摘要：1In working to improve community health, health care organizations are obliged to consider partnering with other entities, which is not always a comfortable pursuit. Reaching out to competitors or other organizations in the community can be difficult to contemplate, much less do. But as CHA's Julie Trocchio and Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM, point out on page 28 of their article in this issue, "We know that working with community partners to change conditions that contribute to vulnerability can get at the root cause of many serious health problems.
