Coalitions bring people and organizations together to pursue a shared cause. In population health, they can help nurses and community partners combine their expertise, resources, and influence to address health needs and inequities.
A coalition is a group of people or organizations united by a shared vision, concern, or goal. Members might include nurses, community organizations, public agencies, businesses, educators, residents, and others affected by an issue.
