Introduction:

The University of Maryland team has codified and communicated lessons learned from its successful track record of implementing hyperlocal approaches to community engagement and health promotion, epitomized by a network of barbers and hairstylists championing the health of their host neighborhoods. Community health champions from elsewhere are welcome to adapt/apply the Maryland team’s practical guidance on fostering partnerships and communicating successes.
