Center for Community Health and Evaluation

The Center for Community Health and Evaluation (CCHE) designs and evaluates health-related programs and initiatives throughout the United States. Much of CCHE's experience comes from its evaluation of multi-site community-level interventions with an emphasis on implementation and outcomes. Formerly the evaluation team of the Group Health Community Foundation, CCHE is now part of the Group Health Center for Health Studies.

CCHE specializes in matching evaluation strategies to the needs of stakeholders, including the community, program staff, clinicians, and policy-makers. Highly interdisciplinary, CCHE has designed health promotion interventions, evaluated both large and small health-related initiatives, organized national conferences, and published widely.

Recent CCHE work has focused on chronic disease prevention and assessment of sustained, broad-based community participation. Clients include foundations, local, state and federal government agencies, national voluntary organizations, universities, and community-based nonprofits.

Conference brochure

Local public health departments and community advocacy groups share many values, such as a focus on place and a commitment to improving health for all. This one-day conference will consider the successes and challenges of working together on common goals, with plenty of opportunity for lively discussions of ways to promote and sustain community partnerships.

The conference is sponsored by The California Endowment (TCE) and organized by CCHE. We will be sharing the findings from our evaluation of the legacyof the TCE Partnership for the Public’s Health (PPH) initiative.

A paper describing findings from CCHE's initial evaluation of PPH appears in the Journal of Urban Health:
