Community-Campus Partnerships for Health’s (CCPH) mission is to promote health equity and social justice through partnerships between communities and academic institutions. CCPH emphasizes partnership approaches to health that focus on changing the conditions and environments in which people live, work, study, pray and play. CCPH seeks to build the capacity of communities and academic institutions to engage each other in partnerships that balance power, share resources, and work towards system changes while ensuring that community-driven social change is central to the work of community-academic partnerships.
