The purpose of the TA is to ensure effective implementation of this policy by supporting and strengthening engagement among MCPs, LHJs and community stakeholders over time.

Fostering a deeper understanding among MCPs of the health and social needs of members and the communities in which they live through cross-sector partnerships. Enhancing MCPs ability to effectively engage in CHA/CHIP processes and develop high-impact, collaborative strategies to address the needs identified in the CHA and prioritized in the CHIP and reducing siloed approaches to population health management, fostering more integrated and effective strategies to improve the health and well-being members.
