CCIH

Community Health Working Group

Co-Chairs: Connie Gates (Connie@jamkhed.org), Nick Henwood (nickh@chgn.org), Bram Bailey (also Board Liaison, Bram_Bailey@usn.salvationarmy.org)

The goal of this WG is to be a forum for people interested in faith-based aspects of community-based primary health care (CBPHC). Proposed activities include joining and participating in the Community Health Global Network (CHGN – a CCIH member organization, http://www.communityhealthglobal.net) and developing a track for the CCIH Annual Conference, as well as other activities which will capitalize on and promote the renewed interest in CBPHC following the 30th anniversary of the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration.
