SSIR Series: Dynamic Strategies for Successful Health Collaboratives

What isn’t usually highlighted across mainstream media is the idea of collaboration, partnership, and the willingness of not one, but multiple sectors, to address community health and healthcare delivery. But why do some health collaboratives succeed while others fail? In this episode, we talk to Ruth Wageman, associate of the department of psychology at Harvard University, and Gary Hirsch, an author and independent consultant based in Wayland, Massachusetts. On the show, Ruth and Gary help us identify the conditions that make health collaboratives thrive, the challenges around funding, and the positive outcomes they hope to see from high-functioning health collaboratives.
