Chesapeake Health Education Program
Partnerships
Partnerships have always been the foundation of our business. Joint ventures with community agencies, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and a host of other government and private organizations have resulted in a cost-effective approach to provide education and training to health care professionals. A combination of strong leadership, commitment on the part of senior officials, active involvement in the process, and clear communication with stakeholders has been the formula for success in partnerships.
The corporation was formed when member organizations signed an agreement to work together and share educational resources. How that occurs is completely up to the agency. Most share “in-kind” resources with the responsibility for financial resources maintained by CHEP. Through this mechanism, no partnering agency is at financial risk, yet all agency staff members can benefit. The primary challenge for the partnering agency is to encourage full participation at the educational events among the staff of their agency. The result is the ability to provide excellent programs at a price that is affordable. If you are interested in exploring partnership with CHEP, please contact any of our staff.
