A survey of health directors in large US cities reveals a troubling lack of trust between communities and public health (only 18% report high trust). However, all leaders prioritize partnerships with community-based organizations (CBOs). While trust seems to be a challenge (only 28% felt it's improving), there's a clear recognition of the importance of collaboration. All public health department leaders ranked partnerships with CBOs as their top priority – a staggering 79% agreed. The article highlights a strength in collaboration. Communities, especially those facing health inequities, need support to collaborate with public health organizations. #Policy #Healthcare #PublicHealth
