NPHP Partners

Concept

With support from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Health Museum (NHM) is joining with leading national organizations and institutions to undertake The National Public Health Partnership (NPHP), an initiative designed to foster dialogue between the nation's public health and museum and science center communities. During Phase 1 (culminating in Spring 2003), the NPHP will bring together museum and science center institutions and professionals with the individuals and organizations working in the nation's public health arena to assess needs and identify opportunities to work together toward common goals. A Phase 2 of the NPHP is also envisioned, which could include the final production and dissemination of the Phase 1 deliverables, implementation of NPHP activities as prioritized in Phase 1, and development of a plan to support an ongoing, sustainable Partnership.
