The Episcopal Health Foundation is funding multiyear initiative for six Texas communities to build accountable communities of health (ACHs) that serve as a local platform for bringing providers, partners, and community residents together to transform local health systems to improve community health and achieve greater equity.

The Episcopal Health Foundation engaged the Georgia Health Policy Center as an external evaluator for both the planning and implementation stages. Evaluation activities for the planning year included a grantee readiness assessment, coaching to aid grantees in developing logic models, and defining performance measurements at both the grantee and enterprise levels. GHPC is also evaluating the three-year implementation using both formative and summative evaluation practices to help understand how the initiative is making progress towards the stated goals as well as to capture short-and long-term outcomes of the work.
