New from PHI's Build Healthy Places Network, the Healthcare Playbook builds the skills to help community developers partner with hospitals and healthcare systems. The playbook can help identify cross-sector partners; determine hospital readiness for collaboration; leverage your assets for partnership; and create your partnership roadmap. Read this valuable resource and share with your network on Twitter: By joining forces, community development and the health sector can work together to build #prevention into their communities and advance good health and opportunity for all! @PHIdotorg's @BHPNetwork has created a playbook to get you started: http://bit.ly/HealthcarePlaybook
