The PHCC collaborates with clinical and community service programs across the University, and fosters discussion about relevant events, activities, developments and progress at local, regional and national levels. The PHCC meets every other month.

• Developed the annual Dr. David Satcher Community Health Improvement Awards to increase professional recognition for exemplary community-engaged work.
• Created the Community Health Mini-Grant Program to help enhance university-community partnership work by funding meeting expenses, food for focus groups, transportation, etc.
• Contributed to the revision of the Promotion and Tenure guidelines to reflect the value of community engaged research.
• Created a resource for Evaluating Community Engagement in an Academic Medical Center.
