CIHE’s Internal Collaborative develops structure and processes required to ensure EVMS activities address stated community needs and reflect institutional goals and values. The group also provides institutional feedback on the Hampton Roads Community Collaborative and shares input on support for community engagement efforts offered across EVMS (e.g., infrastructure and programmatic support). The Internal Collaborative also takes up other issues related to community, inclusion and health equity.
