What is a CBP?

 

A Community Benefit Program (CBP) is the deliverable of CBN activities. It is an enterprise that promotes health & well-being in the community. It is created by "connecting the dots" among community stakeholders who have a professional duty or organizational calling to serve the community.

A CBP is formed by strategically aligning the interests and activities of key community stakeholders within the scope and spirit of the 10 Essential Public Health Services and 3 Core Functions. The result is a benefit to the community resulting from the economies of collaboration.
