Fostering Community-Driven Change
During COVID-19 and Beyond
We were honored to interview Melissa Jones, Executive Director of BARHII, to learn how this coalition of 11 public health departments adapted and mobilized to meet the challenges of COVID-19. Jones shares how to build effective collaboration structures, push forward meaningful policy changes and address inequities during the pandemic and beyond.
Join us Tuesday, October 6th at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT for the fourth webinar in our Intentionally Integrating Equity into SDOH Interventions series. Hear from three health equity experts as they discuss healthcare’s role in advancing equity and anti-racism through research and evaluation, moderated by our very own Artair Rogers.
This piece builds on Part 1 of the blog series with foundational principles for advancing data democratization and some technical considerations for how to get it done. Our head of Research & Development Sheena Nahm McKinlay shares lessons learned from our work, including how we built our data dashboard, as well as steps and resources to help you in your journey.
We were proud to be a co-collaborator at last month’s virtual Community Information Exchange Summit, a national conference hosted by 2-1-1 San Diego. If you missed it, you can find our session materials, focusing on the importance of centering community and applying an anti-racism lens to achieve health equity, below!
