The Stewardship Committee facilitates communication between the Community Committee, Yale University, Griffin Hospital, and the PRC’s administrative core. Members are drawn from the Community Committee, Yale School of Public Health, and Griffin Hospital. The committee’s primary role is to guide PRC operations with regard to allocating resources; assessing performance against the Center's objectives; supporting the acquisition of facilities and other resources to operate the Center; and providing information on key health priorities.
