Indigenous communities experience significant healthcare disparities. These disparities often result in higher rates of illness, disability, and shorter life expectancies for Indigenous individuals. This is why Capital Impact Partners is proud to support Native American Health Center's latest health care center. Supported by New Markets Tax Credits, this project enabled the construction of a 14,000-square-foot health and cultural center in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, CA. The cultural center will host gatherings and provide services rooted in Native American traditions.

So much more to do to overcome the health outcome impacts of social determinants of health: poverty, housing insecurity, environmental racism, and food insecurity (among others!) CHCs still are the network resource to address these crises!
Nearly 60 years ago, visionary community activists and reform-minded physicians?in the Civil Rights Movement established the first Community Health Centers to fight poverty, advance health equity, and change lives. In the process, they launched a national movement. Today, health centers are the largest primary care network in the United States, serving 31.5 million patients nationwide. A new short video from NACHC recounts the early history of health centers, founded as a bold experiment to bring healthcare to the nation’s overlooked rural and urban communities. #ValueCHCs #HealthEquity

Healthcare Executive & Non-Profit Leader: Strategic Planning ? Organizational Development ? Change Management ? Project Management: I achieve strategic objectives by boosting stakeholder engagement and collaboration.
?? Celebrating 60 Years of Impact: The Legacy of Community Health Centers As I reflect on the remarkable journey of Community Health Centers over the past six decades, I'm reminded of their profound impact on the American healthcare ecosystem. Born out of the Civil Rights Movement and the War on Poverty, these centers were founded with a revolutionary idea: healthcare should be accessible to all, regardless of one's socio-economic status. From their humble beginnings in Mount Bayou, Mississippi, and Boston, Massachusetts, Community Health Centers have grown into the nation's largest and most successful primary care network, serving over 31 million individuals across the country. Their unwavering commitment to health equity and community empowerment has improved countless lives and reshaped our healthcare approach. These centers exemplify the power of community collaboration, bringing together healthcare professionals, community leaders, and government support to create a holistic healthcare ecosystem. They offer a wide array of services, from primary care to behavioral health, ensuring comprehensive care that extends beyond the traditional healthcare setting. As innovators and problem solvers, Community Health Centers have been at the forefront of addressing America's most pressing public health challenges, including natural disasters and pandemics. Their role in reducing health disparities, preventing illness, and addressing social determinants of health like nutrition, mental health, and homelessness is unparalleled. As we look to the future, it's important to advocate for long-term funding so that Community Health Centers can continue to advance their mission of providing quality, accessible healthcare to all.

Housing is a determinant of health, and the lack of affordable, safe and stable housing can contribute to negative health outcomes such as chronic disease and injury. Years of discriminatory practices, unjust housing policies, and systemic barriers cause limited access to housing. Understanding how journalists currently frame housing issues, and how those choices shape long-term narratives, can help housing and health advocates be strategic about their communication strategies. To understand these issues further, the Public Health Institute’s Berkeley Media Studies Group joined with housing advocates at the grassroots level, health equity advocates, CBOs and government staff, resulting in released findings on the intersection of health equity and housing.

Yes to ALL this! Although I would argue research has also proven we should call them “social drivers of health” as opposed to determinants as there isn’t a straight line to negative outcomes. There are opportunities all along the way to change the course and alter the outcomes for communities, populations, families and individuals. This includes providing housing first, increase service access, cultural support programs and customized care amongst others. By focusing on partnerships and innovative models, WE CAN do more together. #SDOH #driversofhealth #housing #housingfirst #housingforall #hosuingcrisis #domoretogether #partnershipsmatter

Important article for academic health systems preparing/implementing a community health and health equity strategic plan. "Appreciating community health priorities and ensuring the 'community voice' is present in all deliberations is a hallmark of the leading health equity programs...
