Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI),
Penn State Schuylkill, and Primary Health Network hosted the Schuylkill County Health Collaborative Community-Driven
Research Day on May 31, 2024.
Community-engaged research creates better results
by encouraging collaboration between researchers and community
partners throughout the research process.
The event's facilitated discussions provided the opportunity for Schuylkill
County community leaders to connect with Schuylkill County health
leaders and providers and Penn State faculty from Schuylkill,
University Park, Harrisburg, Hershey, and Berks campuses who
share similar community health interests. The goal of this event is
to provide a foundation for future community-engaged research
partnerships, which will benefit the Schuylkill County community.
