DESCRIPTION:Offered in Partnership with Build Healthy Places Network. \n\n\n\nThis event is open to the public and free for all to attend. \n\n\n\nDescription: The current pandemic has revealed even more deeply the health inequities that impact our communities\, influenced by legacies of racial and economic segregation and disinvestment that fueled disparities in opportunity\, health and well-being even before the COVID-19 crisis.

SUMMARY:CBHL 2020 Un-Summit - Closing Keynote Address with Susan Cooper | Moving the Needle – Building Authentic Community Partnerships Together as ONE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the closing keynote address of the CBHL 2020 Un-Summit\, where we will hear from Susan Cooper\, Chief Integration Officer and Senior Vice President at Regional One Health in Memphis\, Tennessee. \n\n\n\nOne Health is a program designed to meet the needs of our uninsured\, medically and socially complex patients. The goal of the program is to improve the health of our most vulnerable\, while bending the cost curve. Complex patients comprise a small\, heterogeneous group of individuals who frequently cycle through multiple systems (healthcare\, behavioral\, social\, correctional)\, but do not receive any lasting benefit from the interactions. Care is often fragmented and systems are rarely designed to meet the needs of the most complex. Hospitals alone are insufficient to meet the complex needs of these patients. A new mindset for building authentic partnerships was required. The team built authentic relationships with cross-sector community partners based on data and trust. New tools were developed and implemented for community asset mapping\, model design\, and data collection\, which led to the creation of a new ecosystem of care inclusive of healthcare\, behavioral health\, and social services. Additionally\, new methods of cross sector collaboration were introduced. Over the course of 27 months\, 430 individuals were enrolled. Improved outcomes were achieved in health\, housing\, utilization\, cost\, benefits\, food security\, and self-sufficiency. \n\n\n\nSusan Cooper\, Chief Integration Officer & Senior Vice President\, Regional One Health\n\n\n\nSusan R. Cooper\, MSN\, RN\, FAAN currently serves as the Chief Integration Officer and Senior Vice President at Regional One Health. She has responsibility for the Center for Population Health and Clinical Innovation. Additionally\, she leads the organizations response to the COVID19 pandemic and serves on the Mayors’ Joint Task Force.  \n\n\n\nBefore joining Regional One Health\, Ms. Cooper made Tennessee history when she became the first registered nurse appointed Commissioner of Health for the State of Tennessee\, serving two Governors. Prior to her appointment as Commissioner of Health\, she served as the Special Policy Advisor to the Governor for the Uninsured and chief architect responsible for the design and implementation of the health care safety net for uninsured Tennesseans.  \n\n\n\nDuring her tenure as Commissioner of Health and chief health strategist\, Ms. Cooper was responsible for the establishment of innovative policies\, programs\, and partnerships designed to protect\, promote\, and improve the health of Tennesseans.  A former Assistant Dean and Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing (VUSN)\, she was responsible for creation and leadership of the Center for Advanced Practice Nursing and Allied Health. Ms. Cooper has served on numerous national committees. She has extensive experience in prevention\, health policy\, population health\, preparedness\, public health and working with vulnerable populations. Ms. Cooper is a frequently requested national speaker and has provided expert testimony to the U.S. Senate on numerous occasions. Ms. Cooper serves on multiple boards and committees including the Board of Directors for America’s Essential Hospitals Institute\, Board of Directors of QSOURCE\, and Chair of the Dean’s Advisory Council of the University of Memphis\, Lowenberg College of Nursing\,  \n\n\n\nMs. Cooper received her degrees from VUSN. She is a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing and has received numerous commendations and awards including the Presidential Meritorious Service Award from Association of State and Territorial Health Officials\, the John S. Derryberry Award for Distinguished Service\, William V. Corr Award\, and the Presidential Award of Distinction from the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Alumni Association.

However\, before diagnosis occurs during a mental health disaster\, the public will experience things like distress reactions and engagement in risky behaviors.  These will show up in places like the emergency department or primary care setting\, via law enforcement interactions\, and at home or at work.  All segments of society are impacted by the significant social and economic cost\, creating a significant public behavioral health burden\, and underscoring the important role of public behavioral health leadership. \n\n\n\nWebinar Objectives\n\n\n\nUnderstand the role of the public behavioral health system during COVID-19 as it relates to patient care\, workplace\, and partnerships.Understand the role of the public behavioral health authority during COVID-19 as it relates to leadership\, advice and advocacy\, reducing barriers to care\, and communication.Review future emerging issues related to the ongoing nature of the pandemic.\n\n\n\nScroll down to RSVP and to receive login information via email. \n\n\n\nImmediately following this webinar is a panel discussion with our speakers (part 2).

SUMMARY:A Call to Action - Our Responsibility as Leaders to Address Structural Racism and Resulting Health Inequities | Webinar (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to the public and free for all to attend. \n\n\n\nDescription:  COVID-19 does not affect everyone equally.  Public health crises by their nature reveal existing inequities and make them worse.  This is especially true among Black\, Indigenous and People of Color who are disproportionately harmed by institutionalized policies and practices that knowingly and unknowingly perpetuate racism and discrimination – creating disparities and poverty.  Generations of historically traumatic events  have a profound impact on a community’s health\, increasing vulnerability to behavioral and other complex health needs. \n\n\n\nNow several months into the COVID-19 crisis\, what does this look like on the ground from the eyes of our disenfranchised communities? How has this pandemic exposed and exacerbated existing inequities? As leaders\, we must be prepared to have difficult conversations about structural racism and resulting inequities and be willing to develop collaborative strategies to address. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nParticipants will be able to identify and classify inequities experienced from the lens of the communities or populations they serve.Participants will understand the impacts of inequities on populations with behavioral and other complex health needs.Participants will be able to articulate concrete examples of ways in which as leaders\, they can address inequities occurring at each level of the social ecological model.\n\n\n\nRSVP below to receive login information via email.  \n\n\n\nImmediately following this webinar is a panel discussion with our speakers (part 2).
