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:2021 Fall Forum
DESCRIPTION:2021 Agenda \nThe 2021 virtual GIH Fall Forum provided policy-engaged funders with information on current issues\, access to leading thinkers\, and connections with grantmaking peers. \nWelcome Session & Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\nNovember 15\, 2021 \nDr. Alice Huan-mei Chen\, Chief Medical Officer of Covered California presented the Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\nView the recording \nDesigning a Roadmap for an Equitable Post-COVID-19 Recovery\nView the recording: \n \n  \nNetworking Session / Get to Know Your Colleagues\nNovember 16\, 2021 \nBuilding Momentum to Advance and Institutionalize Equity\nNovember 17\, 2021 \nThere is growing awareness of the structural inequities driving health disparities in the United States\, which has led to new policies\, programs\, and people focused on health equity. At the same time\, the country remains divided on many issues\, and there is an increasingly vocal resistance to centering equity and structural discrimination in conversations about health. Given the complexity of the current moment\, how can philanthropy help communities create a new normal through initiatives that are designed to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to obtain their highest level of health?  In this action-oriented programming series\, participants will discuss how to: move from crisis response to long-term recovery in ways that advance equity; use narrative change as a tool to shift policy; and engage board leadership to incorporate equity as a priority in foundation programming and operations. \nSession 1 Recording \n \nSession 2 recording \n \nFrom Crisis to Care: Decriminalizing Mental Illness and Addiction\nNovember 18-19\, 2021 \nFor far too long\, behavioral health crises have been treated as a criminal justice problem instead of a public health issue. As a result\, jails and prisons have become our largest psychiatric facilities and communities of color have been disproportionately harmed by the criminalization of mental illness and drug use. Across the country\, there are growing calls to reform our crisis response systems by prioritizing harm reduction; implementing alternatives to incarceration; and utilizing mental health providers\, not law enforcement\, as first responders to behavioral health challenges. Policy and practice changes at the local\, state\, and federal level are redesigning crisis systems to respond to behavioral health needs more effectively and equitably. In this programming series\, participants will hear about community-centered decriminalization efforts; explore lessons learned from partnership work; and discuss how philanthropy can best support equitable and sustainable strategies \nSession 1 Recording \n \nSession 2 Recording \n \nSession 3 Recording \n \n40 Years and Future Focused: GIH’s New Strategic Plan\nNovember 19\, 2021 \nView the recording

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

SUMMARY:Standing Together: Philanthropy's COVID-19 Relief Funds and Immigrant Communities
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees \nThe COVID-19 global pandemic has been one of the most consequential events in the last decade\, wreaking havoc on families\, communities\, and the economy. As businesses were forced to close or scale back\, wage and job loss hit brown and Black communities particularly hard\, including immigrants who are overrepresented in hospitality\, agriculture\, domestic work\, and other industries. In response to this economic crisis and the fact that the federal government does not provide pandemic benefits to undocumented families—despite their participation in the labor market—philanthropy and state and local governments stepped in to fill the gap. Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) recently commissioned a study to analyze the efforts of philanthropy to support immigrant communities via relief funds. This webinar featured a dive into the findings and a discussion on how foundations can prepare for future relief efforts. Speakers included Sharon Bush of the Grand Victoria Foundation\, Alice Cottingham of Alice Cottingham & Associates\, Eric Edi of AFRICOM\, project consultant Althea Gonzalez\, and Laine Romero-Alston of Open Society Foundations. \nPlease visit GCIR’s resource page to access the report and webinar recording.

SUMMARY:Nutrition Incentives: Lessons and Opportunities to Improve Healthy Food Access
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Sustainable Agriculture and Food System Funders \nAccess to healthy food is an important social determinant of health. Over the past decade\, nutrition incentive programs that match federal SNAP dollars to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables have grown rapidly and proven to be a critical pathway to improving healthy food access. New streams of federal support that require local matching funds coupled with a surge in SNAP enrollment during the pandemic have presented important opportunities for public-private partnership. \nThis webinar discussed how these effective nutrition incentive programs have enabled vibrant public-private partnerships across the country\, the current state of the field and research\, and the opportunities for health funders to leverage these opportunities to improve healthy food access. Speakers included Mini Kahlon of UT Austin Dell Medical School and Factor Health\, Erica Raml of Fair Food Network\, and Amy Yaroch of Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition. \nPresentation Slides: \nNutrition Incentives Presentation \nPresentation:

SUMMARY:Advancing Social Connections for All
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nIn recent decades\, rates of social isolation among people of all ages have soared\, with profound impacts on health and well-being. Far from being a personal choice\, social isolation stems from community designs and systemic injustices that keep people and neighborhoods apart. We must reshape our communities in ways that support meaningful social connection among residents\, improve trust between neighbors\, and strengthen an overall sense of belonging and community. \nA recent report by Healthy Places by Design\, Socially Connected Communities: Solutions for Social Isolation\, offers five recommendations for creating socially connected communities\, starting with public spaces\, transportation\, and housing. \nThis discussion covered how philanthropic leaders can support the redesign of community-level systems to advance meaningful social connections. Speakers included Amy Gorn of Mat-Su Health Foundation\, Sharon Roerty of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, and Risa Wilkerson of Healthy Places by Design.

SUMMARY:Preparing for the End of the Public Health Emergency: State Strategies for Coverage Retention
DESCRIPTION:The end of the COVID-19 federal public health emergency (PHE) presents the single largest health coverage transition event since the first open enrollment of the Affordable Care Act. Currently\, states are required to refrain from terminating Medicaid coverage based on a change of circumstance. Upon the end of the PHE (slated to expire on October 17\, 2021)\, states will resume their renewal processes for Medicaid enrollees\, generating an enormous redetermination event and leading to unprecedented system churn related to Medicaid coverage termination and eligibility transitions between Medicaid and the Marketplace. Given the dramatic increase in Medicaid enrollment during the pandemic\, the potential loss of coverage for millions of Americans is significant. This webinar explored the key issues that states will face at the end of the PHE and strategies that are being designed to ensure families no longer eligible for Medicaid will not go uninsured. Speakers included Patti Boozang of Manatt Health Strategies\, Sarah Hatton of the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services\, and Heather Howard of State Health and Value Strategies at Princeton University. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nPreparing for the End of the Public Health Emergency State Strategies for Coverage Retention \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Engaging Faith Communities to Improve the Health and Well-being of Communities of Color
DESCRIPTION:Faith leaders play a significant role in their communities\, offering comfort\, guidance\, and leadership to congregants and connecting community members to valuable health-related resources and information. Across the country\, clergy are leading local efforts to support their congregants and communities\, including many who are at high risk of COVID-19 infection\, but are understandably skeptical of the health care system. \nThis webinar discussed how the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC)\, by partnering with AARP and others\, has worked with faith leaders and community-based organizations in Louisville\, Kentucky to build trust in the health care system and improve health outcomes. Speakers included Reverend Adrian Baker of Christ Way Baptist Church\, Elder Angela Overton of C-TAC\, and Tihisha Rawlins of AARP. \nWebinar Recording: \n \nPresentations: \nC-TAC Powerpoint Presentation \nAARP Powerpoint Presentation \nAdditional Resources: \nC-TAC Blueprint: Faith Community Engagement

SUMMARY:Rural Health Leadership Group
DESCRIPTION:During this fourth conversation in the GIH leadership series on rural health\, we learned about key resources available for rural communities through the American Rescue Plan. \nChad Parker\, Acting Administrator for the Rural Housing Service at USDA Rural Development\, detailed RD’s Emergency Rural Health Care Grants. Although the due date for these funds is coming up on October 12\, many rural stakeholders can still field viable applications\, especially for Track 1 of the program. Chad also noted the availability of funds for refinancing single family home loans\, an important tool for rural families facing financial impacts of the pandemic. Funders could refer potential applicants and other stakeholders to their state’s Rural Development Director; there may also be ways funders could provide matching resources or support for the completion of applications. \nTom Morris\, Associate Administrator for Rural Health Policy at HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy\, discussed their upcoming $52 million funding opportunity for rural health workforce initiatives. Broadly\, the program will support cross-sector network development around healthcare workforce initiatives\, including tracks for CHWs\, paramedicine\, HIT/Telehealth\, and respiratory therapy/care coordination. ORHP is finishing the program design and rural stakeholders are invited to an outreach call on 9/29 (see flyer attached). We encourage interested funders to work with their constituents to begin assembling local partners and a governance structure as needed to support cohesive and effective networks. If you have suggestions about the design of this program\, feel free to share them with me and we will pass them along to ORHP. \nThis was the fourth in a series of ongoing discussions to improve health in rural communities. If you are interested in participating in this candid conversation\, please reach out to Eric Stockton at estockton@gih.org for more information.

SUMMARY:COVID-19’s Long Tail: Developing a Mental Health Strategy for Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Center for Disaster Philanthropy\, Council on Foundations\, Giving Compass\, National Center for Family Philanthropy\, New York Life Foundation\, and Philanthropy New York \nCOVID-19 is leaving a long tail of psycho-social impacts from the variety of losses that people have experienced during the pandemic\, such as death\, illness\, housing and job insecurity\, and absence of in-person treatment. Policymakers and funders need a sustained and intentional strategy to address these challenges as part of a holistic post-pandemic recovery.  On this webinar participants explored how funding is sensitive to the disparate impacts of COVID-19 and discuss ways that funders can be advocates for the mental health needs of individuals\, families\, and communities that have suffered multiple losses due to weather-related disasters\, pandemics\, and economic suffering. Speakers included Tanya Gulliver-Garcia and Sally Ray of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and Heather Nesle of New York Life Foundation.  \nPowerPoint Presentation \nCDP-Mental-Health-Slide-Deck \nRecording

SUMMARY:Caring About Care Workers: Essential to the Future of Health
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic revealed both the power and the vulnerability of care workers as essential workers in our society. Through their largely invisible work\, these workers—who are often women of color and immigrants—support the health and quality of life of children\, older adults\, and people with disabilities\, while also allowing the families of those receiving care to remain in the workforce. Yet\, care workers’ low wages\, limited benefits\, and poor job quality put their health at risk and may limit their ability to play their crucial role in sustaining families\, communities\, and the economy. \nJoin us for an on-demand conversation featuring community-based leaders and funders about why investing in care workers is vital to the future of health and our economy. This panel also explores policy opportunities that can drive change in the nation’s pandemic recovery and innovative local practices that can lead to greater health\, racial\, and gender equity. Speakers include Nancy Maldonado of Chicano Federation of San Diego\, Teresita Sattar of Courage Co-op\, Jennette Shay of Price Philanthropies Foundation\, Aquilina Soriano of Pilipino Workers Center\, and Rachel Wick of Blue Shield of California Foundation. \nWebinar Recording:
