Temple Health is dedicated to advancing women’s health equity with innovative programs and a dedicated hospital. “I have been working around the world with underserved women my whole career.

A new report recommends changes to Minnesota’s oversight of assisted living facilities to reflect the culturally specific needs of their communities. Led by researchers from CCAPS and the School of Public Health, the study identifies four key challenges faced by smaller, culturally specific providers, and offers recommendations to meet each challenge. "There are thousands of smaller, culturally specific assisted living facilities across the US," says Rajean Moone, Ph.D. Moone, director of the University's Long Term Care Administration programs. "While specific to Minnesota, these findings and recommendations could have implications for other states that are pursuing similar efforts.” https://lnkd.in/e3wGawbp #assistedliving #culturalheritage #publichealth #ltc #ugrad #story #Minnesota #longtermcare #inclusivity #eldercare #umnresearch

Just whole healthcare executive scaling health equity through field-defining business, policy and service integration strategy
On the eve of California’s groundbreaking, health equity-focused Enhanced Care Management birthing cohort, this model for accountable, values-first care for Black mothers, birthing individuals, and babies resonates. The self-determination and voice and choice it elevates for Black communities and families is a model for so many areas of health inequity. Being a data nerd, I’m thrilled to see Action Area #1 “Institutional Accountability and Data Accessibility” hit the nail on the head. 🤓 We definitely need to: 🤰🏾Use community-defined measures to monitor progress in reducing Black maternal and infant health disparities 👶🏾Produce a publicly accessible Black birth equity monitoring and evaluation system, and ⚖️Incentivize provider actions to advance Black birth equity through innovative Medi-Cal payment models. Grateful Health Net under Pooja Mittal’s leadership and Nancy Wongvipat Kalev, MPH's community engagement is funding this work and other investments in maternal-infant health and racial equity. Grateful Palav Babaria and the California Department of Health Care Services are about to take it to the next level with ECM for birthing populations, the PHM Service (Medicaid payer risk data platform), and Bold Goals for health equity that center maternal and early childhood access and outcomes. Excited for Amanda P. Williams, MD, MPH, Melissa Hanna and Mahmee to do their part, like with the Blue Shield of California expansion alongside Jacqueline Ejuwa, PharmD, MHL. https://lnkd.in/gC3msRaR #maternalhealthisourfuture #healthequity requires #racialequity
Health Net is proud to have funded the first California Coalition for Black Birth Justice (the Coalition). We know that increasing health equity means investing in local leadership, innovation and collaboration. They bring together experts focusing on improving birth outcomes for parents of color. The Coalition recently released their first agenda, developed by seven members of the Coalition staff and 10 strategic advisors, including Pooja Mittal, Health Net’s chief health equity officer. “To bring about true change, we need long-term investments in Black-led organizations, and more mechanisms for accountability and transparency,” said Dana Sherrod, MPH, Coalition co-founder and executive director. “We applaud Health Net for being an earlier supporter of the Coalition and hope others are encouraged to follow their example.” Read the Coalition’s agenda, Unifying the Vision for Systemic Change: https://lnkd.in/e9_937bj #BlackBirthJustice #HealthEquity #LocalPartnerships #CommunityInvestments

Despite the progress made in medical research, the gap in health outcomes continues to widen in the United States. Inequities are wider now in many respects than 50 years ago. History has proven that health, education, and economic policies are major contributors to health inequities, and BWHI is fighting to reverse the harmful effects of these policies to close the gap. Following significant strides in civil rights and social justice in the 1960s, the health equity gap between Black and white people was at its narrowest around 1972. However, a movement to derail civil rights advancements called the Southern Strategy, presidential administrations cutting social services, and the overturning of #RoeVWade are all examples of events and policies that contributed to the subsequent widening of the gap by worsening social and economic conditions for historically disadvantaged communities. BWHI is changing our trajectory and working to close the gap. By promoting research and advocacy, we can address the social determinants of health. As we collectively fight for more equitable policies at statehouses and on Capitol Hill, we must also advocate for representative health education and research studies, for bias training and culturally competent practices, and for social systems that will in turn yield better health outcomes. See how the last 50 years have widened the #HealthEquity gap:

🌟 As we commemorate Juneteenth, marking the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in 1865, it's essential to reflect on its significance and our ongoing journey towards health equity. Just as the end of slavery was a complex process, so is our push towards equity in healthcare. At Surgical Directions, we're committed to advancing health equity for all minorities. This Juneteenth, let's reflect on our progress and the work ahead. Explore the Health Equity Roadmap by the American Hospital Association to support this mission. Together, we can make a meaningful impact. https://equity.aha.org/ #Juneteenth #HealthEquity #Healthcare

We celebrate the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH)’s annual National Minority Health Month and are inspired by this year’s theme, Be the Source for Better Health: Improving Health Outcomes Through Our Cultures, Communities, and Connections. This theme invites us to understand how the unique environments, cultures, histories, and circumstances (known as social drivers of health, or SDOH) of racial and ethnic minority and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations impact their overall health. This National Minority Health Month the OMH encourages everyone to Be the #SourceForBetterHealth for racial and ethnic minority populations— and we agree! So, this year, we celebrate National Minority Health Month and its theme by lifting up our ‘on the ground’ partners across SDOH domains doing the transformational work of moving from understanding into action to improve minority health and wellbeing. Whether public sector or community-based; public health, healthcare, education, justice, housing or community development; national organizations or grass-roots groups imbedded in communities—our partners are all committed to moving from system-centered to person- centered practices that center and respond to diverse cultural voices, beliefs and context to address SDOH’s that impact the diverse communities they serve. 🔎 Learn more about how addressing social drivers of health can help eliminate health disparities and learn how you can take action in your community: https://lnkd.in/eFyydTnd #NMHM24 #HealthEquity

We’re in DC today with the National Collaborative for Health Equity, talking about #racialhealthequity. More on what we see and hear soon!
President & Founder of TheCaseMade. We're on a mission to help everyday people lean into their strengths as leaders and reimagine how justice wins. Help us create the future of systems change, powered by everyday people.
The potential for policy advances on health equity that center the TRHT framework (truth, racial healing & transformation) has never been stronger – but that’s only if we can organize and make a strong case for that vision. I'll be sharing more on the Racial Runway—case-making principles for advancing racial justice—and I'm excited to join a panel of committed changemakers to discuss how they are making the case for health equity in the complex environments in which we work! Join us! Leon Andrews Avenel Joseph Tambra Raye Stevenson #casemaking National Collaborative for Health Equity TheCaseMade

Healthcare Executive & Non-Profit Leader: Strategic Planning • Organizational Development • Change Management • Project Management: I achieve strategic objectives by boosting stakeholder engagement and collaboration.
Celebrating National Minority Health Month: The Vital Role of Community Health Centers 📆 April marks National Minority Health Month, a time to reflect on and address the persistent health disparities that affect racial and ethnic minority groups across the United States. While these challenges are considerable, there is hope and progress is being made by Community Health Centers. ❓ Did you know that Community Health Centers serve 1 in 7 people of color? These centers are pillars of strength in our communities, especially in underserved areas like the California Central Valley. They offer culturally competent care, which is not just about speaking the same language but understanding the cultural context that influences health behaviors and perceptions. This approach has proven effective in improving patient health outcomes and reducing disparities. ❇ This week, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) video highlighting the indispensable work of Community Health Centers, a project of the Grassroots Advocacy Leadership Program I am a part of. As we observe National Minority Health Month, it's important to acknowledge the critical role that Community Health Centers play in advancing health equity. With your support, we can ensure they have the resources they need to continue their vital work, making a difference in reducing health disparities and building healthier communities for all. #NationalMinorityHealthMonth #HealthEquity #CommunityHealthCenters #CulturalCompetence #HealthDisparities #ValueCHCs

Oral health equity is a pillar of health equity, and among our policy priorities. This new report on oral health needs throughout New York State, released with several of our partners, highlights high-need areas, especially in rural counties. "The research team identified 31 high-need areas with significant oral health needs, primarily located in rural regions such as the Mohawk Valley, North Country and Southern Tier, where more than two-thirds of the population live in high-need areas. Similarly, over one-third of the population of the Central New York region resides in high-need areas." https://lnkd.in/eTq54sMQ

Well-deserved recognition and spotlight for Dr. Villa and La Casa de la Salud 👏🏼 Community Health Workers play a pivotal role in public health, providing trusted and culturally relevant care and resources to marginalized communities. If you’re looking for an organization to support with your 3 T’s (time, talent, treasure), I highly recommend considering LCS. Bridging the gap between the public and public services is the most critical function a nonprofit organization can have to ensure we are still leveraging public resources as much as possible before supplementing with philanthropy.
Adjunct Professor - Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University
