In January, Groundwork Ohio announced a historic investment by MolinaCares Accord to build a “center of excellence” dedicated to authentically engaging Ohio parents and families in the policies and practices that impact the healthy development of their children. The report reflects findings from an extensive environmental scan across the state of Ohio and nation completed by the Center to explore best practices that successfully engage families in public services delivery to inform state and local programs, practices, and policy development. The scan was supported by expert technical assistance support from the Center for Health Care Strategies and the BUILD Initiative.
