How we move upstream: Meet | We | Achievable Insightful messaging tips!

We’ve discussed how powerful framing can be in messaging, and recent findings from the CDC Office of Health Equity shows this, particularly in the context of health equity. The CDC suggests that we should reframe our messages to focus on health equity rather than just health disparities. Explore these findings to discover how positive framing can significantly enhance the impact of our efforts to make positive change towards health equity in our communities!

The key to achieving improved health outcomes in your community is not just creating an IMPROVEMENT PLAN, but making sure it is IMPLEMENTED🌟 If implementation was straightforward, it would happen every time, but the fact is there are many players involved in achieving improved health outcomes in a community, and the process is NOT easy. At Moxley Public Health we are experienced in the process of taking knowledge to action - listen to our CEO Stephanie Moxley talk about strategies we use to support our clients in successful implementation post CHNA/CHIP development in the video below and DOING THE STRATEGIES of the IMPROVEMENT PLAN ⬇️

I implore all Public Health Practitioners to take a look at this and approach your work with CHEC in the forefront of your mind and processes. #publichealth #chec #healthequity

Health in All Policies (HiAP) is a strategy that strengthens the link between health and other policies, creating a supportive environment that enables people to lead healthy lives. HiAP considers the intentional or unintentional impact of non-health policies in areas such as education, housing, transportation, economic development, and others on individual and/or population health. HiAP approaches are central to the concept of achieving a “culture of health” that leads to more healthy and equitable outcomes. In this session, the Planning Healthy Communities Initiative (PHCI) will lead an introductory training on Health in All Policies, focusing on how to bring community health and equity into planning processes and decision-making, emerging tools to build capacity for health advancement in planning, and how to support health in all policies. In addition to presentations, participants will engage in group exercises, discuss opportunities and challenges to integrating health into planning and policy processes, and learn about new statewide collaborative initiatives.

What we see a lot: communities working very hard and allocating a lot of resources (time, lots of money, etc.) to collecting data for a health assessment and then developing the improvement plan… but then NOT implementing or carrying out the improvement plan! I know that this is because of lack of staff capacity, not enough time, lack of processes, lack of funding (and NOT because people don’t want to make those improvements or have the desire to see them completed). This is just something to be aware of and to talk about. We are trying to do our best to support our clients to reduce the above barriers and help communities be more successful and carry out their improvement plan for their community. See the video below where I talk about this. (Feel free to share your thoughts and other ways that could help reduce this issue of not carrying out the improvement plan…)

World Health Day: "My Health, My Right" On April 7th, we celebrate World Health Day, focusing on the theme "My Health, My Right." This theme reminds us that everyone has the right to good health and deserves access to quality healthcare, without facing discrimination. As PANS Public Health Committee Esut, we believe in empowering individuals to take charge of their health. We provide education and resources to help people make informed decisions about their well-being. We also advocate for policies that make healthcare accessible to all, regardless of their background or financial situation. Our goal is to create a fair and just healthcare system where everyone's health matters. Let's work together to ensure that "My Health, My Right" becomes a reality for everyone, everywhere.

Achieving universal access to health rights continues to be a global health challenge. Based on the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development’s World Health Day showcase which brought together policymakers, practitioners and scholars, I plotted the landscape of the global health priorities that must be addressed to obtain universal access to health.
