Findings continued • THEMES (con't) • Community engagement to create community ownership of multi-use sites • Strategies to increase access for priority populations • The types of programs that ROWPH should consider in a multi-use community setting • Peer support strategies should be considered • Internal planning between ROWPH divisions should be pursued
