Participants learned the answers to these and other sometimes confusing questions through our Lobbying and Advocacy training. NHPHA co-hosted this event with presenters Kate Frey and Aly McKnight from New Futures as well as speaker Kerri McGowan Lowrey from the Network for Public Health Law’s Eastern Region at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law. Webinar: Exploring Social Determinants of Health: From Data to Action to Advance Equity: New Hampshire and National ApproachesWe know good health goes beyond medical care and is influenced by economic opportunity, affordable housing, and quality education - all factors that communities can transform. These "social determinants of health" were the focus of this webinar from May 2018, using data and evidence from the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps to learn how to strengthen community efforts to improve health outcomes. In addition, participants learned how Carroll County Coalition for Public Health's health partners are mobilizing community-wide approaches to address housing and transportation challenges in order to affect the conditions in which all people can be healthy. They also heard about Cheshire Medical Center's Prescribe for Health Program that uses provider referrals to Population Health Workers to more effectively connect patients to the community-based supports that will make healthier choices the easier choices, especially for those with chronic disease who are also socio-economically disadvantaged. There was a discussion of how the Monadnock Living Wage Work Group has been working with area businesses to pledge to pay an entry wage equivalent of $15 by 2020. Click here to view the webinar. |
