Health Research Collaborative Invests in Population Health

The InterCommunity Health Research Institute, established
in early 2022, is a collaboration to leverage shared
resources to evaluate and improve population health
and health equity. The research institute, convened
by InterCommunity Health Network Coordinated
Care Organization, includes community partners, key
policymakers, researchers and health care system
representatives.

The research institute provides actionable evidence to
inform community health investments and initiatives
in Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties. It is creating an
inclusive, collaborative environment that promotes
curiosity, discovery and innovation through rigorous
program evaluation and research in the following areas:

• Finding the best approaches to support the needs of
  the community.
• Providing academic rigor to health‑related program
  evaluation and research.
• Strengthening community relationships and resources
  between diverse partners.
• Aligning resources and health education with
  the community.
• Facilitating diverse funding sources to support
  population health initiatives.
