Boston, MA, Dec. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centering Healthcare Institute is partnering with the Harvard Business School Association of Boston in a pro bono consulting engagement as part of its Community Action Partners (CAP) Program.

CAP projects result in incredible impact for nonprofit clients and are a uniquely rewarding volunteer experience for alumni.
“CHI is thrilled to have this opportunity to learn from and work alongside such an accomplished group of leaders,” said Angie Truesdale, Chief Executive Officer of Centering Healthcare Institute. “Our organization is in the early stages of executing a national scale growth strategy. The CAP experience will allow us to continue to build a stronger organization and be better positioned to reach more families in the years to come.”
