A brief description of the institution’s supportive sustainability partnership(s) with the local community:
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 graduating seniors, 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 and the four partner agencies. The students receive an annual salary, on campus housing, health insurance and a year-end bonus for those who 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 will conclude in May 2016. The program is expected to continue with a new cohort beginning in June 2016.
