Congratulations to our President, Dr. Davis, for authoring the chapter Psychological Aspects in Living Donor Organ Transplantation, published by Elsevier Academic Press. We commend the editors for instilling an asset-based, patient-forward ethos in this text. Community psychologists do it all!

Our health system will thrive when absolute health is informed by the amplified voice of patients and communities.
About us
Patient centricity is too often treated as a strategic imperative. It is, in fact, an action. Quality, regulatory compliance, and safety have been hardwired into the fabric of healthcare delivery. So too have surveillance, prevention, and health promotion become synonymous with public health. Individual and Community involvement must be similarly operationalized to grow beyond satisfaction surveys and epidemiological reports towards vigilant feedback cycles to create, enhance, and evaluate healthcare activities.

The improvements we make to healthcare today mean nothing if they're not systemically impactful and authentically bold. On Day 1 as faculty at Xavier University I impressed upon the students to learn the relational and managerial skills that would make them impactful. But also, to spend this time honing that passion that makes them aspirational innovators. I'm hopeful that the message resounds with them. Thank you to Peter, Elizabeth, and all the faculty and staff that have made me feel welcome at my alma mater.

CPHC members Earnest and Aaron attended Black Tech Week in Cincinnati, Ohio this week. They were investigating ways to leverage technology to solve the issues so many patients lament in CPHC engagements. Patients want to identify ways to reach their optimal level of health without drugs and medical visits. They want to learn from people with similar lived experiences who have been battled chronic disease with good outcomes. They want to build the capacity to resist illness in their communities. The CPHC team, and a ton of bright minds brought together by Lightship Capital, will continue to ideate with communities towards their goals.

Sometimes its hard to round out your praxis to impact all the leverage points necessary to affect real change. Those organizational structure limitations are especially pesky. Like so many of our peers, CPHC spun off a nonprofit to fill in the gaps. Mantle Center is a conservatory and incubator of ideas that improve the health status of communities. Its tagline, For Health Capacity, speaks to how it will bring new community-informed ideas into practice. Holding community listening sessions and teaching high schoolers how to engage with qualitative health research is that baseline work that can't always be fomented in a for-profit entity. Never be afraid to make more work if the vision requires it. The communities we serve are more than worth it.

Community Psychology Health Collaborative reposted this
When we grant patient well-being the same piety afforded to quality and productivity, our healthcare processes would look very much different. That's an excerpt from my upcoming talk "Consumer-Defined Future States: Performance Enhancement Through Patient Engagement" on February 13 at Duke University Health System. How can activating our patients as health system investors bring about improved outcomes for processes and populations? Thanks to Stuart Knechtle for the invitation and to Lisa McElroy for providing a clinician-researcher's perspective.

CPHC Collaborators bring multiple skillsets and epistemologies to bear on one pressing issue: rebalancing the social contract of health with patients. Many thanks to Dr. Sonji Jones-Manson, Valinda Jones, Gena Graves and Quin Taylor for their invaluable contributions to Community Psychology Health Collaborative projects in 2023. And a BIG congratulations to Aaron Davis, MBA, CHW for taking on the role of Programs Officer at CPHC. Onward and upward!

2023 wasn't a good year, it was a GREAT year! At CPHC our client list grew with the addition of the University of Illinois Chicago and the Cancer Justice Network/Coalition for Health Justice. Our participation in the UC Venture Lab Accelerator continues to strengthen our population approach to patient empowerment. We continued our thought leadership in the field of organ transplantation by championing a Delphi panel regarding patient needs within the OPTN Modernization Initiative. Thanks to TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION INC, American Society of Nephrology, Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO), National Kidney Foundation, and the patients who participated in that patient-forward visioning project. We can't wait to share more about how we are operationalizing patients as partners in 2024!
