The November issue of Health Affairs, released today, examines the connections between the community development and public health sectors to improve health and well-being. The issue explores the growing cross-sector collaborations to foster access to healthy food, safer homes, job training, and other community improvements to reach shared public health goals. Articles in this issue, produced with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, suggest that new relationships can make the kind of improvements in health that no one sector has been able to achieve in the past. At the journal’s press briefing this morning, author Sandra Braunstein of the Federal Reserve System explained that it’s important to study and foster the relationship between the two sectors because “they can bring a lot of expertise and a lot of power to help people live healthier lives.” The November issue features work from the following AcademyHealth members: Neighborhood Characteristics Associated With Access to Patient-Centered Medical Homes for Children Jaya Aysola and John Z.
