, please do so here! )

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is looking for applicants for two different advisory boards: The Community Health Initiative (CHI) Healthy Aging Fund Advisory Committee and the CHI Statewide Initiative Advisory Committee. 

This is a great opportunity for state-wide and regional stakeholders, community members, and public health workers whose work directly impacts or reacts to the Determination of Needs Health Priorities (housing, education, employment, the built environment, violence and trauma, and the socio-cultural environment).

Resumes and letters of expertise are due August 2.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Did your coalition or organization just finish up a CHIP and want to share your findings? Are you doing great community work and want to tell the world? Or are you working on an issue that you feel is important to highlight?

We want to hear about it! Tell us your story and there's a chance you'll be featured on our blog.

Please send any questions or blog entries to kdanckert@hria.org. Thank you!

Contact us for more information about opportunities to grow through training and resources, or if you'd like to submit a resource or event for inclusion in the next update.

Sincerely,

Daisy Ortega, Gina Rodriguez, and Kelly Danckert
