THE PHILADELPHIA COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ALLIANCE
Philly CEAL is a city-wide collaborative effort aimed at improving the health and well-being of Philadelphia communities. Philly CEAL is part of the NIH CEAL research network, which is designed to identify promising engagement and outreach practices that communicate trustworthy, science-based information to communities experiencing health disparities.
We are delighted to announce that Philly CEAL will launch a new 4-year program, in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Nursing, the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO), and our Community Advisory Coalition.
