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: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:Looking Ahead: The New Administration’s Priorities on Children and Families’ Health Coverage
DESCRIPTION:Recent estimates confirm that the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying economic downturn are causing the most significant health insurance coverage losses in this country’s history. Children are particularly vulnerable\, as this past year has seen their uninsured rate rise by the largest annual increase in more than a decade. What changes and policy improvements are possible with the incoming presidential administration and the 117th U.S. Congress? \nThis webinar provided funders with a briefing on the national landscape of children’s health coverage\, the impact of COVID-19 on Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program\, and the projected priorities of the incoming administration. Presenters also shared their reflections on opportunities for funders to protect and defend coverage and access for children. Speakers included Joan Alker of Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families and Jennifer Haley of the Urban Institute. \nPresentation Slides: \nNew Administration’s Priorities Webinar 1-21-21 \nAdditional Resources from Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families: \nGeorgetown University’s Center for Children and Families interactive Children’s Health Report Card can be accessed here.  \nhttps://ccf.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Snapshot-Medicaid-kids-race-ethnicity-v4.pdf \nFamilies First Coronavirus Response Act Medicaid and CHIP Provisions Explained \n \nAdditional Resources from the Urban Institute: \nhttps://www.urban.org/research/publication/more-four-million-parents-young-children-were-uninsured-2017-18 \nhttps://www.urban.org/research/publication/racial-disparities-uninsurance-among-new-mothers-following-affordable-care-act \nhttps://www.urban.org/research/publication/almost-half-adults-families-losing-work-during-pandemic-avoided-health-care-because-costs-or-covid-19-concerns \nhttps://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/103105/uneven-recovery-leaves-many-hispanic-black-and-low-income-adults-struggling.pdf \nhttps://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/103335/forty_percent_of_black_and_hispanic_parents_of_school_age_children_are_food_insecure.pdf \nhttps://www.urban.org/research/publication/one-five-adults-immigrant-families-children-reported-chilling-effects-public-benefit-receipt-2019 \nWebinar Recording:
