August is Civic Health Month, a nationwide celebration held to showcase the strengthening relationship between health care, healthy communities, and civic participation. Civic health refers to how communities come together to identify and address public issues, as defined by the National Conference on Citizenship. It is measured through social connections, community involvement, and political participation. The Wisconsin 2024 Civic Health Challenge encourages residents to actively contribute to their community's civic health through daily challenges centered on four themes: social connection, community connection, voting, and political engagement. https://lnkd.in/gSJ4KSrW

Solving Homelessness Addressing Homelessness: A Solution Beyond Partisan Lines By Stan Caplan, AKA Caplan America Independent Congressional Candidate As Caplan America, I have always believed in the power of practical, effective solutions over political posturing. The issue of homelessness is one that has plagued our nation for decades. Despite the billions of dollars poured into various programs and initiatives, the problem seems only to have intensified. It is a challenge that both Democrats and Republicans have grappled with, yet a tangible solution remains elusive. Today, I present an approach that seeks to bridge the partisan divide and offer a path forward. Go to: caplanforcongress.com to read my proposed Congressional bills for solutions to homelessness, high prices, immigration, crime, corrupt politicians, and preservation of our Constitutional freedoms.

Addictions Case Manager | Keynote Speaker | Podcast Host | Non-Profit Board Director | Healthcare Policy Consultant | Harm Reduction Strategist
**Nothing About Us Without Us** Genuine voices of lived experience are vital, and once again, University Health Network is leading the way—not with tokenized efforts, but with real, meaningful inclusion. Amazing to see this kind of leadership and commitment to co-design in action. #LivedExperienceMatters, #SocialJusticeInAction, #HealthcareLeadership, #InclusiveCare
Lived experience is one of the most powerful drivers of our work. Rene Adams, C.W. and Opal Sparks are two social justice legends that help lead our Social Medicine Advisory Council. They have fundamentally shaped the way we think and are crucial partners in the co-design of all our initiatives. They have pushed us to reimagine the way we deliver health care outside hospital walls, especially when it comes to housing as health care. And helped lift up the first Food is Medicine Farmer’s Market where patients get free access to local produce. 🥬🫛🌽

Thank you to Maranda C. Ward, Ed.D, MPH for introducing me to National Public Health Week. For those of who may not know, National Public Health week is every first full week of April and is intended to recognize contributions made to Public Health as well as bringing attention to issues that can improve our nation's health. Each day of National Public Health Week focuses on a specific theme, with today being civic engagement. When taking a look at civic engagement we can see that it is crucial for positive public health outcomes among the nation. Studies indicate that communities with higher levels of civic engagement tend to experience better public health outcomes. Whether advocating for pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, advocating for more green spaces, or ensuring adequate funding for schools, our participation allows us to influence decisions that directly impact the quality of life in our communities. Given the importance of civic engagement, here are some ways you can contribute: - VOTE! And encourage your friends, colleagues, neighbors, family to do the same - Encourage your workplace to give employees time off to vote - Educate yourself and others about voting policies in your state to raise awareness. Let's work together to foster a culture of civic engagement for healthier communities. #NationalPublicHealthWeek #CivicEngagement

In 2020, CHCF launched a targeted effort to improve health care, and thus health outcomes, for Black Californians regardless of their income or the type of insurance coverage they have. This approach recognizes the impacts of anti-Black racism on the health of Black Californians across income and socioeconomic class. See our current request for proposals (RFP), which solicits projects that address anti-Black racism in the health care system. CHCF seeks to support five to eight projects that have the potential to accelerate change in delivery system policies and practices in the near term. Applicants may apply for grants of up to $150,000 for a two-year grant period to implement and assess the impact of efforts to improve equitable medical care for Black Californians in public or private clinics, hospitals, and medical practices.
