Academic-Community Partnerships Advisory Board

Creating solutions for a healthier community necessitates strong partnerships between researchers and community stakeholders. The North Texas region is rich in community assets, but like most urban areas, struggles to ensure the health and well being of all residents. Implemented in 2017, the Academic Community Partnerships (ACP) Advisory Board brings together community members and UNTHSC faculty, staff and students to promote effective partnerships that result in a healthier community.

The College of Public Health has a long history of community involvement through a variety of advisory groups. The ACP board is appointed by the College of Public Health leadership and meets quarterly to establish connections, review community and school activities, and provide advice related to school and community strategies.
