individuals to health care and community supports.
Relevant • The enabling implementation strategy is to create a community collaboration hub where
community organizations can efficiently develop collaborative relationships while also receiving
data supports and idea supports.
• This initial work to foster community connections for collaboration will provide an essential
foundation for developing additional initiatives over time.
Time-bound • This first-up objective will be accomplished during Year 1, with quarterly development
objectives.
