Based in Seattle, Washington, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) oversees a network of over 1000 community groups and campuses in the United States. CCPH’s mission is to promote health through service-learning, community-based research, community service and other partnership strategies.

CCPH has recently been funded by the Kellogg Foundation,  to convene a Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health Professions with the goal of creating a supportive culture and reward system for health professional faculty involved in community-based participatory research, service-learning and other forms of "community-engaged scholarship."  We invite you to attend an interactive discussion on challenges, opportunities and possibilities for community-engaged scholars and the institutions that support them.
