“Care Share Health Alliance has helped collaborative cottage grove through technical assistance, being an ear to listen to when we are exasperated by the challenges that we are experiencing as we are addressing the issues in our community. They’ve been a shoulder to lean on, they’ve been a supporter of our work and an influencer in meetings when we are trying to share and advocate for the changes that our community members want to see happen. They’ve been a long supporter regarding community centered health. They have an almost innate or intuitive understanding that when we’re talking about addressing social determinants of health, they understand we have to address it at the root.”

“We started working with Care Share because of their trusted expertise in facilitating community groups, and our collaboration has grown and deepened since then. They are a trusted partner across the state with both community groups and organizational partners. Our Care Share partnership brings valuable guidance on models from the clinical and public health sectors, connecting the work of food systems to the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities We have also found that our alignment on work coming from an equity perspective, being grounded in community voice, and looking for systems-level change opportunities make us strong partners pushing one another to do better work both individually and together. I look forward to continuing our collaboration and am always interested in what innovative work might lie ahead at the intersection of our projects.”
