OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE

COLLABORATION AND

ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY

WITHIN THE PREVENTIVE HEALTH

SYSTEM FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

AND THEIR FAMILIES.

OUR VISION IS TO ENSURE THAT

ALL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

ARE HEALTHY, THRIVING AND

SET FOR LIFE.

The Preventive Health Collaborative

(PHC) is a network of more than 70 partners

working to create a streamlined preventive

health system to improve services and care for

children ages birth to five and their families

within Maricopa County.

The year 2015 was a year of change,

transformation and renewal for the PHC. We

received support from a new funder, United

Health Foundation, welcomed new Maricopa

County Department of Public Health staff, and

added three new steering committee members.

Amidst all this change, the goal for the PHC

has remained the same: To help create a

healthier tomorrow, today.

The solid foundation built by our PHC

partners and MCDPH staff allowed the

PHC’s new leadership to look farther into new

horizons in this time of change and renewal.

The PHC’s leadership identified three main

goals to serve as the PHC’s north star as the

Collaborative charts a new path. These goals

are to:

1) Adopt the collective impact model of

working together

2) Focus on developing the leadership and

capacity of partners

3) Restructure the Partner Stipend Program

to produce more impact and accountability

Our nation is

partnerships among community members and

creating resource kits to share community

resources with the broader partnership. As the

PHC gained momentum, it became a

movement of over 70 partners working to

support children’s health.

The PHC began through a partnership

between First Things First and the Maricopa

County Department of Public Health with a

common vision of creating an innovative

program to address health prevention efforts

for children birth to five. In order to gain

community trust, a Steering Committee was

created to help govern and lead the PHC

movement. The Steering Committee provides

leadership and governance as the PHC

continues to convene partners, and define

goals, objectives, and action steps.

The PHC has built a partner base of

community organizations that serve children in

one of six health focus areas. In the beginning, the PHC focused on creating partnerships and

sharing resources with partners. This included

hosting community meetings to facilitate


Steering Committee Retreat

The PHC Steering Committee and

MCDPH staff came together in June 2015

for a strategic planning retreat to create a

vision for a more impactful PHC. The

Steering Committee outlined the

following seven goals to expand the reach

and impact of the PHC:

Enhance Partner Value

Improve Health Outcomes for

Children

Establish an Efficient Committee

Structure

Enhance Partner Relationships

Achieve a Diverse and

Sustainable Funding Base

Deepen our Influence in

Communities

Become Recognized as a

National Model

This retreat set the course for three

strategic changes that the PHC explored

through three “Moving Toward Collective

Impact” Meetings. The three changes

were:

Prioritize our health focus areas

Reassess the focus of the

trainings the PHC would provide

our partners

Restructure our PHC Partner

Stipend Program for larger

impact

As the PHC moves into 2016 it will

move from individual capacity building for

community partners to a more collective

movement focused on collaboration and

systems level change.

The PHC focuses on improving the

preventive health system for children in six

key areas:

Nutrition/Physical Activity

Access to Care

Developmental Health/Behavioral

Health

Prenatal/Newborn Care

Oral Health

Injury Prevention

On September 24, 2015 partners were

asked to provide recommendations on where

the PHC should focus its efforts. A

fundamental tenet of the collective impact

model is establishing a shared system of

measurement.

Through facilitated breakout sessions,

partners prioritized more than 60 health

concerns and identified the top five health

concerns per health area. The PHC will now

work on identifying SMART objectives,

indicators and baselines for each health

concern. The culmination of this work will

produce the PHC Prevention Plan 2016-2020.

This plan will allow for mutually reinforcing

activities from our partners and provide a

uniform way to measure our success as we

collectively tackle these difficult challenges.

* For more information on our health focus areas and please refer to our Health Focus Areas addendum on

page 17

Our healthcare system has begun to

shift its focus from the treatment disease to

creating a culture of health. This transitionary

period will provide the opportunity for

emerging talent to re-imaging what health

means to individuals, families and

communities.

On October 22, 2015 partners gathered to

hear two presentations on capacity

development. They also held three breakout

discussions on individual leadership

development, organizational leadership

development and community-based leadership

development.

Dr. Tiffanie Dillard, Principle of Avenir

Consulting Partners, spoke on the importance

of developing a greater sense of meaning and

purpose within our organizations, and about

how incorporating a greater sense of meaning

and purpose into our work increases

productivity and reduces turnover.

Lauren Schroeder, MPH, is the Director of

Capacity Building for the Alliance of Arizona

Nonprofits. She shared with us her research on

vital areas in which Arizona based non-profits

could improve their organizational functioning.

Moving Toward Collective

Impact Meetings

1 2

On November 19, 2015 partners

participated in a workshop to develop a PHC Action Plan for 2016. We were able to

recap the progress we made the previous two

meetings (prioritizing our health focus areas,

identifying our focus for capacity

development). We also developed an action

plan that will enable the PHC to harness the

power of the collective and begin to build

strong partnership for the prevention of

disease in our children, families and the

communities in which they reside.

Now that we have begun to build a PHC

Prevention Plan, committed to developing the

leadership capacity of our partners and have

developed an action plan for 2016, we have

started to ask poignant and ambitious

questions like: “How do we begin to build an integrated

preventive health system?”

* For more information on our PHC Goals for 2016please refer to page 16 in the addendum

The nationally recognized collective impact

model has helped many alliances, coalitions

and collaboratives achieve more effective

and efficient efforts. The concept of

collective impact was first articulated in the

2011 Stanford Social Innovation Review

article titled “Collective Impact.” It was

written by John Kania, Managing Director at

the Foundation Strategy Group (FSG), and

Mark Kramer, co-founder of the FSG and

senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy

School. They wrote: “Collective Impact

Initiatives are long-term commitments by a

group of important actors from different

sectors to a common agenda for solving a

specific social problem. Their actions are

supported by a shared measurement

system, mutually reinforcing activities, and

ongoing communication, and are staffed by

an independent backbone organization.”

The collective impact model outlines five

conditions that need to be met for a

successful collaborative:

1. Common Agenda

2. Shared Measurement System

3. Mutually Reinforcing Activities

4. Continuous Communication

5. Backbone Support organization

COLLECTIVE

IMPACT 3


If our partners are provided

with coaches to help them:

Build teams with representation from multiple community sectors

Learn to work better collectively

Address the policies and systems that give rise to preventable public health challenges for children and families

Test different strategies and theories of change on how best to improve health outcomes for children birth to five

Then our partners will be

better able to:

Uderstand the public health system in Maricopa County

Create innovative and collaborative solutions

Build stronger relationships among different sectors in the community

Provide collective leadership

Provide our community with valuable information on both promising practices and practices that were not successful

Measure their impact on the PHC’s health focus areas

Our final goal for 2015 was

to redesign the Partner

Stipend Program and to utilize

its funds for larger systems-

based solutions and for greater

accountability. Many of our partners expressed the desire to engage in community change efforts. Although these efforts have a large impact, they can be very difficult to achieve.

Our Action Learning Team

(ALT) program matches our

partners desire to engage in

these larger projects with

effective facilitation and

coordination necessary to be successful. Teams are made up of multiple PHC partners, who have identified an early childhood preventive health challenge that aligns with the PHC’s mission, can apply to be paired with an ALTeam Coach who will help them design, develop and implement their project.

With the hard work and

commitment exhibited by

our partners, steering

committee, staff and with the

support from United

Healthcare Foundation and

Maricopa County Department

of Health, the PHC is

positioned for a very exciting

2016.

This year, we will launch up

to eight Action Learning

Teams (ALTs) that will tackle

systems change efforts,

publish a thorough preventive

health plan with baselines and

indicators of success, and

provide training aimed at

developing the leaders of

tomorrow.

Preventive Health Collaborative

Theory of Change Our Vision The Vision of the PHC Movement is to ensure that all Children and Families are Healthy, Thriving and Set for Life

Our Mission The PHC’s Mission is to improve collaboration and community capacity within the preventive health system for young children and their families.

Our Focus The PHC focuses on improving the preventive health system for children in six key areas:

• Nutrition/ Physical Activity• Access to Care• Developmental Health/ Behavioral Health• Prenatal/ Newborn Care• Oral Health• Injury Prevention

Our Theory of Change

Align: The PHC is committed to being a neutral convener of preventive health partners from the public and private sectors to identify common opportunities and challenges to meet the needs of children birth to five and their families. We help partners create a culture of collaboration, develop shared indicators of success, foster ways to share our data/ best practices and identify common ways to evaluate our programs. This helps all partners make data-driven decisions and employ the most promising practices as we strive to meet today’s greatest preventive health challenges.

Strengthen: A vital part of our mission is to strengthen the capacity of our partners to be able to provide better and more efficient services to children and their families. The PHC will provide a variety of training opportunities that will look to increase the leadership of our individual members and the capacity of our organizational partners. A central question that our partners continually face is: what can we do to better work with the communities we serve to co-create a healthier tomorrow? What skills must we sharpen to be able to bridge this gap?

Leverage: The PHC as a network has the opportunity of leveraging our collective expertise and experience by educating community members and decision makers on the importance of preventive health for expectant parents, young children, and their families. The PHC provides the platform necessary to highlight the great work that our partners are engaged in, bring awareness to the challenges that need more attention, and develop ways in which we can effectively communicate our needs and opportunities to a broader audience.

Accelerate change: Many of our partners have expressed the desire to engage in policy and systems change projects that have population-wide impact. Although these efforts have a large impact, they are very difficult to implement. Our Action Learning Team (ALT) program matches our partners desire to engage in these larger projects with effective facilitation and coordination necessary to be successful. Teams that are made up of multiple organizations, who have a policy and systems change project that aligns with the PHC’s vision, can apply to be paired with an ALT Facilitator that will help them design and implement their project.

Partnership Agreement Our Mission: To improve collaboration and community capacity within the

preventative health systems for young children and their families.
