HealthierHere, a non-profit collaborative based in King County, Washington and steward of the Connect2 Community Network, is highlighted in this EHR Intelligence article focused on the importance of shared governance. As a recent 211/CIE San Diego consultee, HealthierHere exemplifies the important distinction that a CIE is an ecosystem of multidisciplinary network partners, not just a technology solution. As HealthierHere COO Gena Morgan states in the article, “Equally important is the need to be locally owned and managed collaboratively by the community, not by one organization, platform, or group, similar to a public utility,” continuing on to state, “We see this as the need to be governed by and to serve the needs of the entire community, especially the needs of our community’s most vulnerable.”
