Health – A variety of strategies to help people be well are needed ranging from helping to keep people
healthy to helping people cope with chronic diseases well.

working alone” – The Networked Nonprofit, 2008
Role of neutral convener and facilitator - “Health Partners provides a neutral ground for people to be able
to address issues and plan how best to care for people in our community.” Buncombe Community Leader
Looking at whole system –“Coalitions provide a neutral gathering community space, a forum, where
