Community partnerships
The Community-Engaged Research Program partners with communities to improve patient care and health for all people. The program fosters effective long-term community partnerships.
These are highlights from this collaborative research across all Mayo Clinic locations:
- Rochester Healthy Community Partnership. Mayo researchers and community members are working together to reduce health disparities among underserved populations in Minnesota.
- Fostering African American Improvement in Total Health (FAITH!). This program partners with churches to create programs to promote health in underserved communities.
- Hispanic Outreach and Patient Engagement en Español (HOPE2). This program uses a faith-driven model to address community-identified health concerns among underserved communities in Northeast Florida.
- Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 Disparities. This National Institutes of Health-funded program promotes inclusive research addressing health and the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayo Clinic is involved in active research partnerships in Arizona and Florida.
- Chronic Disease Reduction and Engagement Across Minnesota (C2Dream). C2Dream is a partnership between Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute. C2Dream seeks to reduce differences in cardiovascular diseases and the related chronic conditions of hypertension and obesity experienced by people across Minnesota.
