Presentation on Healthy! Capital Counties at National Conference

12/19/2011

 
I was pleased to present the Healthy! Capital Counties story (so far) along with a few other Community Health Assessment colleages at the 2011 Open Forum hosted by the National Network of Public Health Institute on December 12th.  This effort, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is bringing together public health practitioners as part of the "Community of Practice for Public Health Improvement". See the presentation here. The Healthy! Capital Counties portion is the second of three communities highlighted. 
I really enjoying discussing the unique aspects of three health departments and four hospital systems partnering together with folks from around the country.  Our project was cited as a project responsive the the fact that our community is broader than our jurisdictional boundaries.

Learn about redlining in Lansing

11/1/2011

 
http://cadl.wordpress.com/2011/10/09/blurring-lansings-redline/

view this intriguing post on the Capital Area District Library blog about the practice of excluding non-whites from owning or renting properties in certain areas.  Do we see echos of these lines today?  How do they still affect the health of the residents of Lansing and the surrounding areas?

This video highlights the connections between health care providers and the community health system, and that to get to the bottom of why some of us are so unhealthy, we need to "keep asking why?".
