National Minority Health Month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the persistent health inequities and disparities that many communities face in the United States. It also underscores the importance of advancing health equity by working on a community level. At Takeda, we are taking a holistic approach to addressing health inequities by listening carefully to people in communities to understand their lived experiences to identify their most pressing needs. We come humbly and with curiosity to this important work, allowing the communities to lead us, not the other way around. Most importantly, the community’s voice is prioritized, elevated and sustained in order to create partnerships and take the actions needed to create a sustainable, self-sufficient infrastructure to advance health equity. Takeda's recently released Caring for Tomorrow: 2023 U.S. Community Impact Report showcases our network of community-focused health equity partners who have deep knowledge of the communities they serve, including the National Urban League, Partners In Health, Health Equity Compact, National Minority Quality Forum, Remote Area Medical - RAM®, and Discovery Education. Together, we are addressing the root causes of health disparities and tackling social determinants in communities to create sustainable access to healthcare, including culturally appropriate disease education, timely diagnosis, and access to innovative treatments.

Even when Community Health Workers, Promotores and Community Health Representatives are working in health care - they are still doing their work in the community, with the community, and for the community. Special thanks to all those who do this important work. Let's all celebrate CHW Awareness Week! CHW Pillar #2. CHWs ARE A COMMUNITY-BASED WORKFORCE Grounded in and committed to community advocacy, CHWs build relationships with those around them and help build treatment capacity in underserved areas. Trust, respect, and dignity for all human beings are core values among CHWs, and these public health workers are central to efforts to address clinical and community integration and the social determinants of health. CHW Networks and Associations help train and mobilize CHWs and provide support for local communities, from low-income city neighborhoods to remote rural villages, tribal nations, and territories. Six Pillars of Community Health Workers: https://lnkd.in/gCh6zyZq #CHWawarenessweek #CHW #communityhealth National Association of Community Health Workers
As trusted community members with lived experience, community health workers, promotores, and representatives – also known as CHW/P/Rs – are increasingly recognized as a critical part of the health care workforce. Their health care knowledge, experiences and history in communities runs deep – looking ahead, California knows they are central to advancing health equity. https://lnkd.in/gsnPKiFT

Social prescribing authentically intends to see at all the interconnected factors that contribute to the healing process of an individual, not just the physiological one. Looking forward to learn more about that from an environmental point of view!
People who experience structural marginalization are disproportionately affected by extreme weather events, loss of access to land, food insecurity, chronic stress, and other direct impacts of climate change. Social prescribing has great potential to address the health and social needs of patients and to strengthen community and climate resilience. By improving health and wellbeing through nonclinical services, social prescribing can also play a role in reducing the carbon footprint of the health system. Addressing the social determinants of health improves health outcomes and may, in turn, reduce the overall demand for carbon-intensive healthcare activity. When used to treat existing conditions, social prescriptions can present a lower-carbon form of care. In this session of the Sustainable Primary & Community Care Implementation Series, we will hear from a multi-disciplinary team who are putting social prescribing concepts into practice, learn more about building community engagement and resilience, and co-creating programs.

To achieve #healthforall we need sustainable systems change involving top down and bottom up work. Because healthcare is not just technical, it’s political. That’s why at Community Health Impact Coalition we are making #proCHWs the norm worldwide by changing guidelines, funding, and policy. The result? Quality care for all, including those who provide it. https://lnkd.in/eP3uu85P

Public policy plays a powerful role in shaping how neighborhoods look and operate, as well as shaping places where residents can thrive. The Equitable Policy Processes for Multisector Health Efforts tool, created by PHI’s Build Healthy Places Network, helps coalitions embed equity at every stage of the policymaking process—with actionable steps to share power, engage stakeholders and operationalize equity through public policy that helps create healthier, more equitable, and thriving communities.

To ensure immediate and quality services are provided during public health issues or medical emergencies, it is crucial to empower the community health workforce. Upfront has been partnering with state governments to design and conduct comprehensive training in life skills, leadership for initiating change, and various health-related subjects. We actively contribute to optimising the utilisation of human resources in the health sector through strategic improvements, thereby building a strong force supporting the frontline workforce. Partner with us in strengthening the frontline health workforce for a healthier tomorrow. #healthcare #empowerment #upfront Community Health Impact Coalition | Women in Global Health | UHC2030 - Taking action for universal health coverage | United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) | Global Fund for Women

One of my favorite takeaways from the #apha2023 conference was on the concept of health equity. Sometimes when we think we are designing an equitable product or service we may very unintentionally include our own biases as practicioners. As much as we check our unconscious and confirmation bias at the door, it is possible. Let’s start by approaching communities and ask: show me (in words or pictures) what a livable community means to you. What are those desired values? Adopt the values as part of the health equity framework, and you just met your community where THEY are at. This is Public Health 101. I believe that if we do this, then we are also aligning our work with human rights. The intersection of public health, health equity and human rights is THE new paradigm and must be how we make decisions to improve the health outcomes of communities. #healthequity #framework #humanrights

Millions of community health workers are not salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied. 70% are women. It’s a dual-sided human rights issue. CHWs are exploited and less effective for patients. So one billion people will never see a health worker. At Community Health Impact Coalition we are making #proCHWs the norm worldwide by changing guidelines, funding, and policy. The result? Quality care for all, including those who provide it. Join us: https://bit.ly/3U8Sll9
