It is National Make-A-Will Month! We spoke with Kylie Johnson, CAP®, Director of Planned Giving at Baystate Health Foundation to get her top three tips for starting your estate planning: 📞Phone a Friend: Not sure where to start? Ask someone who has been through the process. Many of Kylie’s donors were pleasantly surprised by how open their friends were to having this conversation. 📝Embrace the Process: Treat it as a meaningful project rather than just another box to check. Take the time to brainstorm what matters most to you, how you might distribute certain items, and how you would like to be remembered. ✅Take Action: Make the call to an estate planning attorney and get started. Check out your local estate planning council for additional resources and ideas Read all of Kylie's thoughts here: https://dgddi.co/3yIfl2u #MakeAWillMonth #August #EstatePlanning #PlannedGiving

It is no secret the business of health care is experiencing one of its most tumultuous times in history. There is no shortage of reports on the challenging financial health care marketplace. This creates complexities for the C-Suite, challenging them to successfully operate and navigate through the tumult while also staying true to their organizations’ missions, values and visions. In times of uncertainty and financial challenges, campaigns are a crucial lifeline for organizations seeking to sustain their missions and serve their communities’ health needs. These times also create challenges in building and launching large-scale philanthropy efforts. Accordant’s Wave Campaign™ model was developed during less turbulent times; yet, has the adaptability, innovation and momentum generation needed to navigate stormy weather. This model is case-driven, clinician-partnered, organization-aligned and passion-fueled to meet and exceed donor needs. Wave campaigning is structured to ensure sustained philanthropy. Learn more about how to harness the power of the Wave Campaign™ model from Accordant's John Donovan and Heather Wiley Starankovic, CFRE, CAP: https://ow.ly/ka9f50Qnvei #healthcare #philanthropy #wavecampaigning #WaveCampaign™

National Public Health Week Starts Today!! During each day of National Public Health Week, the MPH team has created a one pager that focuses on a particular public health topic. The purpose is to help to highlight how each of us can make a difference on that topic. These areas are critical to our future success in creating the healthiest nation. Think about what you can do to help. Please see below to learn more about Civic Engagement and my challenge to you. Learn more at nphw.org. #nationalpublichealthweek Civic Engagement Challenge   What is civic engagement? Civic engagement is the formal and informal actions that we and our communities take to identify and address problems and shapes our opportunities to be healthy. By taking actions to get more civically engaged, like voting, we exercise our right to make decisions about our communities, like whether our neighborhoods have walkable sidewalks and how much funding goes to nonprofit organizations to help vulnerable populations. By engaging in professional or community service we help to improve a community’s health. A recent analysis of civic engagement and state health outcomes from 1996 to 2020 showed that in states where people are more civically engaged and vote more, public health outcomes are better.   I challenge you to become more civically engaged! 1.    Vote and help someone else vote in the next election within your community (e.g. provide transportation or fill in for them at work). 2.    Volunteer in your community. 3.    Serve on a committee that affects the health of your community – contact your local schools, churches, non-profit groups, state public health organization for opportunities.   Share your experiences with family and friends!

In 2019, our vibrant new nonprofit organization, Support Fibromyalgia Network, faced a formidable challenge: the significant oversight of fibromyalgia by public health authorities. Fueled by a blend of frustration and determination, we, alongside a group of extraordinary advocates, embarked on an unprecedented journey of fibromyalgia advocacy. Our efforts marked the beginning of a new era of support for the fibromyalgia community—a commitment we've passionately upheld through 2019, 2020, and virtual hill days ever since. On March 13th and 14th, we navigate the corridors of Capitol Hill, championing the cause of fibromyalgia advocacy and awareness. We're immensely grateful for those joining us in person, recognizing the significant physical and financial sacrifices involved. Yet, the unanimous consensus is clear: the time for change is now. Together, we continue to fight for recognition, understanding, and progress in fibromyalgia care and awareness. Join us in this enduring battle for change—one community, united and strong. 💜 ✊ #Fibromyalgia #FibromyalgiaAdvocacy #SeeWhatOthersCant

The paper below is a systematic review of the research exploring social prescribing for children and young people with neurodisability and their families, in a hospital setting. Limited evidence to date suggests potential benefit. And the SPACE pilot, delivered by Ways to Wellness, aims to build on this evidence. Thanks to Anna Basu for coming up with an amazing, innovative idea (and leading this review, along with the rest of the team that's evaluating the SPACE pilot). Plus the Great North Children's Hospital for partnering on the project, and the Newcastle Hospitals Charity for part-funding the pilot. https://lnkd.in/eaAnje3s
