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:

SUMMARY:White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health - Funder Debrief Working Session
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Grantmakers In Health and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders  \nThe White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health\, the first such national convening in over 50 years\, and its associated national strategy present an important opportunity for the field to mobilize around the goal of ending hunger and increasing healthy eating and physical activity by 2030 to reduce the prevalence of diet-related diseases. The White House clearly indicated that philanthropy has an important role to play in helping the Administration meet these goals\, which will require strategic conversations\, investments\, and commitments from grantmakers across the country.  \n Sustainable Agriculture and Food System Funders and Grantmakers In Health hosted this call to identify key action steps funders can take in follow-up to the White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health. We walked through the blueprint\, identified areas of alignment and implications for philanthropy\, and determined next steps.  \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: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:
