One of my team wrote this blog post for Complete Care at Home. I thought I'd share it here! The bottom line is - people are happier, healthier, and live longer when they get to stay home. And Complete Care can make that happen in Santa Barbara County, and beyond! https://lnkd.in/gcBubxaE

Adding to my reading list
At Made to Save (Civic Nation), I was blown away by the resourcefulness, wisdom, creativity, and effectiveness of community based organizations and community health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the June issue of Health Affairs, I and co-authors Denise Octavia Smith MBA, BS, CHW, PN, SFC, Bisola Ojikutu, John Auerbach celebrate communities and lay out steps to create a new model of public health that makes community a full partner.

**Nothing About Us Without Us** Genuine voices of lived experience are vital, and once again, University Health Network is leading the way—not with tokenized efforts, but with real, meaningful inclusion. Amazing to see this kind of leadership and commitment to co-design in action. #LivedExperienceMatters, #SocialJusticeInAction, #HealthcareLeadership, #InclusiveCare
Lived experience is one of the most powerful drivers of our work. Rene Adams, C.W. and Opal Sparks are two social justice legends that help lead our Social Medicine Advisory Council. They have fundamentally shaped the way we think and are crucial partners in the co-design of all our initiatives. They have pushed us to reimagine the way we deliver health care outside hospital walls, especially when it comes to housing as health care. And helped lift up the first Food is Medicine Farmer’s Market where patients get free access to local produce. ??????

The mission of public health is to promote safer, healthier and better-quality lives, prevent disease and injury, and ensure all individuals have the right to access all the facts, information, and knowledge available to make healthy choices for themselves, their families, and their community. In partnership with communities across the United States and around the world, the CDC Foundation works to improve health outcomes by developing effective programs and tackling systems. Health is more than the absence of disease. It is not just about surviving. It’s about thriving. This Juneteenth, let us celebrate the resilience in our communities and all reinvigorate our commitment to everyone living their healthiest life. Together, we can reinvent our systems and practices so everyone can reach a better quality of life. #Juneteenth Image Credit: National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Happy National Public Health Week! One group in public health that supports civic engagement is Community Health Workers (CHWs). And an issue impacting CHWs that could be changed by civic engagement is CHW certification. You may have noticed that I took CHW off my profile. That’s because I was certified in a state with a state-operated program and then moved to a state without a program, meaning I could not transfer my certification, even though I continue to work on a significant public health issue: domestic abuse. And it turns out there is not yet a national certification program for CHWs, plus about half of all U.S. states don’t have a certification program. Should CHWs even have to be certified? Interested to hear your thoughts. #NPHW #NPHWChat #CHW #CommunityHealthWorker #PublicHealth #PublicHealthSocialWork #SocialWork #MacroSocialWork #MacroSW
Today is the first day of National Public Health Week! Monday is all about CIVIC ENGAGEMENT! Voting and other forms of civic engagement shape our community and how it allocates resources to support our opportunity for healthy lives. And studies show better public health outcomes in states where more people vote. www.NPHW.org #NPHW
