HHSC Workgroups
Join the Health & Human Services Collaborative working to strengthen families across the Panhandle.
What is the HHSC?
The Health & Human Services Collaborative (HHSC) brings together agencies, providers, and community members to identify needs and coordinate solutions across Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan Counties.
Its work happens through workgroups — small, focused teams that each tackle a specific area of community need. Anyone with a stake in healthy families is welcome to take part.
Quarterly meetings: the HHSC meets on the first Friday of March, June, October, and December (unless otherwise scheduled). Meetings follow topical matters of interest and all are welcome to participate. For information on previous meetings, including minutes or agendas, contact director@frnotp.org.
