SUMMARY:Briefing on Striving for Health Equity: Opportunities as Identified by Leaders in the Field
DESCRIPTION:GIH Disparities Audioconference Series \nWho: \n\nBrian Smedley (report author)\, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies\nAnthony Iton\, The California Endowment\n\nWhat: \nHealth and health care inequities remain deep and persistent. Given this landscape\, what can health funders do to promote health equity? To address this and other questions\, GIH sought the perspectives of leading thinkers in the health equity arena on where the field has been and needs to go. To identify key opportunities\, leaders in government\, philanthropy\, academia\, public health\, and other fields were interviewed to seek their recommendations for health funders. What emerged were several areas of strong consensus regarding new directions that health foundations should consider\, as well as other promising strategies that have yet to garner broad support. This audiconference focused on GIH’s latest report\, Striving for Health Equity: Opportunities as Identified by Leaders in the Field\, which highlights funder strategies along a continuum of upstream and downstream approaches to address health disparities. \nPlease note that GIH audioconferences and webinars are open only to GIH Funding Partners.

SUMMARY:Addressing the Dental and Medical Workforce Needs of Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:GIH Oral Health Audioconference Series \nWho: \n\nLaurel Petralia\, The Colorado Trust\nMichael Scholtz\, East Carolina University\nDeb Watne\, Dakota Medical Foundation\n\nWhat: \nAccess to dental and medical providers is an on-going challenge that has plagued rural communities for decades. Many communities do not have local dentists or physicians\, and many of the communities that do are faced with the likelihood that retirements will leave vacancies that may never be filled. With more rural communities relying on fewer providers and resources\, the strain on rural health systems is tremendous. There are a number of promising strategies to reverse this trend\, and philanthropy can play a critical role. \nOn this webinar\, we explored how the health and dental workforces in rural communities can be improved through innovations in programs and policy\, including the role of funders and the promising areas they can consider for investment. \nRelated Content\n\nScholtz Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 17414 KB\nWatne Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 700 KB

SUMMARY:Critical Conversations: A Discussion with Don Berwick and Ellen Goodman About End-of-Life Planning
DESCRIPTION:GIH Quality Audioconference Series \nWho \n\nDon Berwick\, Former Administrator\, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\, and Former President and CEO\, Institute for Healthcare Improvement\nEllen Goodman\, Founder\, The Conversation Project\nMark Smith\, President\, California HealthCare Foundation\nAnn Monroe\, President\, Community Health Foundation of Western and Central New York\n\nWhat \nWith the rapidly growing aging population and reality of terminal illnesses in every age group\, there is a real need for the health system to better ensure that patients can express their care preferences. All too often\, there is a general reluctance to engage in end-of-life planning\, which leaves patients\, and their families and providers\, unprepared for critical decisions thrust upon them. The Affordable Care Act has laid a solid foundation for change by focusing on patient-centered care and making end-of-life services an important piece in providing high-quality and cost-effective care. This opens new opportunities for philanthropy to build on programs and to refocus and reinvest in improving end-of-life planning and services. \nIn this call former Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Don Berwick and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Ellen Goodman discussed The Conversation Project\, a new campaign designed to help ensure that end-of-life wishes are expressed and respected. The project’s goal is a wholesale cultural change that lifts the taboo on talking about how we want to live\, and the care we want and do not want. While others encourage physicians to have end-of-life conversations with patients\, The Conversation Project is starting at the kitchen table\, before a crisis. Partnering with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the W2 Group\, the project aims to dramatically move the needle on this issue with a traditional and social media campaign\, utilizing everything from YouTube and a Facebook campaign to a downloadable Conversation Starter Kit.

SUMMARY:Engaging Voters to Promote Health
DESCRIPTION:GIH Public Policy Strategies Audioconference Series \nWhen \nThursday\, May 17\n12:30 p.m. Eastern/11:30 a.m. Central/10:30 a.m. Mountain/9:30 a.m. Pacific \nWho \n\nLindsey Hodel\, Service Providers and Civic Engagement Project\nHelena Huang\, Oregon Voice & Northwest Health Foundation\nGeri Mannion\, Carnegie Corporation of New York\n\nWhat \nDespite unusually high rates of voter participation in the 2008 election\, only 60 percent of the nation’s voting-eligible population turned-out at the polls four years ago and an even smaller proportion cast votes in the 2010 mid-term elections. As highlighted in a recent GIH Issue Focus article\, health funders can and do have an important role to play in empowering communities through voter engagement efforts. This webinar considered the non-partisan activities that grassroots organizations conduct to increase voter registration and mobilization in traditionally under-represented groups and explored legitimate ways health funders can help support these efforts within existing legal boundaries. \nRSVP: \nTo register for this call\, please send an e-mail to publicpolicy@gih.org. You will receive the call-in number and related materials prior to the event. \nPlease note this audioconference is open only to GIH Funding Partners. While you should feel free to share this notice within your organization\, please do not disseminate it to others.

SUMMARY:Building the Infant Mental Health Workforce
DESCRIPTION:GIH Behavioral Health Funders Network \nWhen:      \nThursday\, May 10\, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern / 12:00 p.m. Central / 11:00 a.m. Mountain / 10:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \nJudith Meyers\, Children’s Fund of Connecticut\nDeb Weatherston\, Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health \nWhat: \nAn incredible amount of development occurs during infancy\, and what happens during this period can affect children’s mental health for years to come.  In response\, the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) developed a set of standards for early care professionals\, informed by a scientific and clinical study.  These standards titled the MI-AIMH Competency Guidelines\, identify the specialized knowledge and skills a birth-to-three professional needs\, including information about early brain development\, recognition of environmental risks\, and provisions and requirements of laws affecting young children. \nWhile many states (AK\, AZ\, CO\, CT\, ID\, IN\, KS\, MI\, MN\, NM\, OK\, TX\, WI\, and VA) currently use these standards to promote professional competency and infant mental health\, there is much room for improvement in all states.  This webinar promoted infant mental health through workforce development\, policy\, education\, and ultimately\, systems change\, as well as the role some foundations are playing.

SUMMARY:Investing in Interprofessional Team-Based Education for Health Care Providers
DESCRIPTION:GIH Health Reform Resource Center \nWhen \nFriday\, April 27\, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern / 12:00 p.m. Central / 11:00 a.m. Mountain / 10:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho \n\nGeorge Thibault\, The Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation\nFrederick Chen\, Bureau of Health Professions\, Health Resources and Services Administration\nMalcolm Cox\, Veterans Health Administration\nMaryjoan Ladden\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\n\nWhat \nHealth professions have historically provided classroom and clinical experiences that focus on learning a specific profession to ensure that its graduates are competent and trained in providing care for patients. However\, health care reform requires changes in care delivery\, with a focus on interprofessional\, team-based care. \nTo advance the team-based practice approach providers must be informed and trained properly to meet the capacity and quality that the transformed delivery system will demand. Interprofessional education can create a cadre of trained providers who are ready to engage in team-based care within a culture that supports collaboration. Key considerations include: developing interprofessional faculty training\, disseminating resource information to educators and students\, identifying areas of research and evaluation necessary to support this approach\, communicating the value of the work\, and creating and supporting new collaborative practice models to make it happen. \nIn this webinar\, participants discussed the importance of interprofessional team-based education in transforming the health care delivery system and learned more about funders already supporting this work. \n**This webinar was made possible by generous contributions to the GIH Health Reform Resource Center Fund.

SUMMARY:Returning the Mouth to the Body: Integrating Oral Health and Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:The United States continues to struggle with widespread and untreated dental disease in what the Surgeon General has dubbed a “silent epidemic.” Children and adolescents\, low-income families\, and ethnic minorities are particularly vulnerable and continue to experience the heaviest disease burden. Unfortunately\, barriers to treatment and continuous care persist\, requiring new and innovative approaches to increasing access to quality care. A concept at the forefront in many circles is to coordinate and even integrate oral health into primary care\, reversing the traditional divide between medical and dental care that has essentially separated the mouth from the whole of the body. \nTo further the discussion amongst funders on this timely topic\, Grantmakers In Health (GIH) hosted an Oral Health Issue Dialogue\, Returning the Mouth to the Body: Integrating Oral Health and Primary Care\, on April 17\, 2012 in Washington\, DC. This one-day meeting helped reinforce the case for integrating oral health into primary care\, but will also explore theoretical models for integration\, as well as real world applications. The Issue Dialogue will also examine the current opportunities in health care reform and existing federal policy for integrating care. Using this information\, participants will engage in active dialogue to determine what next steps need to be taken and funders’ roles in supporting this work. \nThe program will examine various paths to integration\, including: \n\na look at evolving oral health models and what can be learned from behavioral health models currently being used;\nopportunities for increased integration within the framework of health reform and federal policy; and\nexamples of how oral health has integrated successfully into primary care.\n\nAlong with these topics\, the Issue Dialogue provided ample opportunities for funders to collaborate and discuss their role in promoting this work. \nRelated Content\n\nReturning the Mouth to the Body Agenda – PDF document\, 108 KB

SUMMARY:Addressing Obesity: Foundation Opportunities to Leverage The Weight of the Nation
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Grantmakers In Health and the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders \nWhen \nThursday\, April 12\, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / 12:00 p.m. Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho \n\nAliya Hussaini\, Michael & Susan Dell Foundation\nLoel Solomon\, Kaiser Permanente\n\nWhat \nThe United States is in the midst of a public health crisis fueled by an epidemic of obesity. With consequences far greater than any disease in recent memory\, obesity affects 97 million Americans. Chronic conditions related to obesity\, including type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease\, consume 80 percent of our nation’s health care costs. \nIn response\, Kaiser Permanente\, the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation\, the Institute of Medicine (IOM)\, the National Institutes of Health\, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have joined HBO to launch The Weight of the Nation\, one of the country’s largest public health campaigns on obesity to date. \nBy building public awareness and engagement\, The Weight of the Nation project is designed to accelerate efforts to prevent and eliminate obesity across the United States. The campaign will create opportunities for community engagement\, collaboration\, advocacy\, and partnerships aimed at combating obesity and producing demand for healthier environments. \nThe campaign centerpiece is a four-part film series that will premiere on HBO in May 2012. Each film examines the obesity epidemic from a unique point of view\, from Consequences and Choices to Children in Crisis and Challenges. In addition\, a variety of free materials will be made available to the public\, including a related series for children; targeted shorts; screening kits; and web\, print\, and social media resources. The screening kits\, available in English and Spanish\, will contain the films and IOM-developed discussion guides for hosting independent screening events and inspiring sustained community obesity prevention. \nRelated Content\n\nWeight of the Nation Presentation – PDF document\, 1154 KB

SUMMARY:2012 Annual Meeting on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Agenda \nGIH’s 2012 annual meeting theme Health and Equity for All reflects Healthy People 2020’s vision of good health for Americans across the life course. \n\n\n\n2012 Annual Meeting Brochure\n2012 Annual Meeting Registration Form\n\n\n\n  \n\nMEETING REGISTRATION \nRegistration fees are now $825 for GIH Funding Partners and $1\,300 for non-Funding Partners. \n\nHOTEL INFORMATION \nBaltimore Marriott Waterfront\n700 Aliceanna Street\nBaltimore\, MD 21202 \n\nPRECONFERENCE SESSIONS\nWednesday\, March 7: 1:00 – 4:00 P.M. \nBuilding a Better Mousetrap: System Reform to Improve Care\nTransforming health systems to better meet the needs of patients will require changes to strengthen delivery of care for those who have good access to care\, as well as to improve care for those who find it harder to obtain timely and effective services. Foundations are well-positioned to help. In this preconference session\, we will hear from leading thinkers and doers about their vision for a redesigned delivery system and prospective roles grantmakers can play in accelerating change. This is a unique opportunity for funders to talk with their colleagues about their current challenges\, concrete next steps\, and promising new directions for the field of health philanthropy. \nReading for Life: Early Childhood Literacy and Health\nFor far too many children\, particularly those in low-income families\, learning to read is a major challenge\, placing them at increased risk for high school dropout\, criminal activity\, incarceration\, unemployment\, and long-term poverty. Reading ability is also the strongest individual predictor of adult health status and is often related to child health issues such as developmental problems and frequent school absence due to illness. Nearly all children can become successful readers\, especially when they receive targeted\, developmentally appropriate help early on. In this preconference session\, we will examine research linking early childhood literacy to health; promising interventions involving children\, parents\, teachers\, and pediatricians; and policy changes that would help move this work forward. \n\nPLENARY SESSIONS \nIs Equity an Attainable Health System Goal?\nWednesday\, March 7: 4:30 – 6:00 P.M.\nDifferences\, disparities\, and inequities are found throughout thehealth care system. Many provisions of the Affordable Care Act are built around the goal of promoting equity. Alan Weil\, executive directorof the National Academy for State Health Policy\, will address the challenges of defining\, promoting\, and achieving an equitable health system. He will draw upon his work with states pursuing health equity\, as well as national experience working with health system leaders. \nLeading with Equity for America’s Tomorrow\nThursday\, March 8: 9:00 – 10:00 A.M.\nGuided by a commitment to advance economic and social equity\, Angela Glover Blackwell founded PolicyLink in 1999. Now the organization is a leading voice that uses public policy to improve access and opportunity for low-income people and communities of color. As the face of the nation changes and minorities become majorities\, new challenges arise. Ms. Blackwell will discuss equitable and inclusive policy agendas\, the wisdom and voice of tomorrow’s leaders\, and the leadership needed from philanthropy. \nPrivate Industry and Public Health\nFriday\, March 9: 9:30 – 10:30 A.M.\nMany who are working to increase healthy living and active living seethe food industry as a natural ally. Others view it as the opposition. Derek Yach\, senior vice president for global health and agriculture policy at PepsiCo\, will make the case for collaboration between the public and private sectors. He will share his thoughts on what PepsiCo sees as its role in public health issues and where there are opportunities for partnership. \n\nSITE VISITS \nWednesday\, March 7: 9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. \n\nHonoring Diversity: Quality\, Patient-Centered Care at Chase Brexton\nNeighborhood Hazards and Health: A Tour of Cherry Hill\n\nThursday\, March 8: 2:00 – 5:00 P.M. \n\nB’more for Healthy Babies\nMainstreaming CAM: Implications for Policy and Practice\n\n\n  \nMARKETPLACE \nOrganizations attending the 2012 GIH annual meeting are invited to participate in the Marketplace\, which showcases grantmakers’ most recent work\, publications\, and other relevant materials.

SUMMARY:2012 GIH Annual Meeting Site Visits
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 7: 9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. \nHONORING DIVERSITY: Quality\, Patient-Centered Care at Chase Brexton\nChase Brexton Health Services is the country’s first historically lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender health center to become a Federally Qualified Health Center. From its beginning as a volunteer-run health clinic\, it has honored diversity and provided quality\, patient-centered care. Site visit participants will learn how\, with support from funders\, the center has expanded and innovated. It now has four locations offering integrated behavioral and primary care\, pharmacist-led support and education for patients with HIV/AIDS and other chronic diseases\, substance abuse services\, and dental services. \nNEIGHBORHOOD HAZARDS AND HEALTH: A Tour of Cherry Hill\nSouth Baltimore’s Cherry Hill neighborhood has spectacular views of the harbor\, ample park land\, and is bounded by the Patapsco River. Residents also live with industrial zoning\, electrical generators\, a city trash facility\, rail lines\, and factories. Like many low-income communities and communities of color\, Cherry Hill has many assets but is struggling for health amidst multiple environmental hazards. This site visit will offer a firsthand look at the environmental health and justice challenges residents face on a daily basis. It will also include discussion of neighborhood conditions and opportunities to address environmental hazards\, attract development and reinvestment\, and create a healthier future. \nThursday\, March 8: 2:00 – 5:00 P.M. \nB’MORE FOR HEALTHY BABIES\nBaltimore babies die at a rate that is among the worst in the United States. In response to this public health crisis\, corporate\, nonprofit\, and government leaders are collaborating across institutions and neighborhoods to reduce infant mortality and improve the health of Baltimore families. This site visit will introduce funders to B’more for Healthy Babies\, which brings together parents\, providers\, and policymakers to transform an often-fragmented health care system and reach families that are hardest to serve. The tour and discussion will focus on Baby Basics\, a prenatal health literacy program for pregnant mothers\, and Reading for Health\, a plan to incorporate literacy into existing maternal and child health systems\, including prenatal home visiting programs\, WIC clinics\, and Infants and Toddlers programs. \nMAINSTREAMING CAM: IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY AND PRACTICE\nHealth care consumers are increasingly interested in options that add to the quality\, safety\, and effectiveness of their care. The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)\, also known as integrative health\, is viewed as one way to achieve those goals. As the popularity of CAM grows\, so does the demand for both diverse services as well as easy and equitable access. Site visit participants will travel to The Institute for Integrative Health for an interactive panel discussion and gain a deeper understanding of policy issues related to holistic health and healing\, as well as how and why funders might support this work. There will also be an experiential component during which a variety of CAM techniques will be demonstrated.

DESCRIPTION:1:00 – 4:00 P.M.  \nBuilding a Better Mousetrap: System Reform to Improve Care \nTransforming health systems to better meet the needs of patients will require changes to strengthen delivery of care for those who have good access to care\, as well as to improve care for those who find it harder to obtain timely and effective services. Foundations are well-positioned to help. \nThis GIH annual meeting preconference session featured leading thinkers and doers\, who shared their vision for a redesigned delivery system. \n\nJoseph McCannon\, Senior Advisor to the Administrator\, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\nKaren Davis\, President\, The Commonwealth Fund\nJoshua Sharfstein\, Secretary\, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene\nSusan Sherry\, Deputy Director\, Community Catalyst\n\n  \nReading for Life: Early Childhood Literacy and Health \nReading ability is the strongest individual predictor of adult health status. But for far too many children\, particularly those in low-income families\, learning to read is a major challenge associated with child health issues such as developmental problems and frequent school absence because of illness. Kids with reading difficulties are at increased risk for high school dropout\, criminal activity\, incarceration\, unemployment\, and long-term poverty. Nearly all children can become successful readers\, especially when they receive targeted\, developmentally appropriate help early on. \nThis GIH annual meeting preconference session examined research linking early childhood literacy to health\, promising interventions\, and policy changes that would help move this work forward. Session speakers included: \n\nJudith Meyers\, President and CEO\, Children’s Fund of Connecticut\nRalph Smith\, Senior Vice President\, The Annie E. Casey Foundation\nGabriella Conti\, Assistant Professor\, Irving B. Harris School of Public Policy\, University of Chicago\nBarry Zuckerman\, Professor\, School of Medicine\, Boston University\, and Chair\, Department of Pediatrics\, Boston Medical Center\nLaura Bailet\, Executive Director\, Nemours BrightStart\nAnn Segal\, Senior Philanthropic Advisor\, Disadvantaged Children and Families\, Wellspring Advisors\, LLC\n\n
