| Popis: | To address toxic stress among children growing up in poverty, an innovative collaboration was developed between a community center, Operation Breakthrough (OB), and a tertiary care children's hospital, Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH). OB started as a day care center but has expanded and developed ways to provide shelter, safety, food, employment, education and health care. CMH is a traditional academic children's hospital that, in recent years, has been looking for ways to better address the social determinants of health. This article describes how the two organizations found ways to work together to capitalize on each other's strengths. Although the two institutions shared some common goals, they had very different organizational structure. We describe how a series of complex negotiations and trust-building exercises eventually led to a robust and unique partnership. |
