Trenton Health Team understands factors affecting health and well-being include the environment, economy, education, behavioral health, access to care, safety, and government policies.
THT includes residents, patients, and community leaders in needs assessments, resource allocation and program design decisions, and program evaluation. We hold community forums and provide services in neighborhood settings throughout the city to support a systems approach to health improvement.
Community Advisory Board
THT’s Community Advisory Board represents more than 100 organizations and 500 individuals. We regularly convene to share information, brainstorm solutions, and co-design interventions enhancing health and well-being. (See a list of CAB members below)
In addition to the main CAB, workgroups have been formed with a focus on specific topics, such as access to healthy food and maternal health, while affinity groups encourage partnerships among colleagues such as community health workers or communications directors. Current workgroups and affinity groups include:
- Capital City Diabetes Collaborative
- Trenton Housing Stakeholders
- Maternal Health Stakeholders
- Mercer County Food Stakeholders
- Community Health Workers
- Faith in Prevention
Feedback from CAB members and the people they serve shapes our work and provides qualitative data to evaluate progress.
