We need a strong and dependable health care system, but there are many other factors that will help our communities thrive.
We believe that we can dream big, and that there are untapped resources to help us address the housing crisis, food insecurity, disaster recovery, rural health access, and structural inequities in healthcare and health services. To get there, we need a growing Network of people like you.
Our partner network connects 270+ community organizations, health systems, and social service providers across the North Sound. Together, we break down silos, share resources and learning, and advance shared priorities, building the relationships that make coordinated action possible.
The Collaborative Action Network is open to all individuals and organizations who live and work in the North Sound.
What opportunities are open to Network partners?
Resource Library
North Sound ACH recognizes that resources live in many forms: people, places, traditions, reports, webinars, videos, podcasts, checklists, tools, and more. The Resource Library is designed to make the wisdom, innovations, and best practices that already exist in North Sound accessible, and to link North Sound resources to national frameworks and thought partners. Resources are contributed by library users, and ACH-sponsored events and programs, such as the Network Learning Series and Partner Convenings. In collaboration with the Institute for People, Place, & Possibility and Community Initiatives Network.
Communities of Practice
A North Sound ACH Community of Practice (CoP) serves as an ecosystem platform where members with aligned interests, professions, and fields come together with a shared desire to collaborate and drive collective growth to solve common challenges.
Race & Health Equity Alliance
North Sound ACH is part of the North Sound Race & Health Equity Alliance, a group of healthcare organizations and professionals working to advance health justice and eliminate racial health inequities.
Learning Series
North Sound ACH hosts virtual learning series, bringing the voices of local partners and people, connecting with national experts on the intersections of health, well-being, race, and equity. Out of these sessions, a curated set of resources is building the North Sound Resource Library to help with guided learning.
In-Person Convenings
Since 2018, North Sound ACH has hosted multi-day conferences for partners. Rich learning combined with deep relationship- and skill-building has made the sessions very powerful.
Idea Incubation & Capacity-Building
We believe that you are the experts. In the last few years, Network members have proposed more than 60 project ideas that bring multiple organizations working together, focusing on populations most impacted by inequities and structural barriers. North Sound ACH works to leverage available resources to support those project ideas investing in a sustainable future.
