  Second, we pursue strategic city-wide multisector partnerships to address the many complex determinants of health that lie outside of health care. These partnerships include United Way, Cincinnati Public Schools, the Cincinnati Health Department and Head Start, for example. We build the capability of our partners to deliver on results by teaching quality improvement and coaching community leaders.
