Building strong relationships with communities is a foundational element in improving community health. By regarding communities as experts, we gain richer data, increase the capacity of all partners, and position communities to create lasting change. In this blog post from our archives, we demonstrate the impact of engaging community members as experts in assessments #CHIWeek #communityexperts #healthequity

The Community Health Improvement (CHI) process can drive healthy and equitable communities through cross-sector collaboration and policy, systems, and environmental change approaches. Organizations often successfully complete their assessments and plans but then get “stuck” when it comes to prioritization, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. In our blog post "The Full Frame: Widening the Lens on Community Health," we explore strategies to address these challenges so organizations can successfully complete the full CHI process. #CHIWeek

In a world increasingly marked by volatility and insecurity, it is crucial to empower communities not only to survive and thrive, but also to be part of the solutions to the challenges they face. Our new strategic plan lays out a clear pathway to achieve this, focusing on three key strategic focus areas: ✊🏽Build Resilient Communities,  🔍Watch What Matters, and  💊Make Medicines Affordable. These areas are not isolated. They are deeply interconnected, synergistically feeding our mission to achieve health and social justice through robust community engagement. #GlobalHealth #HealthEquity #TreatPeopleRight

The More for Memphis plan has six interrelated focus areas: Education & Youth, Economic Development, Arts & Culture, Community Development, Health & Well-Being, and Justice & Safety. Each strategy outlined in the plan fits into at least one focus area, with several actually leading to better outcomes in two or more areas. For example, the inclusion of school-based health centers in local community schools can improve resident health while also decreasing chronic absenteeism rates for students. #ByTheNumbers #MoreforMemphis

Cultural competency or cultural humility? I love the transition in language from cultural competency to cultural humility. The idea of being "competent" in someone else's culture always seemed a bit absurd to me, especially as a white man who moves through society with so much ease. Thinking instead of being humble and recognizing that we will never fully understand other cultures (i.e., be competent in them) presents us with an opportunity to engage and a posture to listen. I will be attending this webinar hosted by NACCHO to listen to Dr. King talk about this topic and SO MUCH MORE. Will you join me?

Question: What advice would you give to those involved in community health to ensure the MOF buys into the vision of community health departments and that the MOF is brought along and aligned to the mission of these departments, including in the formulation of the financing pathway for community health?
