SUMMARY:2018 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Agenda at a Glance \nThank you for attending the 2018 Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\, the largest gathering of health funders in the country! Event details including session materials are available on the GIH App and app website. \n\nCONFERENCE THEME\nNavigating Currents of Change\nHow does your foundation or corporate giving program deal with change? Do you advance purposefully\, adapting your theory of change as needed? Are you doing the same things you’ve always done and hoped you won’t run aground? Or—worst of all—are you adrift? \nIn this time of dynamic social change\, every health funder must face staying relevant and effective. Like a choppy sea\, the challenges come from multiple directions: demographic shifts that affect community dynamics; increasing levels of social inequality; rapidly changing public policies; a health care system in transition; and new change management tools and techniques—to name just a few. \nThe good news is that from small communities to the national arena\, funders are developing successful strategies to stay abreast of change. The 2018 annual conference is a time to share these strategies\, identify best practices\, and discuss new priorities. Together\, funders can find ways to move forward with conviction\, providing the leadership that communities urgently need. \nReflections\nEach year\, GIH asks health funders to share their thoughts on our annual conference theme. This year\, we’ve asked evaluators from foundations to reflect on Navigating Currents of Change. Click here to read their essays. \nRelated Content\n\nAffiliated Event Form – PDF Document\nHotels in Chicago – PDF document\, 144 KB\n2018 GIHac Agenda at a Glance – PDF document\, 227 KB

SUMMARY:Complex Care: Funding Big Problems on a Small Budget
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nThere is growing recognition that our current health care system often fails people with the most complex health and social needs. Promising approaches exist\, but Grantmakers\, particularly those funding at the local and regional levels\, often find the complexity of implementing and scaling new models to be challenging. This webinar taught strategies for funding improvement and innovation in complex care on a smaller budget. The discussion included an overview of The Blueprint for Complex Care (a joint project of the National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs\, the Center for Health Care Strategies\, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement); case studies on how and why to support patient advocacy\, data analytics\, clinical models of care\, cross-sector communication\, unconventional partnerships\, and workforce development; examples of evidence-based programs that are ready for replication and scaling; and advice on designing sustainable business models and implementation plans. Speakers included Mark Humowiecki of National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs and Loren Pogir of Transforming Care Partners. \nWebinar Recording

SUMMARY:When Hospitals Deliver More Than Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nProMedica\, a nonprofit health system serving 27 counties in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan\, has a strategic focus on addressing the drivers of health for patients and communities by concentrating on the social determinants. ProMedica’s model emphasizes the importance of catalytic economic development and collaboration\, in addition to adopting practices like screening patients for food\, housing\, and other basic needs. \nProMedica has also pioneered a food clinic (prescribing food as medicine)\, operates an inner-city grocery store\, and has focused on sparking economic reinvestment in Toledo\, Ohio. In October 2017\, ProMedica announced a $50 million investment focused on neighborhood revitalization. Recently\, the health system partnered with LISC\, a community development financial institution\, to create a $25 million loan pool to support projects in distressed communities. They also cofounded the Root Cause Coalition\, with the AARP Foundation\, to reverse and end systemic health inequities. \nThis webinar was a conversation with Randy Oostra\, President and CEO of ProMedica\, about how health systems translate understanding about the social determinants of health into action. \nWebinar Recording\nRelated Content \n\nWhen Hospitals Deliver More Than Health Care Slides – PDF document\, 5869 KB

SUMMARY:Rethinking Democracy through Electoral Reform
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation\, Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers\, Economic Opportunity Funders\, Environmental Grantmakers Association\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Health and Environmental Funders Network\, Neighborhood Funders’ Group\, Philanthropy New York\, United Philanthropy Forum\, and Women Donors Network \nThere are currently electoral reform efforts being mounted across the country to counter gerrymandering\, increase voter participation\, overcome zero-sum polarization\, and advance a reflective and representative democracy. Ranked choice voting (RCV) and Fair Representation are reforms that attempt to address these challenges and help build a culture of participation and broad engagement that allows diverse and marginalized communities to make a difference on issues that impact their lives. With RCV already implemented in dozens of cities—and RCV and Fair Representation being proposed at more local and state levels—this webinar explored the current landscape of these reforms\, highlighted benefits seen from them\, and showed how funders are promoting these efforts.

SUMMARY:Caregiving: What Communities Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Arizona Age-Friendly Network and Grantmakers In Aging \nWith few supports and services available to family caregivers\, their time\, resources\, health\, and well-being are increasingly strained. No matter where people are in the journey of family caregiving—just beginning to anticipate a need\, helping to coordinate a care transition\, or taking care of a family member full time—having a good framework to help guide both caregivers and communities makes the process easier and will significantly improve health outcomes for care recipients and caregivers alike. This webinar was a conversation with Dana Marie Kennedy\, State Director of AARP Arizona\, and taught how communities can adapt to the needs of family caregivers and provide the resources needed to support people aging in place. \nRelated Content\n\nCaregiving Webinar Description Feb 2018 – PDF document\, 294 KB

SUMMARY:Policy Strategies to Reduce the Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
DESCRIPTION:A growing body of evidence suggests that sugar-sweetened beverages are a significant contributor to obesity and multiple chronic illnesses\, including diabetes\, heart disease\, and poor oral health.

This webinar covered the latest: the wide range of policy options being pursued\, the current state of sugar-sweetened tax campaigns and tax policy implementation\, the returns on investment sugar-sweetened beverage policy efforts have for foundations and their communities\, and how grantmakers of all sizes and levels of policy experience can become involved in efforts to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Harm Reduction Strategies in Behavioral Health Grantmaking
DESCRIPTION:Heightened attention to the opioid epidemic has led more health funders to consider integrating a broader range of strategies in behavioral health efforts.
