Partner Equanimity Role of community members
as the stewards of the partnership
Role of defining power and expertise
Decision making authority of State Panel in legislation
Funding tied to functioning of the partnership i.e.school and community money in same allocation
![Page 11: Partnerships: Successes, Challenges and Strategies The Power of Local Communities to Impact Health Care Workforce Hilda R. Heady, Executive Director West](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d235503460f949f964e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Partnerships Respond to Community Needs
•Higher Education mission is one of social responsibility•A social contract with the people of the state•Decision making is not just shared it is synergistic•Releasing power creates more power•The pie gets larger and is seen as a whole instead of various sized slices
![Page 12: Partnerships: Successes, Challenges and Strategies The Power of Local Communities to Impact Health Care Workforce Hilda R. Heady, Executive Director West](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d235503460f949f964e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why Does it work?
Schools had an “intensely reflective experience No one partner group is solely responsible for
outcomes Successes and challenges are shared Communities know best what they need and
what kind of practitioners they want Synergy of partnership is meeting in the middle
![Page 13: Partnerships: Successes, Challenges and Strategies The Power of Local Communities to Impact Health Care Workforce Hilda R. Heady, Executive Director West](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d235503460f949f964e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How Does it Work? Students and residents see a true picture of
rural health care Curriculum engages students in ways to learn
community values Students are invited to see their educations as a
way back in instead of a way out Community shows respect for students and
involves them in all areas of community life
