This document outlines a program to address the health needs of refugee women in Dallas-Fort Worth. The program has three goals: 1) increase health knowledge of issues facing refugee women, 2) decrease health threats for refugee women by 30% through education and a community center, and 3) increase access to healthcare. The program will develop partnerships, implement educational programs, and create a resource network. An evaluation plan will assess increases in knowledge, attendance at educational sessions, physician follow-up visits, and health insurance enrollment to measure the program's success in improving refugee women's health.

Reducing Disparities in Diabetes Care: From Data to DoingEmily Wittenhagen
It’s no secret that for those in historically underserved populations, daily management of health conditions poses unique challenges. In this webinar, we will look at these challenges through the lens of health equity and social determinants of health with a focus on diabetes, a hugely prevalent disease that is widely known to disproportionately affect underserved populations. Presenter Lisa Packard, who has spent years focused on health inequities and diabetes, will share how diabetes patients can take charge of their health through community-based workshops teaching positive self-management techniques. She will also go over how healthcare professionals can help support these individuals, foster the linkages between communities and clinics/health systems, and find or implement these kinds of trainings – particularly the evidence-backed Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) workshops. Lisa will also review the evidence behind the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and quality improvement opportunities that can be identified using Medicare claims data. This webinar is appropriate for front-line clinicians, patient safety and quality improvement professionals, and anyone involved or interested in making strides in health disparities and/or diabetes work.

Palliative care in the United States has experienced tremendous growth and visibility over the past decade. Integrating palliative care principles into mainstream health care systems is becoming increasingly common in both acute care and community-based programs. The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) has played a key role in advancing this field by providing resources, education and training to healthcare providers.
This workshop brought together, for the first time, the pioneers and the partner organisations of the Integrated Care and Support programme. It focused on building a learning community that will help develop, share and spread knowledge and solutions at scale and pace across the country.

Editor's Notes
Definition: “A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence; someone who has a well-founded fear of maltreatment for reasons such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group
Collaborators (see example below)
Many of the refugee women that migrate to the United States come without their husband, making them the main provider and caregiver for their family
In 2012, Texas was reported as having one the highest numbers of refugees in the United States. Of the refugees, over half of those immigrating to the United States are women who have not received proper health care developing numerous gynecological issues, cancers, and increased risk to highly problematic and fatal pregnancies
For up to eight months after their arrival, many refugees are only eligible for free medical care.
After the 8 months of free health care expire, refugee women are responsible to obtain their own insurance in order to continue receiving routine preventive women’s health care so that they are able to stay healthy and provide for their family
Goal 1: the women will attend weekly educational sessions on reproductive health topics and show their improvement/change in knowledge through pre/post tests
75% of women refugees will have health care coverage
90% of women will have a primary care physician
along with their vast knowledge and experience; translated into their language; Statistic Software eg. SPSS & SAS
