Grateful to The Aspen Institute for showcasing our work at Link Health and for our Vice President of Partnerships Ar'Sheill Monsanto for representing the work! Link Health links patients to economic opportunity by enrolling them in public benefits like LIHEAP, SNAP, lifeline, and the ACP. In our pilot year, Link Health helped distribute over $490,728 in support directly to patients significantly enhancing the economic stability and health outcomes of the communities we serve. In the United States, the average income of the bottom 50% of adults is $24,800—a figure that has only seen a modest increase of $2,800 since 2000. This support is lifechanging for patients as the relentless financial strain and toxic stress not only have a profound impact on their health outcomes but also lead to a higher prevalence of chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes, exacerbated by poor access to nutritious food and adequate healthcare. Through benefits enrollment we can help patients fight the toxic impact of poverty on health.

Invitation to the Online Course: The Guiding Principles of A.L.O.H.A. Aloha, As we approach the upcoming elections, many of us are feeling the weight of divisiveness that is beginning to take root in our communities, teams, and even personal relationships. Sensitive discussions around differing views can quickly turn into polarizing debates. Now, more than ever, we need a framework to navigate these difficult conversations with empathy, respect, and responsibility. This is where the spirit of Aloha comes in. Aloha is not merely a greeting—it’s a powerful Indigenous framework that serves as a catalyst for meaningful dialogue without division. Rooted in Hawaiian wisdom, Aloha provides a guide for engaging in difficult conversations with grace and compassion. Dr. Gerry Ebalaroza-Tunnell’s research into the origins of Aloha reveals its profound meaning. "Alo" speaks to presence and forward-facing, while "Hā" represents the Breath of Life. Together, they form a practice of sharing life’s essence through respectful dialogue. Dr. G’s A.L.O.H.A. (Ask, Listen, Observe, Heart-focus, Adapt) framework is a practical tool for fostering productive, healing conversations, even amidst political or social tensions. In this course, you will: Improve Your Communication Skills: Develop the ability to engage in sensitive discussions during this divisive time while maintaining empathy, understanding, and respect. Apply the A.L.O.H.A. Framework: Learn practical ways to implement the A.L.O.H.A. principles in real-life conversations to foster responsibility and accountability and ensure discussions remain productive rather than divisive. Strengthen Community Connections: By understanding the Aloha concepts, participants will strengthen their relationships and foster unity within their teams, organizations, and broader communities—even when opinions differ. We invite you to attend this course, where you will learn how to incorporate the A.L.O.H.A. spirit into your communication practices, creating space for complex conversations without sowing division. Let us come together to rise above polarization, embracing Aloha as the bridge to understanding.
