Four Eastern Shore Healthy Communities partners were selected as Fellows in the National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership and Practice. The NLAPH improves population health by training multi-sectoral teams in an applied, team-based, and collaborative leadership development model. An applied health leadership project was the primary vehicle for learning through the program, whose core competencies were:
- Leadership mastery
- Ability to work effectively across sectors
- Application of continuous quality improvement principles
- Appripriate use of data for planning, assessment, monitoring and evaluation
- Commitment to a public health perspective.
Our fellowship team proposed two projects: boosting our already existing Worksite and Faith Communities Wellness Policies initiative and creating both an adult and youth Leadership Academy. The initial Youth Leadership Academy started in the fall of 2014 and completed their program in April 2015. The second class of scholars completed the course in May of 2016. Last year, our third class of scholars graduated in April of 2017.
