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.

SUMMARY:Children's Access and Coverage
DESCRIPTION:Children’s health funders have witnessed a great deal of federal and state policy change in the last few years\, the effects of which are not yet fully known or understood.

SUMMARY:How Can Metrics Inform and Advance Healthy Communities?
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC \n \nIn recent years\, the community development and health sectors have begun to align efforts to invest in affordable housing\, health clinics\, grocery stores\, child care centers\, and other initiatives to improve the health and well-being of low-income communities. However\, assessing the impact of these investments has been difficult because of the limited availability of data at the neighborhood level. \nThis strategy session\, How Can Metrics Inform and Advance Healthy Communities?\, addressed how community metrics can be used to improve health outcomes. The convening\, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, brought together funders and practitioners in fields such as health\, community development\, and housing to explore new tools to measure the health impact of community investments\, hear about strategies for fostering partnerships between philanthropy and the community development sector\, and network to support cross-sector collaboration. \nHow Can Metrics Inform and Advance Healthy Communities? took place from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday\, December 4\, 2015\, at the Barbara Jordan Conference Center at The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington\, DC. \nSupport provided by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation \n\nWatch opening remarks from Annie Donovan\, Director of the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund\nReview the Storify recap\nContinue the conversation on Twitter at #GIHmetrics\n\n\nMetrics Tools \n\nAARP: Livability Index\nWilder Research: Metrics for Healthy Communities\nLow Income Investment Fund: Social Impact Calculator\nNeighborWorks America: Success Measures\nU.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development:\n\nHealthy Communities Assessment Tool (San Diego\, CA)\nHealthy Communities Assessment Tool (Providence\, RI)\n\n\nBuild Healthy Places Network: Measure Up\n\nAdditional Materials \n\nBuild Healthy Places Network Video\n\nRelated Content\n\nHotels near Barbara Jordan Conference Center – PDF document\, 112 KB\nAgenda: How Can Metrics Inform and Advance Healthy Communities? – PDF document\, 128 KB\nUsing Data to Address Health Disparities and Drive Investment in Healthy Neighborhoods – PDF document\, 692 KB

SUMMARY:Behavioral Health Equity: Advancing Systems Change
DESCRIPTION:The Westin Georgetown | Washington\, DC \n \nThis strategy session was part of the 2015 Fall Forum. \n8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nEvery community is affected by addiction and mental health issues. Although there is growing recognition of the importance of addressing substance use\, mental illness\, trauma\, and emotional well-being\, approaches and systems are too often siloed and disparities persist. \nThose focused on adverse childhood experiences\, justice-involved youth\, integrated care\, the opioid epidemic\, and other critical issues joined together to discuss tactics and explore common questions\, including: \n\nWhat are the emerging trends and key opportunities for advancing behavioral health?\nHow can funders leverage the Affordable Care Act\, Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity law\, and other timely policies to accelerate change?\nWhere can philanthropy better align and coordinate efforts to improve the continuum of prevention\, early intervention\, treatment\, and recovery supports?\n\nThis timely conversation helped funders map out behavioral health approaches\, forecast future scenarios\, and plan for the next phase of work. Participants explored potential areas for collaboration and emerged with new ideas\, contacts\, and concrete action steps to effectively advance systems change at the local\, state\, and national levels. \nAs part of this meeting\, Michael Botticelli\, Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy\, delivered the third annual Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture which is available as a GIH Podcast. \nSupport provided by Conrad N.

SUMMARY:Crafting Media Strategies that Accelerate Policy Change
DESCRIPTION:The Westin Georgetown | Washington\, DC \n \nThis strategy session was part of the 2015 Fall Forum. \n8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nMedia communications offer a powerful tool for amplifying advocacy messages\, targeting influential audiences\, building public will\, and influencing key decisionmakers. Technological advances have led to a proliferation of media platforms\, simultaneously expanding the reach\, flexibility\, and complexity of media advocacy. This strategy session examined how the strategic use of media can expedite health policy objectives and will consider how funders can optimize their media investments. When and how should media communications be incorporated into an advocacy strategy? What capacities do funders and grantees need to develop in order to use media most effectively? How can funders leverage the power of media without draining their grantmaking budgets?
