Tucson Medical Center’s Post

Women’s health is at the center of family health and sorely under researched and under invested. Today at the #hlth2024 from HLTH USA conference in Las Vegas, Dr. Jill Biden is underscoring the importance of investing in women’s health and the progress that the Biden-Harris Administration has been doing in the past 12 months with large investments in this critical area. But there is still lots more work to be done.

The data on Health inequalities are unequivocally compelling. At UMMS we walk the talk with a laser focus on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. The amazing Dr. Tiffany Wiggins leads several initiatives addressing Health Equity. #UMMSProud #HealthEquity.

HAN and CityHealth developed a partnership to explore how health systems can work with cities to improve community health through policy change and place-based investments. HAN members Boston Medical Center (BMC), Intermountain Health, and Trinity Health participated in a pilot learning cohort. #SDoH #healthequity #AnchorMission #CommunityWealth #ImpactInvesting #impactinvestment From the CityHealth article: As health systems are increasingly addressing health factors outside of the walls of their clinics and hospitals, there is growing momentum to support impactful change at the community level. This approach is an ideal complement to the work that CityHealth leads: providing a health focused, evidence-informed framework for local leaders to use as a benchmark and accountability tool. https://ow.ly/L2B050Qu5w6

We’re in DC today with the National Collaborative for Health Equity, talking about #racialhealthequity. More on what we see and hear soon!

On this day, the St. Louis Integrated Health Network (IHN) commemorates and honors the legacy of Michael Brown, Jr. who was taken from us way too soon. We also stand in solidarity with Michael’s family and friends, striving for a safer and more just and equitable society. Ten years later, it is important that we all revisit the call to action outlined in the Ferguson Commission report, “Forward Through Ferguson: A Path Toward Racial Equity.” (https://lnkd.in/gqAFRMqQ) Championed by Bethany Johnson-Javois, former IHN CEO and Managing Director of the commission, one of the signature priorities named in the report is assuring access to affordable health care. IHN was born out of the necessity to ensure access to quality and affordable healthcare for historically excluded communities. As a trusted partner, we hold ourselves and those with whom we partner accountable to advancing health equity. We center ourselves in the fundamental truth that health equity cannot be realized without racial equity. Racial equity is achieved when all communities reach their full potential through the elimination of policies, systems, and cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race. Recognizing that practices of the past and present have shaped current gaps in health outcomes, the path forward for St. Louis requires us to mobilize and leverage the power of our community, partners, and systems to collectively disrupt these patterns. In honor of Michael Brown, Jr., IHN will continue to challenge systems and change structures that impede access and opportunities to wellbeing. We offer peace and comfort to Michael Brown, Jr.’s family and friends, and to broader to St. Louis community who was touched by his spirit.

At CHCF, we believe in a health workforce that mirrors the diversity of our state, especially for the 15 million Californians enrolled in Medi-Cal. How can California achieve this? 🔍 Improving data disaggregation to understand patient language needs better. 💡 Increasing scholarship funding and loan repayment resources for people passionate about serving underserved communities. 🏫 Advancing holistic admission processes in California’s health profession schools to foster diversity. 🤝 Strengthening partnerships between California Community Colleges and California State Universities to bolster allied health professions. As CHCF’s Kathryn E. Phillips shared at a recent Assembly Health Committee hearing: “Our health workforce is a critical infrastructure. It’s the infrastructure of care. And just like our roads or our bridges, we need regular assessment. We need infrastructure upgrades. Our workforce deserves more. Our patients need care.” We were honored to testify alongside our many partners working to build the representative workforce we all want and need: California Pan-Ethnic Health Network, California Black Health Network (CBHN), Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, Roots Community Health Center, and AltaMed Health Services, among many others.
