ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

Partnerships for Community Wellness (Partnerships) seeks to create a healthier Staten Island by bringing together partners, stakeholders, and community members to address emerging health needs. Partnerships focuses on Staten Islanders in need, especially those facing health burdens or inequities, to give all community members a chance to thrive. Partnerships has addressed behavioral health issues, chronic disease prevention, and maternal and child wellness for more than two decades. Through its ability to bring diverse partners to the table, Partnerships has enabled data-driven decisions and identified evidence-based strategies to approach complex health issues on Staten Island collectively.

Partnerships provides backbone support to several public health initiatives focusing on the integration of behavioral and physical health across systems.
