We're on the lookout for trailblazers ready to tackle anti-Black racism within our state's health care delivery system. We're thrilled to announce a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for quality improvement projects dedicated to dismantling systemic barriers and enhancing equitable medical care for Black Californians. 🌟 Grant Opportunity: Up to $150,000 for a two-year period. 🎯 Focus: Implementing and assessing impactful strategies in public or private health settings. ⏳ Deadline: January 31, 2024. CHCF encourages smaller grants that assess small tests of change or that lay essential groundwork for assessing equitable care. These efforts are often more likely to be adopted in regular operations. The goal is to fund a mix of smaller and larger efforts that can be integrated into regular operations. This is more than a grant – it's an opportunity to be at the forefront of meaningful change in our communities.

At CHCF, we believe in a health workforce that mirrors the diversity of our state, especially for the 15 million Californians enrolled in Medi-Cal. How can California achieve this? 🔍 Improving data disaggregation to understand patient language needs better. 💡 Increasing scholarship funding and loan repayment resources for people passionate about serving underserved communities. 🏫 Advancing holistic admission processes in California’s health profession schools to foster diversity. 🤝 Strengthening partnerships between California Community Colleges and California State Universities to bolster allied health professions. As CHCF’s Kathryn E. Phillips shared at a recent Assembly Health Committee hearing: “Our health workforce is a critical infrastructure. It’s the infrastructure of care. And just like our roads or our bridges, we need regular assessment. We need infrastructure upgrades. Our workforce deserves more. Our patients need care.” We were honored to testify alongside our many partners working to build the representative workforce we all want and need: California Pan-Ethnic Health Network, California Black Health Network (CBHN), Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, Roots Community Health Center, and AltaMed Health Services, among many others.

On this day, the St. Louis Integrated Health Network (IHN) commemorates and honors the legacy of Michael Brown, Jr. who was taken from us way too soon. We also stand in solidarity with Michael’s family and friends, striving for a safer and more just and equitable society. Ten years later, it is important that we all revisit the call to action outlined in the Ferguson Commission report, “Forward Through Ferguson: A Path Toward Racial Equity.” (https://lnkd.in/gqAFRMqQ) Championed by Bethany Johnson-Javois, former IHN CEO and Managing Director of the commission, one of the signature priorities named in the report is assuring access to affordable health care. IHN was born out of the necessity to ensure access to quality and affordable healthcare for historically excluded communities. As a trusted partner, we hold ourselves and those with whom we partner accountable to advancing health equity. We center ourselves in the fundamental truth that health equity cannot be realized without racial equity. Racial equity is achieved when all communities reach their full potential through the elimination of policies, systems, and cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race. Recognizing that practices of the past and present have shaped current gaps in health outcomes, the path forward for St. Louis requires us to mobilize and leverage the power of our community, partners, and systems to collectively disrupt these patterns. In honor of Michael Brown, Jr., IHN will continue to challenge systems and change structures that impede access and opportunities to wellbeing. We offer peace and comfort to Michael Brown, Jr.’s family and friends, and to broader to St. Louis community who was touched by his spirit.

Addressing community health in rural areas requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond traditional clinical care, focusing on prevention, education, and collaboration with local stakeholders. Rural communities often face limited access to healthcare resources, transportation barriers, and socioeconomic disparities that impact overall health and wellbeing. Building strong relationships and trust within the community enables rural healthcare providers to better understand and respond to the unique needs of the population. Addressing community health in rural areas requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond traditional clinical care, focusing on prevention, education, and collaboration with local stakeholders.

Last week, Black Men's Health Clinic (BMHC) was represented at the Black Men's Brain Health Conference in Las Vegas for Super Bowl Week, where BMHC board president, Dr. Larry Wallace Jr., Ph.D., spoke from an organizational perspective on community engagement. BMHC sat on a diverse panel called "Working with Community Partners" at the event. The panel was moderated by Lisa Barnes, Ph.D., of Rush University, and other panel participants were Harry Evans of Heal Black Men, José Melendrez, Executive Director of Community Partnerships of the University of North Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Public Health, and Jason Flatt, Ph.D., MPH from the Nevada Minority Health and Equity Coalition. Questions were addressed from the audience and there was notable dialogue amongst the panelists. BMHC Board President Wallace made several compelling statements, but there is one we would like to point out in this article. Dr. Larry Wallace Jr. said, "It is important that we make sure we don't go "cookie cutter" when we are working to engage the community. We need to think about our target audience, their comfortability, and understand the people we serve well enough to create pockets of safe spaces from one neighborhood to another." He went on further to express that fundamentally, we need to take the time to relate to the people we serve and show them we care. Simply because people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

We recently added a new company to our health portfolio with an investment in Zócalo Health. Zócalo is a digital healthcare platform that provides Latinos with culturally competent and community-oriented care. Nearly 1-in-5 Latinos are uninsured and 58% say they prefer a Spanish speaking doctor. Co-founders Erik Cardenas and Mariza H. started Zócalo to give the Latino community simpler access to healthcare. The start-up provides patients access to primary care, behavioral health, social services, care coordination, complex care management, and urgent care. The company uses community health workers to engage and build trust with Latino patients and help Medicaid payors—31.4% of Medicaid beneficiaries nationwide identify as Hispanic—better serve a large and underserved demographic. At Acumen America, we are always looking for companies with a specific focus on impact. Zócalo’s vision aligns with our goals to increase access to healthcare for a growing and historically marginalized population by leveraging tech-enabled solutions with a community focus. Zócalo currently operates in Texas, California, and Washington and is looking to expand to more states. Learn more about Zócalo at: https://www.zocalo.health/

Well-deserved recognition and spotlight for Dr. Villa and La Casa de la Salud 👏🏼 Community Health Workers play a pivotal role in public health, providing trusted and culturally relevant care and resources to marginalized communities. If you’re looking for an organization to support with your 3 T’s (time, talent, treasure), I highly recommend considering LCS. Bridging the gap between the public and public services is the most critical function a nonprofit organization can have to ensure we are still leveraging public resources as much as possible before supplementing with philanthropy.
