From Silos to Shared Strategy: Lessons in Collaboration from NNPHI 2025

At this year’s NNPHI Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Metopio joined forces with leaders from across the country to explore a question more urgent than ever: What does real collaboration look like in modern public health? 

In our session “One Table, Many Partners: How Health Systems and Public Health Are Building Shared Assessments”, panelists from the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership, Illinois Public Health Institute, and Atrium Health joined Metopio COO Angie Grover to share how they’re building new models for Community Health Assessments (CHAs) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs) — models powered by shared data, shared technology, and most importantly, shared strategy. 

As public health departments, hospitals, and community organizations face growing demands with shrinking resources, these cross-sector partnerships are making real collaboration possible. Together, the presenters showed how unified platforms are helping dozens of partners move from fragmented efforts to a coordinated, equity-focused approach: Streamlining reporting, eliminating duplication, and putting actionable data at the center of every decision. 

Collaboration isn’t just about consensus, it’s about infrastructure. With the right tools and the right partners, communities can transform the way they work, plan, and improve health together.
