Join our interactive panel discussion on 7/16 at 1PM ET featuring presenters from Equality Health and the Community Health Center Association of Mississippi. We will examine 10 key areas a practice should consider when thinking about partnering with a 3rd party in a value-based care arrangement. The session will review: • Reasons to consider partnering with an enabler or other 3rd party • How to determine if the agreement is right for you • How to create a win-win situation for all involved • What each party must bring to ensure success, and • How data sharing will be accomplished.

Health is more than just medical care. Last week, we published and began the first stages of the Convergence Collaborative on Social Factors of Health Blueprint for Action release! The Collaborative met for several months to come to a consensus on solutions for creating the best policy environment for local efforts and partnerships to improve household and community health by addressing social factors of health (also known as social determinants of health or SDOH). These convenings were supported with generous financial support by CommonSpirit Health, the Episcopal Health Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente. Their commitment to the Convergence process of building consensus among people and organizations with different views and priorities made the project possible. #SDOH #SocialFactorsOfHealth #SocialDriversofHealth #SocialDeterminantsofHealth

"You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas. - Shirley Chisholm It's not enough to passively watch the injustices in our healthcare systems. True progress comes from taking action and from implementing bold ideas that challenge the status quo. By embracing Chisholm's philosophy and taking tangible steps towards progress, we can create a healthcare system that prioritizes the well-being of all individuals by actively working to address the root causes of health disparities.

For so many of us Black founders who are committed to health justice, the most important work is not just creating what our communities ask for and need. The most critical work is self-discovery. The most critical work is understanding when & where the healthcare system, as it exists, devalued you, disrespected you or dismissed you. From this place, we can envision the solutions that we are most equipped to create, because we aren't just trying to heal others but also our past self. Without taking this time to reflect, the work we create is at risk of being merely a newer version of ineffective care models that still don't truly heal our people. This happens because too many of us are waiting for others to validate the work that our experiences, expertise and exposure have already qualified us to create. To actually bring community healing through healthcare, it's imperative that we don't just do the work we can do but we find the work we're called to do and fiercely commit to it. #healthjustice #healthcareleaders #communityhealth #healthequity
