  • Policy changes are needed to address health inequities, IBX forum speakers say

    Policy changes are needed to address health inequities, IBX forum speakers say

    [ad_1]

    Level the playing field.

    That was the message of the “Catalyzing Change” event hosted by the Independence Blue Cross Foundation on Tuesday at the Kimmel Center. Attempt to right the wrongs built up by years of racial and gender discrimination in the health care system, so that the next generation doesn’t have to deal with those same issues.

    It’s part of an ongoing effort to educate the public and emphasize to those who control the purse strings how critical this is.

    “The important thing is to level the playing field so everybody can participate,” IBX Foundation President Lorina Marshall-Blake said. “We have to find a way for them to all be at the table.

    “It shouldn’t matter your race, creed, gender, sexual orientation. Stop talking about what you’re going to do and do something. … Make sure those who don’t have it will have it.”

    Her remarks followed two panel discussions that detailed the barriers at the local and national levels. The first featured three health care professionals who talked about everything from the way health care workers are assessed, to the joys of working with people from birth to death, to the fact that only one penny of every dollar given philanthropically goes to nurses. 

    “I think we’re worth more than that given our value and our mission,” said Roberta Waite, dean and professor at Georgetown School of Nursing, who was joined on the panel by Eliza E. Heppner, acting Deputy Associate Administrator for the Health, Resources and Services Administration, and Dr. Leon McCrea II, vice dean for educational affairs at Drexel University. “We have inequity right now because that’s what we have designed.

    “That’s what our policies have to bear. We have an obligation to look at it.”

    Following that came a national panel featuring Anna Heard, senior policy analyst for the National Governors Association and Gindhar Maliya, senior policy officer, of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. They talked about the obstacles faced in overcoming inequity, especially in today’s polarized political climate.

    Roberta Waite, dean of Georgetown School of Nursing; Leon McCrea II, vice dean for educational affairs at Drexel University; Eliza Heppner, acting deputy health administrator for the Health Resources and Services Administration; and TaRhonda Thomas, a 6ABC reporter, take part in a panel discussion at the ‘Catalyzing Change’ health care forum hosted by the IBX Foundation on Tuesday.

    “Our policies have been fundamental to racial inequities dating back to slavery and Jim Crow,” said Maliya. “States are laboratories of democracy sometimes for better or worse.

    “Every state has increased access to health care and there’s evidence to show it is good investment. 

    “But when it comes to the focus on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) there is a concerted, very well-funded effort in this country to portray it as divisive, illegal and un-American. Our people are dedicated to show that’s a misconception. When DEI works, it has potential to benefit all of us.”

    Stephen P. Fera, executive vice president of public affairs at IBX, said things need to change now. He noted the IBX Foundation expects to have awarded more than $85 million by the end of the year, dating back to its inception in 2011. 

    “What we do with this is critical,” Fera said. “If we don’t, we’ll be having the same conversation three, five or more years from now with no better results for the health care system.

    “We’d better get busy.”

    Otherwise, the panels stressed, the playing field will continue being more and more uneven.

    NEWBURYPORT — Anna Jaques Hospital will award $100,000 in grant money over the next two years to 10 community-based organizations serving the health needs of area residents.

    The grants are part of the hospital’s Community Benefits Program to support programs that address community health priorities and help those facing the greatest health inequities within the hospital’s service area, according to a release from Anna Jaques.

    Residents of Newburyport, Amesbury, Haverhill, Salisbury and Merrimac will benefit from the funding. Anna Jaques is part of Beth Israel Lahey Health.

    The selection criteria for the grants included four major health priorities affecting the community that were identified during the hospital’s most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, completed in 2022: equitable access to care, social determinants of health, mental health and substance use, and chronic/complex conditions.

    “By supporting and investing in local organizations that share our goal in addressing the health needs of our region, we improve the quality of life for local residents while strengthening the communities that we serve,” Glenn Focht, M.D., the hospital’s president, said in the release.

    “We are proud to support these local organizations and the important work they do to reduce health disparities and inequities throughout our region,” he added.

    The following 10 nonprofit organizations will receive two-year grants of $5,000 per year, for a total of $10,000:

    Common Ground Ministries: This program provides basic services aimed at alleviating hunger and homelessness while being an advocate for those in need. The grant will help 90 to 100 people who the program serves each day.

    Mitch’s Place, Emmaus, Inc.: This temporary overnight emergency shelter provides adults with a bed, meals, and housing search and employment assistance along with help securing permanent housing and health and social services. The money will help the shelter serve the 400 people it assists annually.

    McKinney-Vento Program, Haverhill Public Schools: The grant will fund food programs, including food closets and a food pantry program, for families whose children attend Haverhill Public Schools and are experiencing homelessness. The program seeks to help an additional 40 students and up to 15% more families.

    Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, Youth Empowerment Series: This series provides violence prevention programs that teach students of all ages to lead conversations on healthy relationships and to make positive decisions. The money will fund expansion of the series into Newburyport, allowing the program to serve an additional 100 to 150 participants.

    Link House: Children and Teen Center for Help (CATCH): CATCH seeks to empower and support those ages 5 to 18 and their families across the region to understand and nurture their mental well-being. The funding will help to increase the number of young people served by 10%.

    Northern Essex Elder Transport (NEET): This volunteer driver program provides adults age 60 and older across the region with no-cost transportation to medical appointments. The funding will support the 4,000 rides provided to 500 people annually.

    Nourishing the Northshore: VEGOUT program: This program provides free fresh, locally grown produce to food pantries and senior centers across the region from June to October. The money will help provide 280,000 servings of food — a 55% increase from 2023.

    Our Neighbors’ Table: Wednesday Meal Program: The grant will assist this weekly community program based in Amesbury, which provides a hot, three-course meal served by volunteers or as carry-out orders to 300 people each Wednesday.

    The Pettengill House: Behavioral Event and Substance Support Team (BESST): The money will provide a social worker and support for people and families with mental health and substance abuse needs in Merrimac, Salisbury, Amesbury and Newburyport. The program assisted 462 people in 321 households in 2023.

    Sarah’s Place Adult Health Center: This senior adult day health program offers outreach and education to assist people in remaining healthy and independent in their own homes. The funding will help enroll an additional 25 to 50 participants in the program.

  • Amistades, Inc. Wins Grants and Contracts to Improve Latino Community Conditions

    Amistades, Inc. Wins Grants and Contracts to Improve Latino Community Conditions

    [ad_1]


    TUCSON, Ariz., October 10, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Amistades, Inc. (Amistades) is pleased to announce further recognition for its innovative approach to improve Latino community conditions in Tucson and Southern Arizona through three new projects enhancing citizenship attainment, health equity, and effective engagement.

    • Proyecto Ollin, awarded over 2 years for $250,000 by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), will allow Amistades to develop innovative approaches to address the unique barriers to naturalization driven by US-Mexico border proximity and the fear and apathy it creates for the expansive population of Mexican residents in Southern Arizona’s Pima, Cochise, and Santa Cruz counties. USCIS made 65 national awards for citizenship and integration programs. This Amistades award was the only one given in Arizona for innovation. 

    The project, named after the Aztec symbol for movement, will work to reach those citizen-eligible Mexican Legal Permanent Residents (LPRS) who have not pursued naturalization. In conjunction with the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, special focus will be placed on those who 1) have jobs that require mobility and/or non-traditional hours of operation, and 2) live in the most rural areas of the region. Mexicans remain the single largest group of foreign-born residents in the United States and represent more than 60% of all US Latinos.

    • Prevencion Sin Fronteras, awarded over 3 years for $565,668 by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith, and Family (GOYFF) will allow Amistades to expand its successful and indispensable trauma-informed youth substance use prevention program in Douglas, Arizona.

    Among other activities, this program implements El Renacimiento, an academically reviewed and published curriculum, created by Amistades, that focuses on Latino youth, to help them heal, grow, and thrive, by developing a positive cultural identity grounded in their indigenous history and culture.

    • Amistades will provide Training and Technical Assistance to Arizona Youth Partnership over one year for $10,000. This project speaks to the need for improved and expanded engagement with Latino stakeholders within the nonprofit ecosystem. It additionally recognizes Amistades’ institutional leadership in Arizona related to effective understanding of, and capacity building for, genuine partnership between the Latino community and mainstream society, leading to improved outcomes for Latinos.

    Amistades is a Latino-led, Latino-serving non-profit committed to race and equity issues in Southern Arizona through the provision of culturally responsive services, advocacy for social justice, and community empowerment. Amistades uses a culturally rooted intergenerational family approach to working with Latinos. The agency prioritizes addressing immediate issues, leads efforts that eliminate false narratives about Latinos, and develops system focused strategies that change the conditions that perpetuate inequities.

    “We remain true to our innovative, intergenerational, approach that recognizes and validates our community’s lived experiences and realities. It is heartening to see broader acceptance of our values and priorities. We are excited by these new partnerships, which recognize the importance of centering Latino people and culture for positive impact and emphasize nonprofits’ economic contributions to our community and society,” said Ricardo Jasso, Founder of Amistades.

    Safe States Alliance Strengthens Public Health Infrastructure With New CDC Award

    [ad_1]

    The CDC has awarded a five-year cooperative agreement to the Safe States Alliance to strengthen injury and violence prevention programs at State and Local Health Departments


    ATLANTA, August 21, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Safe States Alliance is proud to announce that it has been awarded the new “Creating Safer States by Advancing Health Equity, Injury, and Violence Prevention” award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), funded by its National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.

    This significant five-year cooperative agreement aims to bolster the injury and violence prevention (IVP) infrastructure and capacity of state health departments (SHDs) and local health departments (LHDs), by providing health equity and IVP technical assistance, training tools, and other essential resources.

    According to Richard Hamburg, executive director for Safe States, “This new cooperative agreement builds upon decades of prior federally supported work that has helped position Safe States to play a central role in developing and supporting the strong public health infrastructure required to effectively prevent injuries and violence and create safer, healthier communities.” 

    Hamburg further stated: “Injuries and violence are inequitably distributed across communities, primarily and adversely impacting vulnerable communities that have been historically marginalized. A central challenge to our organization is to elevate the field of IVP through an anti-racism and health equity lens. This award will allow us to continue to address or improve the factors that persist in economically and socially marginalized populations causing injury and violence-related health inequities.

    Through this renewed collaboration, Safe States Alliance solidifies its commitment to providing vital resources to public health departments nationwide. This award will enable the organization to offer technical support and training to help SHDs and LHDs adapt and improve their approaches to health equity and injury and violence prevention.

    Safe States Alliance is thrilled to continue supporting and strengthening public health infrastructure to prevent injuries and violence. The organization views this award as a launching pad for opportunities to better serve communities and create a ripple effect of positive change across the nation.

    Formed in 1993, the Safe States Alliance is the only national non-profit organization and professional association comprised of public health injury and violence prevention professionals representing all U.S. states and territories. Safe States’ mission is to strengthen the practice of injury and violence prevention and be the recognized leader and driving force in understanding and preventing injuries and violence, a leading cause of death for ages 1-64 in the U.S.

    SAN FRANCISCO, October 18, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC)’s new List of Top Non-Toxic Black-Owned Beauty Brands features entrepreneurs making safer beauty products for Black women, free of the toxic ingredients linked to breast cancer and health concerns that disproportionately impact Black women. This project brings health equity to the forefront by providing a database of clean beauty products to help Black women and girls live their healthiest lives and prevent breast cancer. CSC’s Top Non-Toxic Black Beauty Brands 2022 >  CSC’s Non-Toxic Black Beauty Product Database >  

    Released during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Non-Toxic Black Beauty Project focuses specifically on supporting Black women’s health because Black women face the highest breast cancer mortality rate of any racial or ethnic group in America. Beauty products marketed to Black women often contain the most toxic cosmetics ingredients, including chemicals linked to cancer. In fact, Black women who regularly dye their hair have a 60% increased risk of breast cancer, and those who use chemical hair straighteners are 30% more likely to develop the disease. By uplifting leading non-toxic Black-owned beauty brands and connecting Black women with products they can trust, CSC aims to combat toxic health disparities to help prevent breast cancer and other diseases. 

    The 80 small and medium-sized businesses who made the list raise the bar for ingredient safety and lead the movement to address the injustice of Black beauty by selling products free of CSC’s 241 “Do Not Use” Red List Chemicals of Concern in Cosmetics. CSC vetted all 700+ products included in the first-ever searchable database for safety and verified them to be free of harmful chemicals linked to health concerns like cancer, diabetes, early puberty, endometriosis, infertility, maternal health, pregnancy complications, and uterine fibroids. 

    “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our searchable database of non-toxic Black beauty products,” said Janet Nudelman, Director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a program of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners. “These leading Black entrepreneurs are making safer beauty products that won’t harm the health of Black women and girls. We hope that more companies will follow their lead and grow the clean Black beauty industry by selling non-toxic beauty and personal care products that Black women can trust.” 

    As Black women purchase and use more beauty products per capita than any other demographic, spending more than $7.5 billion dollars on beauty products a year and nine times more on hair products than the average consumer, toxic exposure from beauty products is of particular concern. 

    By eliminating toxic ingredients that negatively impact Black women, these companies have made a significant commitment to protecting their customers’ health and well-being. They are also helping to reduce the disproportionate toxic burden that Black women face from unsafe chemicals in beauty and other consumer products they use, which can help prevent the development of chronic diseases like breast and ovarian cancer. 

    The Non-Toxic Black Beauty Project is guided by an Advisory Committee made up of leading non-profit organizations and scientists working to improve Black women’s health. This project represents the first comprehensive effort to generate a list of chemicals of concern in Black beauty products that should be avoided by consumers, cosmetic manufacturers, and retailers.

    Bay Area-Based International Education Leaders Partner to Serve Diverse Youth at Home and Overseas

    [ad_1]


    SAN FRANCISCO, January 26, 2018 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Two leading Bay Area nonprofit organizations have launched a partnership to strengthen each of their work. Pairing the expertise of Global Glimpse in education for diverse high school-aged students with CFHI’s expertise in ethical global health programs, their first joint project invites CFHI alumni to accompany Global Glimpse students as Medical Fellows to three Latin American countries.

    Global Glimpse was born out of a need for high-quality global education in the United States. The organization operates on the belief that exposure to different countries, cultures and people provides important perspective and drives young people to take action to better their world together. GG delivers leadership and global education for high-school-aged students through after-school workshops that culminate in a leadership and service learning trip to Nicaragua, Dominican Republic or Ecuador.

    I’m thrilled to join forces with an organization that we have admired for so many years, in particular, their commitment to fostering understanding and collaboration among diverse students.

    Robin Young, Director of Programs & Operations

    Child Family Health International is a nonprofit NGO in consultation with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, facilitating rich experiences for students from the U.S. to learn what health systems abroad are doing to provide basic health services and support difficult-to-reach patients. Through ethical, fair-trade partnerships in 10 countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia, CFHI helps interdisciplinary health students at all levels to develop professionally and engage thoughtfully with communities in the Global South through global health education. CFHI alumni develop unique skills during their programs including an understanding of the social determinants of health and barriers to health access in resource-limited settings; an understanding of the cultural and ethical issues of working and learning within under-served populations; an understanding and commitment to professional behavior while working collaboratively across cultures, and much more.  

    As such, CFHI alumni are perfectly positioned to accompany Global Glimpse programs and help coordinate student wellness during these trips as Medical Fellows, an undertaking that represents the first joint project between the two organizations.

    “I’m thrilled to join forces with an organization that we have admired for so many years, in particular, their commitment to fostering understanding and collaboration among diverse students,” says Robin Young, director of programs and operations for CFHI. “This is a tremendous opportunity for our alumni that I know will enrich their personal and professional lives.”

    The Medical Fellowships offer attractive benefits including a stipend, room and board, Wilderness Training Certification and more. Beyond a job, this is an opportunity to change the lives of diverse young people from the U.S. by supporting the healthy and safe execution of programs that inspire students to become responsible global citizens who take action to better their world. This is an opportunity for individuals with a passion for global education and international exchange.

    CFHI alumni who are interested in applying should do so before the Feb. 19 deadline. Positions are competitive: read the full description and instructions to apply here: http://globalglimpse.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Global-Glimpse-Medical-Fellow-Job-Description.pdf.
