The Columbia Community Partnership for Health (CCPH) is an initiative of the Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, Columbia University Medical Center, and New York Presbyterian Hospital.
Featuring:- a bilingual health information library for community use;
- computers with free Internet access to health related information;
- interview/exam rooms for research purposes;
- a conference room for health promotion and disease prevention lectures, forums, discussions, and other related events
CCPH was created to support equitable research partnerships and to provide dedicated space in the community for health information dissemination. Dissemination activities are based on principles of health literacy. Inadequate health literacy is a major public health challenge which directly and indirectly impacts on the health of our communities.
