A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability, including website URL (if available) and information to support each affirmative response above:

For the past 3 years, Elon has partnered with four Alamance County agencies to form the Elon-Alamance Health Partners Program, which is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Alamance County residents. The program employs four recent graduate fellows, one at each of the agencies: Healthy Alamance, Impact Alamance, the Alamance County Health Department and Alamance Regional Medical Center. The program is funded by Elon University with support from Cone Health. The graduate fellows receive an annual salary, housing allowance, health insurance allowance from Elon and are eligible to receive a year-end bonus if they attend graduate school in North Carolina or accept full-time employment in Alamance or a neighboring county. The inaugural cohort began their work at the four partner agencies in June 2015, and the program continued with additional cohorts in June 2016 and 2017. The next cohort will begin in June 2018, with the plan to add two additional graduate fellows positions for 2018-2019.
