How we help you build community

Community Health Needs Assessments 

Your community is a sum of the lived experiences of its residents. Combining expertise in statistical data analytics with community-based participatory research, we develop a vivid portrayal of your community, its people, its strengths, and its challenges. We detail the impact of social drivers of health, and illuminate underlying inequities to create a shared foundation on which to build progress toward health equity. 

Community Health Improvement Plans

Without a comprehensive plan for achieving your goals, success cannot be quantified or duplicated. We clearly connect data findings to measurable objectives and place-based strategies to guide your efforts and investments. Incorporating waypoints for evaluation, outputs and outcomes are tracked to facilitate real-time adjustments. Roles, accountabilities, and anticipated outcomes are defined with stakeholders to foster collective impact.  

Community Engagement 

Developing people-centered services requires a deep understanding of the beliefs, challenges, and hopes of your community members. We help you strengthen existing partnerships and build new relationships that foster meaningful dialogue with your community. Co-developing solutions that reflect stakeholders' recommendations for change cultivates trust and develops practical strategies to community challenges.

Focus Groups 

Intimate conversations with small groups that share a common experience provide meaningful insights into the nuances of individual perspectives and attitudes. Meeting people where they live and holding conversations in convenient and trusted places creates a safe space to share experiences and express aspirations for change.  

Stakeholder Surveys 

Surveys are valuable to quantify experiences of large and diverse groups of people. Using tested tools and dissemination practices, we ensure your results reflect diverse experiences. We bring expertise in survey design, statistical sampling, pulse surveying,  e-surveys, onsite data collection, and 

multi-language translation. 

Program and Process Evaluation 

Understanding if your efforts are having the intended impact is essential to sustainable change. Taking a 360 degree view of your program, we interview program participants, administrators, staff, and partners to collect feedback on successes and opportunities to improve your services. We collect essential data to help you determine ROI and seek future funding. 

Strategic Planning 

Transforming information into practical application and action steps is essential to supporting your vision for the future. By understanding not only where you want to go, but where you have been, we develop a practical plan that leverages your expertise and existing community assets. We’ll guide you in crafting measurable objectives, defining key milestones, inspiring buy-in, and sustaining accountability from the people you’ll rely on to achieve your goals.

Grant Writing and Research Support 

Sustaining change requires resources. Garnering support lies in translating your vision into quantifiable achievements that align with your investors’ own aspirations. Using our expertise in quantitative and qualitative data collection, planning, and program evaluation, we tell your story through compelling examples and reliable data.
