New Name for Marshfield Clinic's Center for Community Outreach
Friday, April 13th, 2018 -- 8:01 AM
-Marshfield Clinic and Family Health Center of Marshfield, Inc., recognized several decades ago that improving a community’s health meant more than patient-doctor visits so the Center for Community Outreach was created to address those needs.CCO partnered with coalitions, businesses and other organizations to promote quality of life and reduce the incidence of lifestyle-related disease. Over time, CCO’s reach and responsibilities broadened and now, to better reflect this growth, its name has been changed to Center for Community Health Advancement. Moving forward, CCHA has identified three key community health priorities for the system as a result of extensive data analysis.
This involved over 50 key informant interviews with local, regional and statewide partners and internal key stakeholders; interviews with MCHS subject matter experts; and review of current programs and initiatives. CCHA is under the auspices of Community Health & Wellness, which also includes all community health and community benefit staff from throughout MCHS.
