Each Work Group consists of a Heartland staff facilitator, core members and other members. Members are recruited from all eight Heartland states. Work Groups meet every 4-6 weeks, usually by teleconference. All Work Groups will have at least one face-to-face meeting every year at the annual Heartland Collaborative meeting. Most work is conducted by phone and email. Work Group pages allow you to view information, minutes, membership, meeting schedules and agendas.

Previously, the committees were the main work groups of the collaborative. In the fall of 2007, we reorganized into 4 Work Groups. Several committees (Cancer, Policy, Lab and Research) have been incorporated into the workgroups.
