SUMMARY:Local Impact Investing Models for Health Conversion Foundations
DESCRIPTION:Local impact investing is particularly attractive to health conversion/health legacy foundations – institutions created from the sale of health care organizations. These foundations are developing local impact investment programs as a strategy to keep assets within their communities as well as to generate measurable community benefits and financial returns. LOCUS Impact Investing and Grantmakers In Health held a virtual – and conversational – learning session designed to identify guideposts for best practices by health conversion foundation local investors. Participants engaged in peer-to-peer discussion as they explored elements of program design and how to start lifting up effective and equitable practices. \nResources: \n\nLocal Impact Investing PowerPoint Presentation\nZoom Chat Text File\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Aligning Your Company’s and Foundation’s Social Impact Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Social responsibility requires companies and their foundations to seriously consider how they operate within diverse communities and interact with members and employees. This webinar explored how the Florida Blue Foundation and its parent company conducted a social impact strategy refresh related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental\, social\, and corporate governance (ESG). The session described the process used to bridge the CSR/ESG goals under one overall strategy; the methods utilized to monitor\, measure\, and evaluate impact; the organizational restructuring required to support the narrowed focus; and the renewed commitment to the shared mission. Susan Towler\, Executive Director of Florida Blue Foundation and Florida Blue CSR\, shared what worked best\, which steps presented challenges\, and key lessons learned.  \nResources: \n\nFlorida Blue PowerPoint Presentation \n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Advancing State Data Collection on Opioid Treatment
DESCRIPTION:The COVID pandemic has made the nation’s long-standing opioid epidemic even worse\, causing increasing numbers of people to seek out opioid treatment programs. At the state level\, effective tracking of opioid treatment can help government officials\, health care providers\, advocates\, and funders know what’s working\, what needs to be improved\, and how to address health disparities. Unfortunately\, few states report data beyond overdose death rates and emergency department visits\, which hampers opportunities for innovation and improvement. This webinar focused on a national initiative launched by the Pew Charitable Trusts that offers states a core set of metrics to track opioid treatment access and use. Presenters described how better data collection can target critically needed progress and discuss the role philanthropy can play in these efforts. Speakers included Jan Brown of SpiritWorks Foundation Center for the Soul\, Frances McGaffey of Pew Charitable Trusts\, and Monica Trevino of Michigan Public Health Institute. \nSlide presentations: \n\nRecovery is Not Random – What We Measure Drives Change by Jan Brown\nThe Core OUD Treatment\, Measures for States by Frances McGaffey\nMichigan’s Journey Toward Equity in Medicaid by Monica Trevino\n\nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Caring for Our Health Care Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities for Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Southern California Grantmakers  \nThe last two years have taxed our country’s health care workforce\, elevating pre-pandemic issues to a crisis level. Clinics struggle to hire\, develop\, and retain staff\, and workers face burnout\, low pay\, and the mental health repercussions that come from being on the frontlines. Federal funding is providing some immediate relief\, but additional support is necessary\, along with a longer-term strategy to support the field and diversify the workforce. This webinar helped participants to better understand the landscape of health care workforce needs\, discuss the strategies that attendees are currently engaged in\, and highlight the ways philanthropy can build on existing state and federal efforts to ensure a comprehensive response. Speakers included Jasmine Hill of the Public Policy and Sociology Department at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, and Marko Mijic\, Undersecretary of the California Health and Human Service Agency. \n

SUMMARY:The Long View: Centering Equity in Your Philanthropic Practice
DESCRIPTION:Philanthropy must commit to equitable practices and must do so urgently. But the question many of us are asking is: how do we do it? The Rippel Foundation and Grantmakers In Health codesigned a webinar where participants heard from philanthropic leaders Tiffany Donelson\, President\, and CEO of the Connecticut Health Foundation\, and Qiana Thomason\, President\, and CEO of Health Forward Foundation. Participants learned how these foundations are centering equity in their work and sharing power with community partners. Designed to encourage open dialogue\, the discussion explored what this work looks like internally\, among staff and trustees\, as well as how it unfolds externally\, with grantee partners and other key stakeholders. \nResources: \n\nPowerPoint Presentation\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Millions of Children Still at Risk of Losing Health Insurance Coverage 
DESCRIPTION:The unwinding of the public health emergency looms\, threatening to disrupt Medicaid coverage and health care access for an estimated 16 million people as early as August 2022. Although the Biden Administration recently announced its proposal for fixing the so-called “family glitch\,” which would improve insurance coverage and affordability for many\, there remains an urgent need for philanthropic organizations to help prepare for what’s ahead. This on-demand webinar featured the latest updates on changes that are coming to Medicaid and CHIP\, and on ways to address the coverage needs of children and families in the months to come. Presenters included Joan Alker\, Executive Director of the Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University; and Jessie Mandle\, Deputy Director and Senior Health Policy Analyst at Voices for Utah Children.    \nAdditional Resources: \nMillions of Children Still at Risk of Losing Health Insurance Coverage \nVoices for Utah Children \nGeorgetown Center for Children and Families \nRecording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Improving Equitable Outcomes for Mothers and Children by Expanding the Doula Workforce     
DESCRIPTION:A number of states have made progress toward policy changes that would enable Medicaid reimbursement for doulas and other birthworkers. These initiatives are expected to help improve maternal and infant health outcomes\, especially among groups of people who face disproportionately high mortality rates. Leaders in the field discussed policy actions and explored opportunities for philanthropic engagement in the expansion of doula services. Speakers included Amy Chen of the National Health Law Program\, Jamaica Gilliam of Blaq Birth Circle\, Kiana Trabue of bi3\, Inc.\, and Atiya Weiss of The Burke Foundation.   \nPresentation: \nDoula Workforce \nResources: \nCalifornia Doula Pilots Lessons Learned Project – National Health Law Program \nSHARE Program | Community Doulas (berkeley.edu) \nAdditional Resources from NHeLP \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Aligning Foundation Communications to Restore Trust in Public Health
DESCRIPTION:We are experiencing an unprecedented erosion of trust in public health expertise caused by a host of reasons\, including misinformation and disinformation. Communications staff in health philanthropy play a vital role in assisting their organizations – and\, most importantly\, the grantees and communities they serve – with addressing this new normal following the COVID-19 pandemic. \nPeople responsible for external communications work at their foundation or corporate giving program joined this virtual convening to discuss the problem and the impacts we are seeing in communities across the country. By exchanging ideas and sharing evidence-based communications practices\, we identified common challenges and possible solutions to rebuilding trust among key institutions and supporting the communities we serve. \nThis was a unique opportunity to connect with peers as this is the launch of a series of candid\, confidential\, and unscripted discussions designed to strengthen our alignment and explore the potential for collective action. \n

SUMMARY:Connections to Nature and Green Spaces: A Path to Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Blue Sky Funders Forum  \nTrails\, parks\, and green spaces play an important role in public health\, with benefits ranging from increased physical activity to numerous positive behavioral health outcomes. While need and demand for them rose during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the ability to access public places for outdoor recreation and refuge remains a privilege for some rather than a resource for all. During this webinar\, we discussed the growing evidence base for the benefits of green spaces\, some of the current interventions and strategies being employed to more equitably expand access to communities of color and low-income communities\, and why green space access should be included in every funders’ health equity strategy. Speakers included Juan Martinez of Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions and Courtney Schultz of Health & Technology Partners\, LLC.  \nResources: \n\nNature Exposure and Health Lit Review\nMeasuring Nature Contact Lit Review\nAspen Institute Measuring Wellbeing Project\nChildren and Nature Network Research Hub\nBlue Sky Environmental Literacy and Health Outcomes Research\n\nPowerPoint Presentations: \n\nCourtney’s PowerPoint\nJuan’s PowerPoint\n\nRecording: \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Building an Integrated Behavioral Health Workforce for Children and Families
DESCRIPTION:The lack of accessible\, effective behavioral health care is among the greatest threats to the healthy development of children and adolescents\, especially in structurally marginalized communities. In response to this critical care gap\, a group of federally qualified community health centers (FQHCs) and foundations in Massachusetts developed the TEAM UP (Transforming & Expanding Access to Mental Health Care in Urban Pediatrics) for Children Initiative\, an eight-year\, $22 million initiative that builds the capacity of FQHCs to deliver high-quality\, evidence-informed\, trauma-responsive\, integrated behavioral health care to children\, adolescents\, and families. Speakers explored lessons learned and resources from the initiative’s past six years\, including design and investment decisions that have enabled improved access to care\, workforce development and training approaches\, state-level advocacy and reimbursement strategies\, and evaluation and monitoring tools. \nSpeakers included Genevieve Daftary of Codman Square Health Center\, Anita Morris of TEAM UP for Children\, Jessica Rittner of The Klarman Family Foundation\, Amy Rosenthal of Health Care for All\, and Shanna Shulman of the Richard and Susan Smith Family Foundation. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nTEAM UP Overview \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Trends in Routine Vaccination and Preventive Services for Children
DESCRIPTION:Early data suggest that rates of routine childhood immunization and well-child visits declined during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and with significant variation among different demographic and socioeconomic groups. While some data suggest the rates may be recovering\, many fear that these disruptions could have long-term consequences for communicable disease prevention\, health screenings\, and other preventive care\, especially among populations already experiencing health disparities. Insufficient or lagging data have made it difficult to fully assess these trends or to design policies\, interventions\, and monitoring to address these challenges. A robust conversation was held on evidence to date about missed immunizations and well-child visits\, gaps in data\, and implications for children’s health and public health. The discussion highlighted state-level approaches\, as part of a menu of opportunities for philanthropic partners interested in research\, advocacy\, education\, and community engagement. Presenters included Helen DuPlessis and Rebecca Mendoza of Health Management Associates\, David Wedemeyer of Health Management Associates\, and Michelle Fiscus of the National Academy for State Health Policy. \nRecording:

SUMMARY:The Long View: Operating in Complexity
DESCRIPTION:As the world around us grows more complex\, philanthropic practices must change and adapt. We need responsive\, emergent strategies\, skills\, and mindsets to meet these challenges in an intentional and relational way. \nCodesigned by The Rippel Foundation and Grantmakers In Health\, this webinar featured Carolyn Wang Kong of Blue Shield of California Foundation. She shared how the foundation infuses adaptive learning cycles\, experimentation\, and the centering of lived experience into its approach of operating in complexity. \nParticipants gained practical tools and insights about how to examine current practices and develop new adaptive strategies. \nResources: \n\nPresentation – The Long View: Operating in Complexity\n\nRecording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Reinforcing the Safety Net: Ensuring the Future of 340B
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) \nThis webinar focused on the critical role the 340B Drug Pricing Program plays in financing health services in the United States. For almost 30 years\, the 340B program has allowed health care organizations – including small rural hospitals and community health centers – to help low-income and at-risk populations access discounts on medications they provide\, and to use the savings to invest in expanded services for patients. The 340B program continues to be at the center of drug pricing reform conversations and is therefore at risk due to proposed changes within state Medicaid programs that may significantly limit or end the benefits received by health care organizations. These resources are particularly crucial in the U.S. South and in states that have not expanded Medicaid. This discussion highlighted both the purpose and vulnerability of the program\, the advocacy needed to protect its future\, and the important role funders can play in this moment. Speakers included Bill Keeton of Vivent Health\, Jeffrey Lewis of the Legacy Health Foundation\, Mary Elizabeth Marr of Thrive Alabama\, Jesse Milan of AIDS United\, and Vacheria Tutson of the National Association of Community Health Centers. \nWebinar Recording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Health Equity Networking Call
DESCRIPTION:Grantmakers In Health is pleased to convene the Health Equity Network and connect with peers at foundations and corporate giving programs around the country. This first networking call of 2022 focused on language and narrative change. As we approach the third year of the pandemic\, many philanthropic institutions are working to ensure that health equity remains front and center in their internal governance and operations and external grantmaking and partnerships. These are long-term efforts\, which will require rethinking how health funders talk about equity; translate equity concepts and frameworks for their trustees and communities; and invest in efforts to shift social\, political\, and cultural narratives. \nOur 90-minute call was held on: Wednesday\, March 29 2022/2:00 p.m. Eastern \nThis call is part of a series of ongoing discussions to improve trends\, innovations\, funding needs\, data collection\, community engagement\, and equity audits. Please contact GIH for more information or to recommend future call topics. \n

SUMMARY:Addressing the Urgency of Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Southern California Grantmakers \nNo one has been exempted from the mental health toll of the COVID-19 pandemic\, though experiences have differed across race\, gender\, income\, immigration status\, and disability. Children and youth are at particular risk\, as outlined in the December 2021 Surgeon General’s Advisory\, Protecting Youth Mental Health. The pandemic and its associated challenges\, along with preexisting stressors including racism\, gun violence\, climate change\, and increasing national polarization\, have taken a serious toll on the wellbeing of young people and their families. This webinar explored issues our youth are facing and uplifting ways that philanthropy can take action to support youth mental health\, especially in ways that are culturally responsive and center collective healing. \nMore information can be found on the event website. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nLAT MH Initiative Slide \nSCG Health Funders Group SAMHSA \nSoCal GM DHCD BHI Graphic \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Public Health Modernization: How Funders Can Support Health Departments to Advance Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has exposed significant fractures in the nation’s public health system. Local and state health departments play a pivotal role in advancing health equity\, addressing public safety\, and promoting better health for all\, however historical underfunding of governmental public health has made it challenging to mitigate the effects of the current pandemic. The results of this disinvestment is often felt most acutely by communities of color and low-income people\, making a recommitment to public health both an equity and racial justice issue. As we enter the third year of the pandemic\, funders\, policymakers\, and governmental health officials have an opportunity to prioritize investment in health departments for the future. The Bipartisan Policy Center’s recent report\, Public Health Forward: Modernizing the U.S. Public Health System\, outlines actionable steps that can help guide investments and priorities for the next five years. \nThis webinar explored how health funders can advance health equity by supporting governmental public health and collaborating with health departments.  Speakers included Brittany Giles-Cantrell of the de Beaumont Foundation\, Judy Monroe of the CDC Foundation\, Anand Parekh of the Bipartisan Policy Center\, Brandon Skidmore of the Sunflower Foundation\, and Kathy Talkington of The Pew Charitable Trusts. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nAnand Parekh\, MD _Overview of PHF \nRecording:

DESCRIPTION:So many in philanthropy want to contribute to building a more just and equitable future\, but the question is\, how? Dealing with compounding and urgent crises can easily consume our energies. How do we begin to imagine and create practices that bring about new opportunities for a vibrant future? \nCo-designed by the Rippel Foundation and Grantmakers In Health\, this webinar featured Cassie Robinson\, a futurist and philanthropic leader who works\, as she describes it\, in the “entanglement of what-is and what-might-be.” Ms. Robinson has leveraged her experience in philanthropy to map out grantmaking practices that allow funders to collectively steward resources and make meaningful change. Participants gained a concrete\, practical understanding of how to work differently\, and how to get started. \nResources: \n\nPresentation – The Long View: New Year\, New Practices\nLong View Webinar Jamboard\n\n  \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Disability Justice: What Funders Can Do to Address Disparities\, Equity\, and Health
DESCRIPTION:Although people with disabilities represent a quarter of the U.S. population\, funders often do not include them in health equity discussions or prioritize them in grantmaking initiatives. This is a profound oversight with serious consequences\, because people with disabilities experience significant barriers to health care services\, and are at high risk of poverty\, housing insecurity\, and discrimination. These disparities are even more pronounced among people of color with disabilities. For example\, the poverty rate for people with disabilities is more than twice as high as for the general population\, and is over three times as high for black and Indigenous people with disabilities.  A comprehensive vision of health equity must include the rights\, needs\, and voices of people with disabilities. \nThis webinar explored innovative measures to address how philanthropy can advance disability justice and how grassroots organizations are helping to change the national dialogue on disability\, health equity\, and race. Speakers included Nikki Brown-Booker of Borealis Philanthropy\, Sneha Dave of Generation Patient\, Ryan Easterly of the WITH Foundation\, Mordecai Ettinger of Health Justice Commons\, Morénike Giwa Onaiwu of the Foundations for Divergent Minds\, and Justine “Justice” Shorter of the National Disability Rights Network. \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Centering Health and Racial Equity: It’s an Inside Job
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 18 months\, foundations and corporate giving programs have announced unprecedented commitments to health equity and racial justice. Many have begun to thoughtfully assess their own organizations in order to better understand how their internal practices and policies have either impeded or facilitated equity and justice. Their actions are being carefully observed and documented in reports such as the 2020 Diversity Among Philanthropic Professionals Report and Mismatched: Philanthropy’s Response to the Call for Racial Justice\, which highlight key lessons and share timely recommendations. While philanthropic institutions are at different points on their equity journeys\, one thing is clear: lasting\, permanent change requires starting from the inside. \nSpeakers included  Jo Carcedo of Episcopal Health Foundation and Barbara Leonard of the Maine Health Access Foundation\, who delved into their perspectives and shared their long-term plans\, promising processes\, and lessons learned in centering equity and racial justice at their foundations. \nRecording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Equitable and Sustainable Children’s Oral Health Services in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:While the United States has seen improvements in children’s oral health in recent years\, almost half of children continue to experience dental cavities\, which are associated with disruption in learning and increased risk for a lifetime of systemic inflammatory health conditions. Notable inequities persist among school-aged Latino and African American children. Effective school-based oral health services can be targeted to high-need populations\, and philanthropy can support the policy development and technical assistance needed to establish more equitable and sustainable care. \nA robust conversation was held about an exciting effort to expand oral health services to rural and underserved communities in North and South Carolina\, through a school-based model supported by three foundations and their state partners. Speakers included Hannah Benson of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation\, Katie Eyes of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation\, Amy Martin of the Medical University of South Carolina School of Dental Medicine\, and Stacy Warren of The Duke Endowment. \nResources: \n\nPresentation by Amy Martin\nA Technical Assistance Curriculum for Expanding Sustainable School-Based Oral Health Programs in the Carolinas’ Dental Safety Net\nEvaluation of a Comprehensive Oral Health Services Program in School-Based Health Centers\n\nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Racial Inequities in Medical Debt: Causes and Potential Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Asset Funders Network\, Economic Opportunity Funders\, and Philanthropy New York \nIt is estimated that approximately half of all Americans have incurred medical debt\, totaling nearly $140 billion and affecting approximately one in five households. Medical debt prevents millions of people from achieving financial stability and negatively impacts their health outcomes and emotional wellbeing. Recent reports have found that medical debt is higher and more concentrated in communities of color\, due to inequitable policies and practices that reinforce the racial wealth gap. This discussion covered viewpoints on the problem of medical debt\, the people most at risk\, and potential points of engagement for philanthropy.  Speakers included Keith Hearle of RIP Medical Debt\, Michael Karpman of Urban Institute\, and Andre M. Perry of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. \nPowerPoint Presentations: \nAndre Perry Brookings Presentation Michael Karpman Urban Institute Presentation RIP Medical Debt Presentation

SUMMARY:Health Equity Starts with the Data
DESCRIPTION:The ability to measure health inequities is critical to addressing them\, yet racial and ethnic data and data measuring the drivers of health disparities are often missing or not collected. To address these important data gaps\, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, in collaboration with the National Collaborative for Health Equity and RAND Corporation\, and Grantmakers In Health\, in collaboration with the National Committee on Quality Assurance and with support from The Commonwealth Fund\, recently released the reports Charting a Course for an Equity-Centered Data System: Recommendations from the National Commission to Transform Public Health Data Systems and Federal Action Is Needed to Improve Race and Ethnicity Data in Health Programs. \nThis webinar featured a dive into the findings and a discussion on the reports’ recommendations for improving health equity data and to discuss how philanthropy can help ensure that we can effectively monitor progress towards achieving health equity. Speakers included Gail Christopher of the National Collaborative for Health Equity\, Cara James of Grantmakers In Health\, Alonzo Plough of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, and Sarah Scholle of the National Committee on Quality Assurance.  The session was moderated by Laurie Zephyrin of The Commonwealth Fund. \nPowerPoint Presentation \nHealth Equity Starts with the Data \n \n

SUMMARY:Affordable Housing and Health: Long-Term Solutions
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated housing insecurity for millions of Americans who have faced the risk of eviction\, foreclosure\, and homelessness due to job loss\, medical debt\, and illness over the past year and a half. While temporary measures such as eviction moratoriums and emergency rental assistance have provided relief for some\, longer-term solutions are required to address a preexisting affordable housing crisis that has disproportionately impacted Black\, Latino\, and Indigenous communities. \nThis webinar explored innovative measures to address these issues. Speakers included Andy McMahon of United Health Care and Tony Pickett of The Grounded Solutions Network. This session was moderated by Amy Latham of The Colorado Health Foundation. \n \n

SUMMARY:The Long View: FORESIGHT in Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:The future isn’t something that’s “out there.” It’s on the way\, right now. Many of us feel this in our day to day lives—things seem to come our way faster and faster\, and they’re more complex than ever. The pandemic. Climate change. Social movements. The Great Resignation. How\, amidst all of this\, can we ensure that the future that arrives is more equitable and just? How do we build bridges from today and “business as usual” to a new future\, one where everyone is thriving with no exceptions? \nIn order to meet this moment\, The Rippel Foundation has launched a series of informative and interactive webinars for funders. The first call in the series\, was codesigned by Grantmakers In Health\, and we heard from futurist Richard Lum of Vision\, Foresight\, Strategy. Dr. Lum led a conversation on how foundations can orient their work towards an equitable horizon\, and what practices can begin to bridge to this future. Participants finished the hour with an understanding of how to assess where they are today plus how to marshal the resources and will to begin building more equitable and innovative pathways. \nResources \n\nPresentation: The Long View Foresight in Philanthropy\nThree Horizons Board\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Legislative Opportunities to Increase Health Care Access and Coverage
DESCRIPTION:The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 is one of the largest economic relief programs in U.S. history\, which will provide billions of dollars to states\, communities\, and individuals. When considered alongside the Build Back Better budget reconciliation bill currently being proposed in Congress\, it is clear that federal legislation could soon impact nearly every aspect of the American economy\, particularly health care. This webinar discussed the key features of the American Rescue Plan Act and the Build Back Better framework—which include extending marketplace subsidies\, addressing the Medicaid coverage gap\, providing funding for clinics and health centers\, supporting consumer assistance and enforcement\, funding reinsurance and affordability programs—and discussed philanthropy’s opportunity to engage in the resulting work in communities across the country. Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation moderated a panel of speakers that included Frederick Isasi of Families USA\, Sarah Lueck of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, Edwin Park of the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute\, and Hemi Tewarson of the National Academy for State Health Policy. \nNovember 30 Webinar Resources \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Supporting Black Maternal Health and Advancing Birth Equity
DESCRIPTION:The United States has a higher rate of maternal mortality than any other developed country in the world. Driving this ranking are the significant racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality: black women are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. Across the country\, philanthropy and communities have launched an all-hands-on-deck approach to this crisis\, designing policies and programs intended to reverse the high rate of black maternal mortality and improve health outcomes for women\, children\, and families. \nThis webinar explored how latest policy updates\, successful strategies to advance birth equity\, and how health philanthropy can make an impact in reducing black maternal mortality.  Speakers included Dawn Godbolt of the National Birth Equity Collective\, Dr. Meredith Shockley-Smith of Cradle Cincinnati/Queens Village\, Dr. Shirley Sylvester of the Women’s Health Initiative at Johnson & Johnson\, and Kiana Trabue and Jennifer Zimmerman of bi3. \nPresentations: \nDawn Godbolt \, Dr. Shirley Sylvester\, Kiana Trabue and Jennifer Zimmerman \nRecording: \n \n  \n
