Wes partners across our teams to digitize their outreach, help expand their facilitation toolbox, and co-develop and execute engagement strategies. He continues to elevate the storytelling aspects of CCI’s work, co-producing multimedia content to transform cohort-centric activities or conversations into resources that spread innovative practices which can benefit the health care safety net and community at large.
