CIHE’s Internal Collaborative develops structure and processes required to ensure activities at Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University address stated community needs and reflect institutional goals and values. The group also provides institutional feedback on the Hampton Roads Community Collaborative and shares input on support for community engagement efforts offered across Brock Virginia Health Sciences (e.g., infrastructure and programmatic support). The Internal Collaborative also takes up other issues related to community, inclusion and health equity.
