Achievements of the Grand River Conservation Authority, Ontario, Canada.

Winning the 2000 International River prize resulted from a significant investment by the community of Ontario over a long period of time in the Grand River Conservation Authority, GRCA. Innovative partnerships with the business community, government, universities, First Nations tribes, environment groups and the general community have been the hallmark of a broad-based river management program that has returned the Grand River to a healthy environment and usable resource. Recognising this, the Grand River received special recognition from the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board--as a designated Heritage River. Not content with the achievements of the past, the GRCA has turned its attention to the future needs of this river system and to increasing the depth and breadth of community partnerships.

Responding to a crisis: a stakeholder analysis of community health organizations.

On May 11, 2001, the Bureau of Primary Health Care notified West Alabama Health Services, doing business as Family HealthCare of Alabama, that it was terminating $6 million in grants due to non-compliance and amid allegations of financial mismanagement and fraud. West Alabama Health Services, a not-for-profit organization, operated 19 community health centers that provided preventive and primary care services for 17 counties in Alabama. This disruption of health services engendered considerable stakeholder debate. Within this context, the authors examine how a small, newly established rural health center and a well-established, federally qualified community health center responded to this crisis. The authors use a stakeholder analysis framework to highlight how key relationships with stakeholders may change with the perceived credibility of the organizational leaders and the legitimacy of their actions.

Churches, academic institutions, and public health: partnerships to eliminate health disparities.

The four principles represent a framework for improving the process of establishing sustainable partnerships between research, public health, and faith-based institutions that seek to eliminate health disparities. To improve the efficacy of partnerships with churches identification of potential partner churches must be deliberate, trusting relationships must be built, divergent perspectives must be communicated and reconciled, and some tangible power should be transferred to church and community leaders where feasible. We applaud the National Institutes of Health, through the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities', efforts to "promote coordination and collaboration among the agencies conducting or supporting minority health or other health disparities research." We recommend that the North Carolina Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities be charged with and provided adequate resources to facilitate this type of coordination and collaboration among North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services agencies that are disparities conducting or supporting minority health and health research. A special emphasis should be placed on partnerships that seek to engage communities of faith.

A dental school and a bank: partnership for community service.

The University of California Los Angeles School of Dentistry/Nara Bank, a public-private partnership, is a model of collaboration between an academic institution and the private finance world. At the outset, none of those involved anticipated these diverse entities would have common ground. But through a series of open and frank discussions, the leadership of the School of Dentistry and Nara Bank identified business opportunities that are not only mutually beneficial, but also central to their respective core values of providing community service. To date, this partnership has generated a commitment from Nara Bank to provide funding and facilities support for community-based health fairs, the creation of a patient care fund, and practice loans for recent graduates who commit to practicing in underserved areas. The concept of a public-private partnership of dissimilar business entities offers the possibility of a new means of support for dental schools.

Why media relations matter.

There is a common misperception that only medium- and large-cap biotechs need to understand and interact with the media. As investor demands increase and partnering dynamics evolve, startups need to understand the art of media relations more now than ever before.

Civil society and the state: Turkey after the earthquake.

On 17 August 1999 Turkey was hit by a massive earthquake. Over 17,000 lives were lost and there was extensive damage to Turkey's heartland. This paper examines how various public and private institutions, including state and civil society institutions such as NGOs and the media responded to the needs of earthquake survivors. It documents the extensive involvement of NGOs in the relief efforts immediately after the disaster and examines the impact of such participation on state-civil society relations in the country. The data show that state response to the disaster went through several phases from a period of ineptitude to effective management. The paper credits the media and the NGOs for acting as advocates for survivors and forcing changes at the state level. The paper argues that an ideal response system, which fully addresses the needs of victims, can only be based on state-civil society relations that are both collaborative and adversarial.

The school community council: creating an environment for student success.

A model of community-school partnerships is developing within a school district in Evansville, Indiana. Based on a full-service community school philosophy, the model started in one elementary school in the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation and has expanded into a districtwide initiative called the School Community Council. The council is made up of over seventy community organizations and social service agencies working together to establish full-service schools as places of community and to enhance youth and family development.

Procedures for ensuring community involvement in multijurisdictional river basins: a comparison of the Murray-Darling and Mekong river basins.

Community involvement is fundamental to the management of multijurisdictional river basins but, in practice, is very difficult to achieve. The Murray-Darling basin, in Australia, and the Mekong River basin in Southeast Asia are both cooperatively managed multijurisdictional river basins where the management authorities have expressed an aim of community involvement. In the Murray-Darling basin vigorous efforts have promoted a culture of community consultation throughout each of the state jurisdictions involved, although true participation has not necessarily been achieved. In the Mekong basin the community is much more diverse and the successes so far have been largely at the local level, involving action in subsections of the basin. These case studies suggest that community involvement in the form of community consultation across large multijurisdictional river basins is achievable, but more comprehensive participation is not necessarily possible.

Use of a university-community collaboration model to frame issues and set an agenda for strengthening a community.

As severe social problems persist, analysts from various sectors suggest that policies and programs should increase their sensitivity and effectiveness through collaborations among universities, communities, and political officials. A model of collaboration is presented, and the nature and importance of such collaborations are examined. The benefits, challenges, and roles of the three collaboration partners (university, community, and government) and the three stages of the collaboration process (initiation, deliberation, and implementation) are discussed in the context of a real-world application. Recommendations for future applications are presented.

A blueprint for linking academic oncology and the community.

The processes by which academic medicine will train the next generation of physicians and develop new knowledge have brought to the forefront the relationship between academic medical centers and community hospitals and practitioners. Over the past thirteen years, the Harvard Medical School Joint Center for Radiation Therapy (JCRT) has developed an integrated radiation oncology program designed to serve simultaneously the needs of the community, teaching hospitals, medical schools, and faculty. The structure and function of this program are described here, as are the challenges posed by the highly competitive health care marketplace. We believe that long-term vision should guide short-term goals. The success of academic-community collaborative programs depends not only on the good will and vision of the participants but also on the medical administration, academic leadership, policy makers, and politicians who define the principles and rules by which cooperation within the health care industry occurs.

Alternative mental health services: the role of the black church in the South.

OBJECTIVES: This study determined the extent to which churches in the South were providing mental health and social services to congregations and had established linkages with formal systems of care. METHODS: A computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) survey was conducted with pastors from 269 Southern churches. RESULTS: Black churches reported providing many more services than did White churches, regardless of urban or rural location. Few links between churches and formal provider systems were found, irrespective of the location--urban or rural--or racial composition of the churches. CONCLUSIONS: Results are discussed in terms of the potential for linking faith communities and formal systems of care, given the centrality of the Black church in historical context.

Transitional funding: changing Ontario's global budgeting system.

In 1988, Ontario introduced transitional funding, a collaborative process between the Ministry of Health and the hospitals to modify Ontario's global budgeting system. The goals are to achieve greater equity; encourage hospital efficiency, and promote a shift from inpatient to outpatient services. To implement these goals, inpatient care is being measured in terms of case-mix groups, i.e., a classification system comparable to the diagnosis-related groups. However, since there is no patient level cost data, cost weights are being derived from patient-level data from New York State. Transitional funding draws attention to both positive and negative aspects of global budgeting.
