Health promotion cannot be managed alone, it needs many helping hands. In order to support Thuringian municipalities in developing health-promoting, integrated strategies, the State Association for Health Promotion Thuringia eV - AGETHUR and matrix GmbH & Co. KG have joined forces. This means that Thuringia is a nationwide pioneer when it comes to supporting municipalities that are being supported in setting up structures within the framework of the statutory health insurance funding program. The cooperation brings the advantages of both institutions together: close, technically sound advice, Thuringia-specific knowledge and contacts, supraregional exchange of experience and the transfer of knowledge to other interested municipalities. The aim is to bring together expertise not only locally but also nationwide so that resources can be used and synergies can be created.
More on cooperation at the “Poverty and Health” congress
Interested parties can gain an insight into the interface between federal, state and local authorities at the nationwide Public Health Congress “Poverty and Health”, which will take place online from March 22nd to 24.3.2022th, 2022. A joint conference of AGETHUR, matrix GmbH & Co. KG and the Thuringian program office of the GKV Alliance for Health is also planned for May XNUMX. The focus of the event is on the support offered by the three partners: inside and the benefits from the perspective of the municipalities supported in the statutory health insurance program.
The motto of the closed cooperation is "Breaking new ground together - and being a role model for communal networking", let's tackle it!
