Community Health Coalitions
What is a Mississippi State University Extension Service Health Coalition?
A group of people who work and plan together to positively impact specific health issues and meet the following criteria:
- Long Term Goals: Group activity of more than one year.
- Diverse membership: Coalitions are inclusive and members are composed of volunteers who are providers and consumers of health care at the community level. Membership is not a sub-group of another common group, (eg., a Sunday school class, a 4-H club, MHV, company employees) although some members may have other groups in common. The membership may work with other agencies or partnerships to reach their goals. Memberships may be incorporated if monies are involved.
- Active Extension Participation: Has at least one local MSU-Extension Service member who actively participates with regular meeting attendance, leadership functions, and/or assistance with group activities.
