Better together: Coalitions committed to advancing health equity

Coalitions are influential organizations with purposeful, collective actions and voices. Coalitions have been identified as “a means of pooling the abilities, expertise and resources of numerous stakeholders to positively affect community health” (Granner& Sharpe,  2004, p. 514). Today, more than ever, our nation needs the powerful actions and voices of coalitions to create a paradigm shift toward more equitable health care. Coalitions effective in shaping health behavior, realizing health outcomes, and addressing health inequities are purposefully built.
