HAN member Cone Health is partnering with Guilford County on a new Social Innovation team, which will be made up of six to eight people from both organizations. The team is aiming to address health inequities and will use Community Based Design to engage with members of the community to determine barriers that most impact their ability to stay healthy. The team is supported in part by funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. Mangili says they’ll likely begin work by the end of the year. The program is set to continue until 2026.
