Rochester Healthy Community Partnership (RHCP)

Rochester Healthy Community Partnership (RHCP) began in 2004 as a partnership between community organizations in Rochester, Minnesota and researchers at Mayo Clinic to address health concerns of the community. Their primary aim is to improve the health of our community through community-based participatory research, education and civic engagement. RHCP has developed an effective community-based research infrastructure and are experienced at designing and carrying out programs with community partners who also help identify health priorities within their communities. RHCP is made up of dedicated partners from community-based organizations, schools and universities, medical centers, and many community volunteers.

We collaborate with NACC through the Center for Chronic Disease Reduction and Equity Promotion Across Minnesota (C2DREAM). Funding for C2DREAM is supported by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number P50MD017342.
