SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots between Transportation and Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with The Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities \nAs funders look for new ways to build healthy\, livable\, and equitable communities\, there is growing recognition of transportation as an important social determinant of health. Transportation is linked to multiple health outcomes such as access to health care\, rates of injury\, and levels of physical activity. Transportation is also linked to other upstream factors that shape health including housing\, employment\, and education. This webinar explored how foundations\, local communities\, and other cross-sector partners are working together to address the intersections of health and transit. Speakers included: Katy Smith of the Piedmont Health Foundation and Diana Williams of The Funders Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities. \nRelated Content\n\nPresentation: Connecting the Dots between Transportation and Health Equity – PDF document\, 5177 KB\nGreenlink Peer Comparison – 2014 – PDF document\, 738 KB\nThe Hardest Road: Philanthropic Approaches to the Evolving Field of Transportation Equity – PDF document\, 733 KB\nCreating Opportunities for People and Place Through Transit – PDF document\, 401 KB

SUMMARY:Going for the Win-Win: Exploring Approaches to Climate\, Health\, and Equity Co-Benefit Investments
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with the Health & Environmental Funders Network and Climate and Energy Funders Group \nAs recognition grows that climate change is a major health threat\, so too is recognition that climate action could have significant benefits for public health and overburdened communities (beyond reducing climate impacts). For example\, developing clean energy in low-income housing or expanding active transport (walking or cycling) and public transit may provide economic and health benefits to low-income people while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There is growing interest in “co-benefit” investments for their potential for high payoff: addressing several urgent societal needs at once\, engaging more partners and assets\, and accelerating solution strategies. \nCo-benefits grantmaking also presents challenges. Funders may encounter unfamiliar issues and partners with different priorities. They face choices about which and whose benefits\, costs\, and risks\, with partial data and unknowns. And co-benefits work is very much an innovation space. People are experimenting with metrics and methodologies\, ways of aligning diverse funding interests\, and processes to engage affected communities\, health\, and other key stakeholders. Getting better at co-benefits work is an important step towards bigger impact. \nThis webinar explored ways of thinking about climate\, health\, and equity co-benefit approaches. Speakers shared examples and experiences from co-benefits work\, reflecting on strengths\, limitations\, and lessons as groundwork for discussion. Speakers included: Jonathan Levy of Boston University School of Public Health\, Cecilia Martinez of the Center for Earth\, Energy and Democracy (CEED)\, Ben Russak of Liberty Hill Foundation\, and John Scicchitano of New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

SUMMARY:Chronic Absenteeism: What Are We Missing?
DESCRIPTION:Chronic student absenteeism is an important and often overlooked health issue facing schools and communities. Illness and poor health outcomes are leading factors driving chronic absenteeism\, and students that are chronically absent from school suffer significant academic loses that can negatively impact lifelong health. This webinar explained why chronic absenteeism is of interest to health funders\, how philanthropy and federal agencies are tackling the issue\, and how foundations and corporate giving programs can become involved in driving solutions. Speakers included: Hedy Chang of Attendance Works\, Susan Dawson of E3 Alliance\, Joaquin Tamayo of the U.S. Department of Education\, and Madge Vasquez of St. David’s Foundation. \nRelated Content\n\nChronic Absenteeism Webinar Slides – PDF document\, 3107 KB

SUMMARY:Community Health Needs Assessments that Advance the Social Determinants of Health
DESCRIPTION:The health care system continues to undergo dramatic shifts with the advent of the Affordable Care Act. Hospitals are under new pressure to lower costs\, improve health outcomes\, and advance health equity. Increasingly\, hospitals’ community health needs assessments (CHNAs) have been seen as vehicles to promote equitable communities and address the upstream factors that contribute to poor health. This webinar explored the range of strategies hospitals are using to incorporate the social determinants of health into CHNAs and discussed how funders can partner with hospitals to support these efforts. Speakers included: Matthew Ingram\, Independent Consultant\, Elizabeth Ripley and Melissa Kemberling of Mat-Su Health Foundation\, Yanique Redwood of the Consumer Health Foundation\, and Pamela Schwartz of Kaiser Permanente. \nFor more information: Kaiser Permanente Community Health Needs Assessment \nRelated Content\n\nCommunity Health Needs Assessments presentation – PDF document\, 5011 KB\n2016 Sonoma County Community Health Needs Assessment – PDF document\, 583 KB\nCan Hospitals Heal America’s Communities? – PDF document\, 3441 KB

SUMMARY:Care for All: Supporting Older Adults\, Family Caregivers\, and the Home Health Care Workforce
DESCRIPTION:New York\, New York \nReview a Social Media Recap \nCosponsored by Grantmakers In Aging and Grantmakers In Health \nProviding care for older adults with chronic\, disabling health conditions has entered a new chapter\, one with far-ranging implications for families\, communities\, health care\, and even the economy. Whether it is the 35 million Americans who are family caregivers or the 2 million professional home health care workers who are often underpaid women of color\, the current system does not adequately support the needs of those routinely providing extensive help with daily activities\, delivering complex medically-related services\, and coordinating health care and long-term services and supports. While there are a number of policy efforts and initiatives aimed at addressing the needs of caregivers and the ones they provide care for\, there is a great deal of work yet to be done. Philanthropy can play a critical role in driving solutions that affect nearly everyone in the communities they serve\, especially those who are most vulnerable and in need. \nGrantmakers In Health (GIH) and Grantmakers In Aging (GIA) hosted a strategic conversation that focused on how philanthropy can work with both the public and private sectors to meet the needs of caregivers\, older adults\, and the communities they work and live in. \nCare for All: Supporting Older Adults\, Family Caregivers\, and the Home Health Care Workforce took place on Monday\, July 18\, 2016 in New York\, New York\, at Philanthropy New York. \nSupport provided by the Archstone Foundation \n\nRelated Materials: \n\nAge-Friendly Communities: Cross-sector Collaboration at Work\nThe Health Care Neighborhood: Philanthropy’s Role in Aging Well\n\nRelated Content\n\nAgenda – Care for All – 2016 July Meeting in New York – PDF document\, 202 KB\nGail Hunt\, National Alliance for Caregiving – Caregiving in the U.S.: How Foundations Can Support Family Caregivers – PDF document\, 842 KB\nTerry Fulmer\, The John A.

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual Public-Private Collaborations in Rural Health Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2016 Agenda \nSince 2012\, the Public-Private Collaborations in Rural Health meeting has convened over 120 public and private foundations\, researchers\, and policy makers to discuss federal programs and foundation led-initiatives in rural areas. The meeting presents an opportunity to connect\, share\, and discuss how combined efforts can produce better outcomes for rural residents and communities. \nIn the spirit of collaboration and collective action\, partnerships formed from these meetings built the Care Coordination Aligned Funding Initiative in 2014 and have produced nine programs funded either by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy\, private foundation\, or both\, dedicated to improving outcomes in chronic disease through the coordination of care. During its 2015 meeting\, the group identified a need to tackle health equity through rural leadership. Over the last few months\, a coordinating committee has been collaborating with the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to develop a strategy to use federal investments to enhance existing foundation programs focusing on developing community leaders to advance health equity in rural communities. \nThe purpose of this fourth meeting was to strengthen current activities and leverage regional and national relationships between foundations\, researchers\, and federal partners. During the meeting\, participants heard from speakers from the Department of Health and Human Services\, Office of Minority Health\, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\, and other agencies. Participants also had the opportunity to network with peers and hear about rural activities initiated since the last meeting. \nThis meeting was cosponsored by Grantmakers In Health\, the White House Rural Council\, and the National Rural Health Association. \n\nMeeting Location \nWashington Court Hotel\n525 New Jersey Avenue NW\nWashington\, DC 20001 \nRelated Content\n\nSpeaker and Panelist Bios 2016 – PDF document\, 249 KB\nSustainability Framework Background Information – PDF document\, 377 KB\nThe Philanthropic Collaborative for a Healthy Georgia – PDF document\, 272 KB\nParticipating Foundations 2016 – PDF document\, 400 KB

SUMMARY:2016 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Agenda at a Glance \nSan Diego\, California \nThis was our best-attended annual conference ever and the largest gathering of health grantmakers in the country. \nThank you for being a part of it! \nCONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS \n\nAgenda at a Glance (pdf)\nActivities by Topic (pdf)\nTransportation Options – Coronado Island – PDF document\, 228 KB\n\n \nTHEME \nThe theme of the 2016 conference was Charting a New Course: Roadblocks\, Breakthroughs\, and Discoveries. Foundations are uniquely positioned to chart new courses as they seek to improve the health and well-being of individuals\, communities\, and the nation. As currents shift\, they are able to test new ideas and strategies\, engage a wide variety of partners\, take risks\, and learn from their failures. Achieving their goals requires constant monitoring\, refinement\, and\, sometimes\, an entirely new tack. \nThis year’s conference lifted up the spirit of learning from experience. Sessions focused on the challenging aspects of grantmaking\, as well as the a-ha! moments. Unsuccessful grants\, stubborn problems\, new strategies\, and inspired insights are all part of the process of taking risks\, striving to create real change\, and charting a course toward improved health. \n\nQuestions: \nPlease direct all questions regarding conference logistics to VRS Meetings & Events Inc. at 202.315.3296 or gih16@vrsevents.com.
