Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in physical death.” Martin Luther King Jr.
NNEST-PC applies a multi-prong approach to increase health equity in four areas of focus:
Clinical Practice
Primary Care | DHMC and Clinics (dartmouth-hitchcock.org)
We engage with primary care clinics through quality improvement initiatives, pilot redesign projects, practice-based research, and targeted education. Our partnerships are with clinicians, patients and communities in designing, monitoring and evaluating primary care innovation using a team-based approach.
Education & Training
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
Decision makers must be cultivated and empowered to use training tools to reflect the diverse communities they are meant to serve. We will work with organizational leaders to uplift the voice of primary care as foundational to our health care system leveraging our relationships with Dartmouth Health and the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine to expand high-quality primary care.
Innovation, Research & Technology
Northern New England CO-OP Practice & Community-Based Research Network (NNE CO-OP PCBRN)
Home to the oldest, active primary care Practice & Community-Based Research Network (PCBRN) in the country the Dartmouth CO-OP is known for its implementation and dissemination of research and care delivery for underserved communities.
The Susan & Richard Levy Health Care Delivery Incubator is a joint venture between The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice (TDI) and Dartmouth Health (DH) to support the development of innovative health care delivery solutions. The Incubator’s primary goal is to provide rapid, scalable, and transformational redesign of health care services.
Health Policy & Advocacy
The Dartmouth Institute (TDI) convenes researchers, educators, and practitioners from multiple disciplines across Dartmouth to work toward our mission of improving population health, reducing health disparities, and creating high-performing, sustainable health systems.
