Yesterday, NEVHC was honored to participate in a fascinating panel held by the Immigrant Health Access Task Force of the California Community Foundation. After the ending of the public health emergency in May of last year, LA County began a massive redetermination process to renew or terminate coverage for over 4 million people. Christopher Gomez, an NEVHC Outreach and Enrollment Manager, spoke about the challenges of this Medi-Cal unwinding process and where support is still needed.

Did you know? Research examining civic engagement and state health outcomes between 1996 and 2020 revealed a positive association: states with higher levels of civic engagement and voter participation tend to experience improved public health outcomes. Additionally, the Health & Democracy Index analysis has demonstrated that states with inclusive voting policies and fewer voting barriers exhibit better health outcomes; conversely, states with restrictive voting policies tend to have worse health outcomes. According to the Index, these voting barriers also contribute to the exacerbation of existing health disparities, such as disparities in infant mortality rates.

Happy National Public Health Week! One group in public health that supports civic engagement is Community Health Workers (CHWs). And an issue impacting CHWs that could be changed by civic engagement is CHW certification. You may have noticed that I took CHW off my profile. That’s because I was certified in a state with a state-operated program and then moved to a state without a program, meaning I could not transfer my certification, even though I continue to work on a significant public health issue: domestic abuse. And it turns out there is not yet a national certification program for CHWs, plus about half of all U.S. states don’t have a certification program. Should CHWs even have to be certified? Interested to hear your thoughts. #NPHW #NPHWChat #CHW #CommunityHealthWorker #PublicHealth #PublicHealthSocialWork #SocialWork #MacroSocialWork #MacroSW
