Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is a United States territory in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Since 2020, we have served as a learning partner to the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation (CHCC) – the only publicly funded healthcare system in the CNMI – on several federally-funded needs assessments.
Most recently, we partnered with CHCC on a strengths and needs assessment as part of the US HRSA Rural Communities Opioid Response Program. After the assessment, we supported the CNMI’s collective impact initiative to develop a vision, strategies, and an evaluation plan for prevention, treatment, and recovery programs. We also provided training on collective impact sustainability and the social determinants of health.
