Community Partnership Program Discussion Paper

Assignment Scenario:

You are a healthcare administrator for your nonprofit healthcare system. You oversee one of your system’s facilities and one of your requirements, as a nonprofit, is to demonstrate that your organization meets nonprofit status, which requires different types of activities to occur. One type of activity that a nonprofit healthcare organization may conduct relates to establishing community partnerships. You have been asked to oversee the community partnership program. You will need to create a taskforce for this program and will need to create an interdisciplinary leadership team that will support the various activities of the community partnership program. Your taskforce leaders will be from your healthcare system. You will present your taskforce team information to your organization’s executive leadership team, providing them with insight on the reason for the role selection, information about a special population or several populations, and provide examples about the community partnership program, using the Community Partnership Program: Taskforce Information Template.
