The document summarizes research on life expectancy variations within Northern Virginia. It finds wide differences across census tracts, from 77 years to 84 years. Areas with lower life expectancy have higher poverty rates, lower education levels, more single-parent households, and larger immigrant and minority populations. Policy implications discussed include early childhood education, affordable housing, economic support, health services access, and addressing social determinants of health across sectors. The research aims to inform organizations on health inequities and population health approaches.
This document summarizes the economic security challenges facing West Virginia's growing elderly population. It finds that West Virginia has the second highest percentage of residents over age 65 in the country, and that this population is projected to increase rapidly as baby boomers retire. This aging population will put greater demands on state programs and services while potentially reducing tax revenue. The document also reports that West Virginia's elderly population has higher rates of poverty, disability, and poor health than national averages, and many rely solely on Social Security for income. It concludes that alternative measures beyond the federal poverty level are needed to fully understand economic insecurity among West Virginia's seniors.

The document discusses health disparities in Central Appalachia. It finds that over 90% of counties in Central Appalachia have higher rates of premature death, smoking, obesity, and child poverty compared to national averages. These disparities are linked to social determinants of health like low income, lack of education, and limited economic opportunities. While genetics and individual behaviors contribute to health outcomes, the data shows social and environmental factors play a major role. Improving health will require efforts to expand access to healthcare, increase education and jobs, and reduce poverty.

In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.

Pacific County is a rural county in Washington with high rates of obesity, lack of physical activity, and limited access to dental care compared to the state average. The county has a population of 20,900 spread across small towns and isolated areas with limited healthcare access. To address these issues, the county could implement a "Fit and Fun" community program model to promote physical activity and healthy eating among youth. The model utilizes school and community partnerships, programs, and education to encourage healthy choices. Additional efforts like developing walking/biking trails could further support physical activity.
Bobby Milstein, PhD, MPH, director of the ReThink Health and visiting scientist at MIT Sloan School of Management, gave the October 9 Grand Rounds on the Future of Public Health at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health. Dr. Milstein's talk, "Beyond Reform and Rebound: Frontiers for Rethinking and Redirecting Health System Performance," was part of this year's Grand Rounds series focusing on the decline in the health status of the U.S. population compared to peer nations, as well as the opportunities for public health leadership that are needed to close this gap. While at the Mailman School, Dr. Milstein also met with a group of doctoral students and Prof. Ronald Bayer to discuss approaches to effectively improve health systems in the United States.

Using Measurement to Improve Performance: Insights from ScorecardsThe Commonwealth Fund
A presentation given by Eric Schneider and
Douglas McCarthy of The Commonwealth Fund to the Utah State Legislature – Health and Human Services Committee on
August 23, 2017.
The document discusses the future of Franklin County Public Health in Ohio. It outlines the value of public health in preventing disease and promoting community health. Trends driving change include national public health issues requiring specialized responses and reports recommending regionalization and consolidation. The meeting goals were to discuss the value of public health, financial challenges, and a vision for the future with community input. Next steps include an electronic survey and planning session to secure more resources to accomplish the public health mission.
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.
Enjoy this Bright Spot presentation with David Law of Joy-Southfield Community Development Corporation, which was presented at the 2013 Annual Leadership Conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Leadership (CHL) and the California Pacific Public Health Training Center (CALPACT) at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health.

This document summarizes Healthier Washington's Medicaid Transformation initiatives. It discusses three interconnected initiatives: Accountable Communities of Health, Long-Term Services and Supports, and Foundational Community Support Services. The Accountable Communities of Health involve 9 regional organizations working in areas like care coordination, opioid use reduction, and chronic disease management. The initiatives aim to address health inequities by improving access to services. Moving forward the focus will be on implementing projects, evaluating outcomes, and building sustainable partnerships.
This document provides a summary of a 2012 community health assessment conducted across 10 counties in Northern Michigan, including a special focus on Montmorency and Otsego Counties. The assessment was funded by various healthcare organizations and conducted over 15 months using the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) framework. Key findings from the assessment include that residents experience barriers to healthcare access and healthy behaviors related to obesity, physical activity, access to healthy foods and recreation, alcohol and drug use, and tobacco use. The assessment gathered data on over 250 health indicators and identified social and economic factors like lower education levels and income as influencing community health.
Well City Overview Professional DimensionsArvid_Tillmar
The document discusses chronic diseases and their impact on health care costs in the United States and Wisconsin. It notes that chronic diseases account for most deaths and health care spending, and prevention and management of chronic diseases could significantly reduce costs. Adopting healthy lifestyles and creating incentives for employee wellness are presented as ways to lower health care costs.

Wendy Davis: Leveraging Public Health Capacity to Improve Health System Effic...NASHP HealthPolicy
Many provisions of the ACA hold promise for public health agencies. The reorganization of the healthcare system in the wake of health reform also poses challenges for the public health system. This session will address how public health agency roles may change, opportunities to use public health agencies to lower health costs and improve health outcomes, and the integration of categorical funding streams to build a comprehensive public health system in a post-health reform world.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Health Reform:
Where is the Commonwealth
NOW?
Len M. Nichols, Ph.D.
Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics
The First Northern Virginia Health Summit
Springfield, VA
May 31, 2013
11. Review reform climate
• Virginia voted for Obama, twice
(and Sens. Webb and Kaine, respectively)
• McDonnell elected Governor in 2009, Rs
gained Senate split 20-20 after 2011 elections
• AG Cuccinelli first to file suit against ACA
• 26 person VHRI appointed by Gov, led by Sec.
Hazel, recommended, in December 2010:
State-run exchange
Prepare for Medicaid expansion, delivery reform
11
12. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Post-Supreme Court decision on ACA
• Created opportunity to oppose Obamacare in
the name of fiscal prudence for state
• Argument undercut by 3 facts:
Feds would pay 100% of expansion population
costs for 3 years, 90% thereafter
State would save money for 5-6 years, low cost
thereafter compared to economic benefit to state
Chamber of Commerce of VA came to support
Medicaid expansion
12
13. Where Innovation Is Tradition
De Facto Partnership on Exchange
• McDonnell decided, after SCOTUS, to NOT
apply for establishment grant for exchange
• Governor also did not want to use the word
“partnership” in deal with Feds
• Feds have signaled willingness to let Virginia
BOI do “plan management,” one key function
of partnership exchanges
13
14. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid possibilities
• Created by Senate split and Gov.’s desire for
transportation signature achievement
• Budget created Medicaid Innovation and Reform
Commission (MIRC)
• MIRC has 12 members, 3/5 from each house
must vote YES to judgment that:
ADEQUATE Medicaid reform progress is being
made to justify expansion in July of 2014
14
15. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Delegate Appointees to MIRC
• Steve Landes-R (Albemarle, Augusta,
Rockingham)
• Jimmie Massie-R (Henrico)
• John O’Bannon-R (Henrico, city of Richmond)
• Beverly Sherwood-R (Frederick, Warren, city of
Winchester)
• Johnny Joannou-D (cities of Chesepeake,
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk)
15
16. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Senate Appointees to MIRC
• Walter Stosch-R (Henrico, city of Richmond
• Emmet Hanger-R (Augusta, Greene, Madison,
Rockingham, cities of Staunton and Waynesboro)
• John Watkins-R (Powhatan, Chesterfield, city of
Richmond)
• Janet Howell-D (Fairfax, Arlington)
• Louise Lucas-D (Portsmouth).
16
17. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid Reforms DMAS is pursuing
• Statewide managed care, including for ABD and
foster children
• PACE expansion
• Enhanced program integrity
• Assessment requirements for CBHS
• Dual eligibles financial alignment demonstration
17
18. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid reforms DMAS is planning
• Comprehensive 1115 waiver to allow more
coordination, streamline with private insurance
features emerging in state employee, FAMIS,
exchange, etc.
• Use payment reform to leverage tight, high
quality networks
• Coordinate purchasing/delivery reforms in
public-private partnership
18
19. Virginia Health Innovation Center
• Created in 2012 on 2010 recommendation of
Virginia Health Reform Initiative Advisory
Council
• 501c3, housed at state Chamber of Commerce
• Seed money from stakeholder associations
• Surveyed providers, found 400 “examples,” now
has 6 task forces creating proposals for CMMI
PCMH, integrating behavioral and acute, medication
management, care transitions, consumer engagement,
bundles for babies
19
20. Where Innovation Is Tradition
Summary
• Medicaid expansion depends on 2013 elections
• Delivery reforms and some coverage expansion
through federal exchange will proceed
• Can collaboration replace individualism in
time?

Build on what already exists and leverage existing
resources to minimize the need for additional
costs initially.
Look for opportunities for early successes and set
realistic goals.
Listen to partners and be flexible.
Find ways to collaborate on priorities that further
each other’s mission.
Allow sufficient time for partnership to develop
and scale up gradually.
Make capacity building and sustainability a core
strategy of the partnership.
Partnership building is work, but rewarding!
