COPE Capacity Building
Capacity building is another of COPE’s partnership strategies that support our vision of access to healthcare for all. Our capacity-building efforts provide training and coaching services to the key stakeholders in the health needs of people living with chronic illness and not getting the care they need.
Our goal is to share and build organizational and individual capacity to implement best practices of COPE’s service models and advocacy efforts.
COPE is recognized for its high-touch and agile programming that is able to adapt and respond in real-time to client needs, conditions in the community, and ever-evolving policy needs. Our work is field-tested, community-based, compassionate, and culturally sensitive care and support for individuals dealing with chronic health conditions all along the care continuum – from prevention and testing through cure and continued engagement in needed care.

COPE provides capacity building throughout the New York metropolitan area and nationally to HIV planning councils, advocacy initiatives, healthcare and social service providers, peer health workers, clients, and patients.
