Finding Champions and Building Partnerships between CBOs and Healthcare Entities

The National Aging and Disability Business Center, a collaboration of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging and (n4a) and the American Society on Aging (ASA), has an upcoming webinar entitled “Finding Champions and Building Partnerships between CBOs and Healthcare Entities.” This seminar will provide practical strategies that can enable community-based organizations (CBOs) to establish positive working relationships with physician groups, hospitals and health plans.  Engaging champions is likely necessary to form relationships, move a relationship to a pilot or ongoing contract, and ensure the program’s success after the contract has been signed.  The webinar will provide CBOs with typical sources of resistance and successful strategies to combat it, based on the presenters’ successful efforts.
