Development of a community health service: a unique collaborative alliance.
This case study describes the development of a public health satellite facility, the Health Source of Grandview, Missouri, a collaborative alliance sponsored by a public teaching/community medical center and a religious-sponsored community medical center. The needs and alternative solutions are examined and planning processes are discussed, including the issue of community needs and values as well as roadblocks and barriers to collaboration, and how this model meets the criteria for the new paradigm of community collaboration and partnership espoused by so many in this era of health care reform.
