SUMMARY:Local Impact Investing Models for Health Conversion Foundations

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.

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.

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: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: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:

SUMMARY:The Long View: New Year\, New Practices
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:
