And if you’re looking for inspiration to excel in this area, look no further than this year’s AHA Dick Davidson NOVA Award winners. The five recipients of this year’s awards are addressing some of the field’s greatest challenges — from ensuring that patients can connect easily with community resources to steering violence survivors toward a path of healing to implementing street medicine programs. And they are working shoulder to shoulder with other community stakeholders to get the job done. https://lnkd.in/guuX8i3h

Civic engagement is not just a duty; it's a powerful tool for creating healthier communities. As we observe National Public Health Week (#NPHW), Flourish & Thrive Labs encourages you to reflect on how civic participation influences public health. Whether you voice concerns in community forums, contribute to public health surveys, or engage with local health initiatives, your involvement is a catalyst for change. Together, we can ensure that public health policies reflect our community's needs and aspirations. A recent analysis of civic engagement and state health outcomes from 1996 to 2020 showed that in states where people are more civically engaged and vote more, public health outcomes are better.

We recently led a community engagement effort to help understand barriers to participation in a local community. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gzR5AFDU Image source: NPHW

In their new Forefront article, Evelyne Kane, Victor Murray, and Miguel Rodriguez of the Camden Coalition; Tanya Shah; Alayna Tillman of the University of California, San Francisco LACRC; Alyce Luna; Connie Montgomery of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation; Lauren Pelley; and Olivia Richard share recommendations for helping Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) navigate misalignments with their enrollee advisory committees, from the perspective of people with lived experience who have worked closely with the Camden Coalition—and other organizations—on multiple community engagement initiatives. "In our experience, good community engagement should reflect the community’s values and interests. As members of the Camden Coalition’s community engagement staff (Kane, Murray) and National Consumer Scholars program (Tillman, Luna, Montgomery, Pelley, Rodriguez, Richard), we are committed to building authentic partnerships between health care organizations and people with lived experience. From our extensive experience advocating for and representing consumers in community engagement initiatives, we know that building partnerships requires time, trust, and skill. While we agree that additional requirements can support the desired end-state of new D-SNP EACs—where these committees lead to meaningful improvement of health plan operations and member outcomes through health plan engagement with members in authentic, equitable, and mutually beneficial ways—real-world guidance is needed to help build such partnerships together."
