The Community Health Network Spring Meeting aims to generate collaborative action and learning to improve community health practices for underserved populations globally. Its vision is a world with healthy communities where no woman or child dies of preventable causes. CORE Group, a network of over 70 NGO, university, and government members, facilitates coordination, knowledge sharing, and partnerships to further this mission. Working groups address key health areas while tools and trainings help practitioners apply learning from the field.
