SUMMARY:Expanding Telehealth Equitably
DESCRIPTION:Telehealth brings health care directly to patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, federal and state government took actions to remove telehealth policy barriers\, which expanded remote health care access\, preserved supplies of personal protection equipment\, and decreased disease exposure for patients and providers. Much has improved over the course of the past year\, but inequities remain\, especially for patients with lack of access to broadband or with limited English proficiency. This timely conversation dives into the regulatory changes that have occurred\, the service expansions that were achieved\, and the future of those improvements. Participants learned telehealth’s limitations and explore how philanthropy can help make this service delivery mode more equitable for all. Speakers included Clese Elaine Erickson of the George Washington University Health Equity Workforce Research Center\, David Jordan of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund\, Marilyn Werber Serafini of the Bipartisan Policy Center\, and Connie Stewart of Humboldt State University. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nExpanding Telehealth Equitably \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Care for the Seriously Ill in Low-Income Communities
DESCRIPTION:Even in the best of pre-COVID times\, access to high quality care for those with serious illnesses is challenging. For those who are homeless\, living on low incomes or in disenfranchised rural communities\, or are otherwise vulnerable\, treatments and supports that effectively manage symptoms\, improve quality of life\, and reduce hospitalization are virtually nonexistent. Join us for a discussion of two trailblazing programs that are addressing the care needs of the most vulnerable and seriously ill. This session explored how each program works\, how palliative care can be effective in addressing disparities and social determinants of health\, and how grantmakers can play a vital role. Speakers included Janet Bull of Project ECHO – Four Seasons and Will Kennedy of CareOregon. \nPresentation: \nInnovations in the Carolinas 1- 7 \nCareOregon Presentation \nAdditional resources: \nhttps://https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2598743 \nhttps://https://catalyst.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/CAT.20.0004 \nhttps://https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/opinion/sunday/palliative-care-homeless-medicaid.html \nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:Roles for Health Funders in Ensuring the Equitable Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccine
DESCRIPTION:As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available\, it is imperative that the vaccine is equitably distributed. National guidance for equitable vaccine distribution has been developed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the National Academy of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine. However\, states will be primarily responsible for distributing vaccines\, including identifying priority populations\, identifying networks of providers who will administer vaccines\, developing data and reporting systems to track distribution\, and coordinating communications efforts to promote vaccine acceptance. In this interactive discussion\, funders learned more about the status of states’ implementation plans and how health funders can aid states in meeting the ethical and logistical challenges to equitable vaccine distribution during all phases of the vaccination effort. Speakers included Michael Fraser of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and Julie Morita of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nHighlighted Resources and Additional Material: \n\nUnderstanding Diverse Communities and Supporting Equitable and Informed COVID-19 Vaccination Decision-Making (NACCHO\, ASTHO\, NIHB\, AIM\, IVS)\nAddressing Hesitancy and Mistrust in Black and Latinx Communities (NAACP and Unidos US)\nLanguage to Improve Vaccine Acceptance (de Beaumont Foundation)\nBuilding Trust in and Access to a COVID-19 Vaccine Within Communities of Color and Tribal Nations (TFAH)\nVaccine Equity webinar (Health Forward Foundation)\nPublic Health Communications Collaborative resources\nEnvironmental Scan of Public Health Priorities (ASTHO)\n\nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Complex Needs Through a Health Equity Lens: What Can Philanthropy Actually Do?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nThe health and well-being of those who have faced a lifetime of structural racism are impacted much more strongly than other groups\, especially as they age; for example\, Black older people are dying from COVID-19 at 3.6 times the rate of older whites. Philanthropy has responded to many immediate needs\, but inequities will continue if the system of discrimination in the social determinants of health does not change. Strong philanthropic investment at the systems level will be required if we are to see fundamental changes. \nParticipants learned about specific efforts to link a systems approach with activities on the ground and to discuss examples of how local communities can make a difference in the lives of those that are usually left behind. Speakers included Carly Hare of Change Philanthropy and Kathryn Lawler of Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement. \nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:2020 Fall Forum: Better Health\, Stronger Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Better Health\, Stronger Democracy explored how health funders are promoting civic engagement\, protecting voter rights\, and engaging in post-census electoral redistricting. \nBetter Health\, Stronger Democracy Agenda \nPost-Census Redistricting: Ensuring Fair Representation\nMonday\, November 16\, 3:00 – 4:30 pm ET\nThe redistricting process that takes place after each decennial census has profound implications for the fairness of representational democracy\, determining electoral districts for most federal legislators\, all state legislators\, and many local legislators. With the quality and accuracy of the 2020 census in question and procedures for apportionment under debate\, this redistricting cycle promises to be particularly controversial. This session described redistricting activities and timelines\, examine existing and emerging threats to fair representation\, and explore how philanthropic organizations can best inform and influence redistricting decisions to support historically underrepresented communities. \n\nDay 1 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Kathay Feng\nPresentation by Amy Dominguez-Arms\nPresentation by Regina Bell\n\nWebinar recording: \n \nPromoting Voter Engagement and Protecting Voter Rights\nThursday\, November 19\, 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET\nAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic has recently focused public attention on access to the ballot\, people of color have faced systemic barriers to voting since our nation’s founding. Political disenfranchisement results in a loss of power—the power to elect representatives with shared values and the power to advance policy priorities\, such as investments in education\, criminal justice reform\, safe and affordable housing\, and access to health care. This session reviewed effective strategies for increasing voter participation through integrated voter engagement\, policy advocacy\, and litigation; consider philanthropic trends in support for these activities; and explore the role of health funders in the civic engagement ecosystem. \n\nDay 2 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Alexis Anderson-Reed\nPresentation by Tanya Clay-House\n\nWebinar recording: \n \nAdvancing Health through Civic Engagement: Health Funders Weigh In\nFriday\, November 20\, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET\nCivic engagement activities\, such as voting\, volunteering\, and community organizing\, are essential to the health of our democracy and a growing evidence base suggests these activities may also influence the health of individuals and communities. Health funders are increasingly recognizing that investments in civic engagement are necessary to advance population health goals related to health equity\, access to care\, and the social determinants of health. This facilitated discussion with health funders who have committed resources to civic engagement efforts explored why and how they have pursued these strategies\, review the processes used to make and monitor these funding decisions\, and consider the key lessons learned along the way. \n\nDay 3 Opening Slides\n\nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:2020 Fall Forum: Food for a Healthier America
DESCRIPTION:Food for a Healthier America examined current food access and security policy\, the gaps and challenges laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic\, the opportunities for positive policy change\, and philanthropy’s role in creating a more equitable and just food system. \nFood for a Healthier America Agenda \nWhat Now? Opportunities to Improve Food Access and Security Policy\nMonday\, November 16\, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET\nThe last year has seen significant challenges for communities and families being able to access healthy food. From efforts to reduce the federal food safety net to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the country is having to seriously examine its food policies. This session discussed the current state of federal food and nutrition policy\, the potential impact of the 2020 election on the policy agenda\, the implications for communities\, and the opportunities and challenges funders should be prepared to navigate moving forward into 2021 and beyond. \nPresentations: \n\nOpening Slides and Day 1 Overview\nPresentation by Stacy Dean\n\n \nAdvancing Together to Address Food Equity and Justice\nTuesday\, November 17\, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and the civil uprisings stemming from police violence have elevated the continued inequities in food access and security for communities of color. While the challenges these communities face are not new\, the events of 2020 have given these issues greater weight and urgency. Food is an urgent health challenge and an important social issue for Black\, Indigenous\, Persons of Color (BIPOC) communities. This session addressed the food needs of BIPOC communities; the opportunities to support equitable food policies; and ways philanthropy can authentically partner with BIPOC communities to champion policy changes\, both large and small\, that create a more equitable and just food system. \nPresentations: \n\nDay 2 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Kolu Zigbi\nPresentation by Ma’raj Sheikh\nPresentation by Michaele N. Turnage Young\n\n \nLearning from 2020: Investing in a Better Food System\nThursday\, November 19\, 1:00 -2:30 pm ET\nWhile it is easy to get lost in national trends and large systems change\, 2020 has laid bare the gaps in and inadequacies for our local and regional food systems. Whether it is the inability to transport healthy food to rural communities in need\, the challenges facing workers and smaller producers\, or examples of food waste\, it is apparent that investments are needed at the local level. This session focused on how funders of all sizes can move their grantmaking strategies further upstream to build a better system. \nPresentations: \n\nDay 3 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Richard Pirog\nPresentation by Abbey Piner\nPresentation by Marcus Coleman

SUMMARY:The Future of the Affordable Care Act
DESCRIPTION:In December 2019\, a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on Texas v. Azar held the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate unconstitutional and called into question whether the remaining provisions of the law could still stand. On November 10\, the Supreme Court of the United States heard an appeal to reverse that ruling. On this webinar\, Katie M. Keith\, faculty member and researcher at Georgetown University and Health Affairs contributing editor\, discussed the analysis of the lawsuit\, a summary of the November 10 oral argument\, and its potential implications for health coverage across the country. \nPowerPoint Presentation \nSupreme Court Debrief California V.

SUMMARY:Confronting the Health and Equity Challenges of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Health and Environmental Funders Network and Climate and Energy Funders Group \nCommunities of color and economically challenged communities have deep experience confronting multifaceted and interrelated challenges\, which can often fall outside funders’ siloed health\, social\, environmental\, or other objectives. Yet communities most impacted by climate change are building power\, forging critical alliances\, and generating community capital\, innovation\, and systems of mutual support. There are new solutions being pioneered for community health and resilience in the face of climate change and there are new funding strategies to support these efforts. This webinar featured stories and recommendations of community leaders driving this movement. Speakers included Kimberly Lyle of Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation\, Roger Perez of The Roy & Patricia Disney Family Foundation\, Liz Russell of Foundation for Louisiana\, Mona Sarfaty of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health\, Kirsten Shead of Milwaukee Water Commons\, and Taylor Thomas of East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice. \nThis webinar was part of the Health and Environmental Funders Network’s 2020 annual convening. \n \n

SUMMARY:Learning from New State Initiatives in Financing Long-Term Services and Supports
DESCRIPTION: Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nOne of the biggest challenges facing individuals\, families\, and policymakers is how to pay for long-term services and supports. Current federal policies do not adequately meet the needs of individuals and communities\, which has caused several pioneering states to move forward with innovative new approaches to financing these vital supports and services. Participants learned the efforts of six such states\, including the important lessons\, opportunities\, and challenges they have faced in moving reform initiatives forward. On this webinar\, leaders explored the role of philanthropy in pursuing systems reform at the local and state levels. Speakers included Marc Cohen of UMass Boston and Community Catalyst\, Ann Hwang of Community Catalyst\, Bea Rector of Washington State’s Home and Community Services Division and Aging and Long-Term Support Administration\, and Nina Weiler-Harwell of AARP California. \nPowerPoint Presentations: \n\nB.
