SUMMARY:It’s Time to Move: Physical Activity as Medicine
DESCRIPTION:In our current health system\, millions of Americans lack the appropriate assessment\, prescription\, referral\, and counseling for physical activity that would manage and even prevent many chronic illnesses. A national effort led by the Physical Activity Alliance is promoting policy and systems change to make physical activity assessment\, prescription\, and referral a standard of patient care.  “It’s Time to Move” is a multi-year\, multi-pronged effort\, engaging with government agencies\, non-governmental organizations\, health systems\, the payer community\, technology companies\, and other key stakeholders.  Participants learned of the current achievements and milestones\, the important next steps\, and opportunities for philanthropy to lead the effort to integrate physical activity into America’s healthcare system. Speakers included Liz Joy of Sequelae and Lore Health\, Cassandra Stish of Welld Health\, and Laurie Whitsel of the American Heart Association.  \nResources: \nHL7 Home page: https://confluence.hl7.org/ display/PC/Physical+Activity \nPhysical Activity FHIR IG: https://hl7.org/fhir/us/physical-activity/STU1/ \nPhysical Activity Alliance’s newsletter: Signup Form (constantcontactpages.com) \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nIts-Time-to-Move  \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Power Sharing: Redefining Power Dynamics in Communities\, Health Care Systems\, and Philanthropic Practices
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative (ECFC) \nAfter this session\, participants walked away with (1) concrete examples of power-sharing at multiple levels (community\, health care systems\, and philanthropy)\, including the obstacles and challenges to doing this well\, and (2) practical tools for funders to start or continue their own power-sharing journey. \nThis webinar was grounded in the experiences of Pediatrics Supporting Parents (PSP)\, a multi-year initiative seeking to transform pediatric well-child care to support children’s social and emotional development and strengthen early relational health. The panel spoke to PSP’s ambitious goal and approach toward transforming health care by centering parents\, families\, and clinicians to partner in systems change. The webinar offered examples and practical information about the obstacles faced by families\, clinicians\, and funders and how they have\, individually and collectively\, addressed challenges impeding effective power-sharing and trust-based philanthropy. \nResources: \n\nPSP Governance Structure \nPSP Governance Structure Plain Language\nPSP Governance Brief\nFESAT Tool\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Addressing Health-Related Social Needs Using a Social Justice Lens to Advance Health Equity 
DESCRIPTION:How can health-focused funders support efforts to integrate medical and social care? How can such efforts be tailored to the needs of populations suffering from inequities due to identity (e.g.\, race)\, region (e.g.\, rural areas)\, status (e.g.\, undocumented)\, and other factors in order to promote social justice and advance health equity? Funders can play important roles in facilitating partnerships\, knowledge exchange\, and resource sharing between key stakeholders across sectors. Cross-sector collaboration is essential to addressing the social and structural drivers of health and health inequity (e.g.\, structural racism\, inadequate resource availability\, inequitable financing\, and payment streams) across communities and health care delivery organizations.   \n Across public\, private\, and nonprofit sector partners\, funders can support holistic approaches to advance health equity. Bridging the Gap: Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care\, a five-year initiative funded by the Merck Foundation\, is a case exemplar of the role that funders can play in facilitating system change to advance health equity. The initiative focused on addressing diabetes-related health disparities by building holistic care systems to address individual medical and social needs and seeking policy changes that affect community resources and payment systems.   \nParticipants learned practical approaches to supporting collaboration among health and non-health care organizations to address social drivers of health across diverse contexts\, how confronting structural racism through payment reform can address social drivers of health\, and how philanthropic investments can advance policy to promote greater health equity.   \n Moderated by Laura Gottlieb of University of California\, San Francisco and Founding Co-Director of the Social Interventions Research and Evaluation Network (SIREN)\, our speakers included Marshall Chin of the National Program Office at the University of Chicago for the Bridging the Gap: Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care Initiative and the Chicago Center for Diabetes Translational Research; Kelly McGrath of St. Mary’s Health and Clearwater Valley Health; Monica Peek of the National Program Office at the University of Chicago for the Bridging the Gap: Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care Initiative and the Chicago Center for Diabetes Translational Research; and Catalina Sol of La Clínica del Pueblo. \nWebinar Recording

SUMMARY:Advancing Age-Friendly Public Health: Learnings from Michigan and Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Grantmakers In Aging \nThe public health sector’s focus on prevention has had a profound impact on longevity in the U.S.\, and yet\, historically and pre-pandemic\, the public health sector has not fully embraced efforts to improve the health and well-being of older adults. As the demographics of our population continue to shift\, public health should elevate healthy aging as a core public health function\, with a foundational focus on equity. \nSince 2017\, Trust for America’s Health\, with the support of The John A. Hartford Foundation\, has led the Age-Friendly Public Health Systems (AFPHS) movement to make the health and well-being of older adults a public health priority. This work is implemented in several states\, including Florida\, Michigan\, Mississippi\, and Washington. \nParticipants learned about efforts in Michigan and Mississippi\, where the Age-Friendly Ecosystem is expanding and partnerships are flourishing. Many of these efforts offer opportunities for further collaboration and ways for funders to get involved. Speakers included Clare Tanner of Michigan Public Health Institute\, Kina White of Mississippi State Department of Health\, Jessie Jones of Michigan Public Health Institute\, and Megan Wolfe of Trust for America’s Health.

SUMMARY:Farm Bill Platforms from the Field - Strengthening Food and Nutrition Security
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF) \nThe nutrition title of the farm bill authorizes several essential food assistance programs\, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)\, the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP)\, and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). The 2023 Farm Bill is a critical opportunity for Congress to improve these and other nutrition title programs and safeguard the right of every human being to eat and be nourished regardless of economic circumstances. \nLeaders from the field convened for a conversation with experts from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI)\, Fair Food Network\, and the Bipartisan Policy Center\, who provided insight into the current nutrition policy landscape in Congress\, the priorities each organization is advocating for in the 2023 Farm Bill\, and how funders can support efforts to strengthen food and nutrition security in communities across the country.

SUMMARY:Accelerating Healthy Aging for All Through Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Grantmakers In Aging \nThe field of impact investing has developed over more than five decades\, gaining traction as a lever for driving social change and equity\, and as a prudent investment strategy. Still\, impact investing is relatively new to many philanthropic funders\, which has led trustees\, staff\, and fiduciaries to ask how they could or should apply impact investing and broader social investing techniques to advance their missions and values. Leaders from the field convened for a conversation on how funders can leverage impact investing to advance their missions. Speakers included Deborah (Debby) Kasemeyer of Northern Trust\, Lisa Richter of Avivar Capital\, Candace Robinson of Capital Impact Partners – part of the Momentus Capital family\, and Yi Wei of Momentus Capital. \n

SUMMARY:State Policies to Improve Maternal and Infant Health
DESCRIPTION:Policy decisions made and implemented at the state level have a significant influence on the health of mothers and babies.

SUMMARY:CalAIM\, Street Medicine\, and Homeless Services
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Southern California Grantmakers and Funders Together to End Homelessness   \nThe California Department of Health Care Services is currently implementing California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM)\, a multiyear initiative intended to fundamentally alter how crucial health services are provided by reforming the state’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal)\, particularly for the at-risk populations that philanthropy supports. CalAIM will require significant investments in network infrastructure\, capacity-building\, and patient outreach and engagement to be successful.   \nThis webinar focused on the intersection of CalAIM and street medicine—an emerging movement to provide direct care services to homeless individuals in the community wherever they are\, as opposed to requiring treatment in clinic or hospital settings. The philosophy behind street medicine aligns well with CalAIM’s intention to prioritize individuals with complex needs and integrate Medi-Cal more seamlessly with other social service programs. Participants learned about implementation\, the experiences of practitioners in the field\, and ways philanthropy can be a collaborative partner in the process.   \nParticipants learned:  \n\nWhy the connections between health and housing are so fundamental; \nHow the state and various partners define street medicine; \nHow CalAIM can support street medicine\, and where additional clarity or support may be needed; and \nWhere philanthropy can be most useful\, especially regarding coordination of care\, cross-sector collaboration\, and research into true costs and best practices.   \n\nPowerPoint Presentation: \n\nHealth Funders Group Meeting: CalAIM\, Street Medicine\, and Homeless Services\n\nResources: \n\nStreet Medics Help Formerly Homeless Woman Rebound Video\nStreet Medicine Institute\nAll Plan Letter from State of CA Dept of Health Care Services\nCHCF Issue Brief on the All Plan Letter\nCHCF Work in this Space\nStreet Medicine Bakersfield\nStreet Medicine Teams Tackle the Homeless Health Care Crisis\, from CalMatters\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Promoting the Health and Well-being of Immigrant Workers in Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Economic Opportunity Funders\, Forefront\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrant and Refugees\, and Maine Philanthropy Center  \nAs discussed in Building Immigrant and Worker Power in Rural America\, immigrants and refugees add to the diversity of rural communities and help mitigate the negative impacts of a rapidly aging population while also stimulating local economies. The availability of work in manufacturing and agriculture has contributed to the considerable growth of immigrant populations in these communities\, with nearly 75 percent of all farmworkers in the United States being foreign-born. \nMany of these workers lack access to preventative health care\, may have limited access to transportation\, lack information about available health care services\, and fear discrimination and deportation. Additionally\, agricultural workers are particularly susceptible to infectious diseases because of the long periods of time they spend in close contact with other workers\, sharing transportation and housing with other workers or family members\, and moving from community to community for work. These poor health outcomes are in addition to the numerous migration-related and post-migration stressors that can impact the physical\, psychological\, social\, and spiritual well-being of immigrants and refugees. \nDuring this webinar\, we held a discussion with immigrant justice movement leaders on how they are working to protect the health\, safety\, and well-being of immigrant workers in rural communities. Speakers included Dan Torres of Evelyn & Walter Haas Jr. Fund\, Aura Aguilar of North Bay Jobs with Justice\, Monica Garcia of MHP Salud\, and Alexis Guild of Farmworker Justice. \nResources: \n\nPromoting Health and Wellbeing of Immigrant Workers in Rural American PowerPoint\n\nRecording:
