Local governments in California are making an effort to improve engagement with community, but there are still many challenges to this. That's why at the foundation, we support work that aligns systems with community priorities.  In this month's newsletter, we highlight some of the innovative work happening to center community voices. Here's what you'll find inside this month's Intersections:  ➡️Our grantee partners San Joaquin Valley Health Fund, The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, and Public Health Institute are creating accessible spaces for people with lived expertise to have a seat at the table.  ➡️A multi-sector collaboration, Safety & Healing in Networks of Equity (SHINE), is creating safer, more supportive communities that can drive systemic change in domestic violence prevention and response.  ➡️Our partners Onside Partners and ThinkForward Strategies conducted research on how public health agencies are actively using an equiy-centered approach.

🧡 Honoring Truth, Reconciliation, and Community Health🧡 Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on the legacy of residential schools and honor the survivors, the children who never came home, and their families. This day also marks Orange Shirt Day, a time to raise awareness about the lasting intergenerational impacts these institutions have had on individuals, families, and entire communities. At AMS, we recognize that reconciliation is essential to the well-being of the communities we serve in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. True reconciliation means not only reflecting on the past but also taking meaningful steps toward healing. We remain committed to providing compassionate, accessible healthcare to northern communities, acknowledging the historical trauma, and supporting the path forward. In regions where access to healthcare can be a challenge, we strive to bridge the gap with cutting-edge technology, compassionate care, and strong community partnerships. Together, we’re making a real difference, one patient at a time. 🧡 We encourage everyone to take the time today—and every day—to reflect, listen, and learn as we work toward a brighter, more just future for all. #NDTR #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay #CommunityParamedicine #AirAmbulanceTeam #ACCESSAirAmbulance #AdvancedMedicalSolutions #TogetherForAHealthyNorth 

When we say "fun, age-appropriate educational tools for primary schools to teach kids about organ donation and health education," this is what we mean… This is the 8-minute film recently shared on the BBC One Show. I’ve received a lot of queries since then, so wanted to share the full film and let you (and your kids) judge for yourselves. If you agree, please share it. There’s no catch—we’re an open book and welcome feedback so we can keep improving and growing the programme. OUR MIGHTY APPROACH  Our toolkits are designed to help kids everywhere take better care of their health, each other, and the entire planet, the Orgamites’ range of educational toolkits is unlike any other.   They inform! Of course, knowledge is power – so we provide loads of it (all science-backed, medically verified and packaged for kids), but our educational resources don’t stop there.   They inspire! If we’re aiming to motivate kids to live mighty, we must captivate their imaginations, not bore them to death! Instilling students with more awe and wonder (about their bodies and the world and people around them) is foundational to our approach.     They empower! To embolden kids to not just know better, but live better, every Orgamites resource is anchored in fun challenges and practical action steps that lead to incremental improvements and personal ownership.     They’re FREE! We believe that all kids everywhere deserve a fighting chance of a brighter future. That’s why we’re committed to delivering world-class resources for every school, at no cost.    They really work! Just like the hidden veggies in every mum’s spaghetti bolognaise, all the important stuff is in there, but the kids won’t see it coming! Never competing with existing curriculums, Orgamites’ resources aim to rather complement them – filling in the major health and social education gaps to help avert some of the the most significant crises of our time.
