The Intersection Where Anti-Racism and Healthcare Meet

Community Advisory Boards: Creating Space for Lasting Partnerships

Shared vision, diverse membership, and collaboration—these foundational considerations provide healthcare organizations with a roadmap to establish a community advisory board that reflects the needs of the community.

Establishing a Community Advisory Board (CAB) is one strategy patient and justice advocates and healthcare providers can employ to better understand and support community needs. Developed as part of the Community Partnership Pilot, this infographic illustrates best practices to create and maintain an effective CAB that centers the health needs of a given community.

Discover how to convene and maintain a meaningful CAB through:

  • Laying the groundwork in defining goals, roles, and expectations up front
  • Recruiting members to ensure a CAB represents a diversity of expertise and lived experiences
  • Supporting meaningful participation through respectful and safe conversations
  • Reducing barriers to participation
  • Compensation for members’ expertise

Learn more about CAB best practices and key considerations to ensure engagement supports community health and wellbeing.
