Partners for Advancing Health Equity’s Post

💡 ICYMI: The Policy Learning Collaborative, a new six-week training piloted by CCP, Johns Hopkins BSPH Department of Health Policy and Management and Baltimore City Health Department, is more than just "policy 101" for community members. “At the core of it, this is an approach to increasing community capacity to shape policy and advance health equity,” says CCP's August Summers, PhD, RD, CHES. "It’s a great example of purposeful investment in our own community and recognizing who is best positioned to design and advocate for solutions.” 👉 Read the full story: https://bit.ly/3Y8gtXA

I am **so** excited to participate in next week's conversation about "The Politics of Health Equity", hosted by Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and Partners for Advancing Health Equity - Mark your calendars! March 19th 1-2PM CT. And what an honor to share the virtual podium with Ella Greene-Moton from the American Public Health Association, Anique Forrester from University of Maryland Medical Center and Caryn Bell from Tulane. The politics of health equity involve a variety of views, beliefs, and factors that affect how health inequity is discussed and how health policies are implemented. Such differing perspectives shape our perceptions of health issues and health disparities experienced by marginalized populations, influencing the actions taken to address them. Political divides and polarization are persistent challenges to implementing initiatives that will serve communities in need and improve health outcomes. This webinar will bring together voices to share their insights on the role of politics in the advancement of health equity. We'll discuss ways that organizations across sectors can collaboratively participate in the political process and bridge political gaps to push for policies and programs that will improve health outcomes for all. #healthequity #healthpolicy #healthjustice #politicaldeterminantsofhealth Register here: https://lnkd.in/gSUGKdEY

They're the themes at the foundation of everything we do, so it's great to see health equity and inclusive trial design spotlighted by our Chief Clinical Officer Athena Robinson PhD in this important discussion today at #DTxWest. #digitaltherapeutics #digitalhealth #dtx

It’s this time of year that many of us, here in the United States, take time to reflect on things we are thankful for. Most often we give thanks for our families, our friends, and our health.  We at Interim Visits Magazine urge you to add clinical research to your list of things to be thankful for. To learn why read the article I wrote to explain! https://lnkd.in/ece4b4pq #givethanks #thanksgiving #tistheseason #clinicalresearch

Collaborating for health equity requires intentional actions. Institutions must share power with community members and diverse organizations. This includes prioritizing community leadership, capacity building, and community wisdom.

Thank you to Twin Cities Business, Liz Fedor and leaders Dr. D'Andre Carpenter, DNP, RN with Allina Health, Hilary Marden-Resnik with UCare and Rachel Hardeman, PhD, MPH co-founder of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity for hosting a meaningful, insightful discussion about health equity during TCB Talks: Health Care.    As Dr. Hardeman shared, change starts with the language we choose and it starts with us. It’s about equity versus equality - not everyone is starting from the same place. We all have a role to play in dismantling structural racism.   As leaders, we can disrupt and implement change in our own organizations and communities, from hiring and training to supporting other leaders and efforts in the community. Investing in health equity = healthier communities and a healthier workforce.

"What we're asking people to do, and the supports that we're providing them to do it, are not the same thing" explains Taren Swindle, PhD, an expert in Implementation Science. Dr. Swindle was the keynote speaker during NCCOR's Implementation Science workshop. She explained that creating more equitable public health outcomes starts by learning how to distinguish an innovation from its implementation strategy and context.
