Healthy Communities Partnerships is a collaboration of people, organizations, government and businesses working together to continually improve their economic, cultural and environmental health surrounding. The combined resources of everyone involved will enable people and communities to achieve their maximum potential and share in a higher quality of life. The Community Health Departments of Main Line Health's hospitals -- Bryn Mawr, Lankenau, Paoli and Bryn Mawr Rehab --  partner with the following communities by providing financial assistance, staff expertise and health education, prevention and screening if appropriate.

The Congregational Nurse Network (CNN) of Main Line Health
The Congregational Nurse Network has provided start-up grants to area churches for Congregational Nurse Programs. Congregational nursing programs have been successful in reaching congregations and surrounding communities, to provide holistic and preventive healthcare and to help individuals access the healthcare system. This approach builds on the existing sense of “community” in congregations and supports the concept that good health encompasses physical, emotional and spiritual health. Programs provided at participating churches are open to anyone living in the community.
