Local governments in California are making an effort to improve engagement with community, but there are still many challenges to this. That's why at the foundation, we support work that aligns systems with community priorities. In this month's newsletter, we highlight some of the innovative work happening to center community voices. Here's what you'll find inside this month's Intersections: ➡️Our grantee partners San Joaquin Valley Health Fund, The Center at Sierra Health Foundation, and Public Health Institute are creating accessible spaces for people with lived expertise to have a seat at the table. ➡️A multi-sector collaboration, Safety & Healing in Networks of Equity (SHINE), is creating safer, more supportive communities that can drive systemic change in domestic violence prevention and response. ➡️Our partners Onside Partners and ThinkForward Strategies conducted research on how public health agencies are actively using an equiy-centered approach.

At the Coalition our vision is quality care for all, including those who provide it. But how do we get there? By making professional community health workers (proCHWs) the norm worldwide. We do this with three interconnected tactics to drive systems change. We research to equip international norm setters with evidence to create proCHW guidelines. We advocate to influence global financing institutions to increase proCHW funding. And we activate in-country CHW networks to win national proCHW policy. In our latest blog, and ahead of our upcoming Annual Report, we explore where we won in 2023 and what we hope to achieve together in the new year. What would you add to the list? We would love to hear in the comments! https://lnkd.in/eJMn_iWJ

PBS on public health begins tonight, The Invisible Shield. Given how much work so many of our public libraries are doing to foster healthy communities through education, activities, programs, services, and partnerships - and given how even the US Surgeon General is naming libraries as a pillar in public health, it's worth taking a second to view. https://lnkd.in/gskU-V77
