We often think of health in terms of health care. But our communities—the places where we live, learn, work, and play—also have lasting impact on our health and well-being, as do the forces shaping these environments. So at TEDMED 2016, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) challenged Delegates to re-imagine our perception of health care.

Cities are becoming the most prominent context for social change in the world today, and they offer exciting opportunities for participative governance. A model of “systematic civic stewardship” frames the city as community-based, action-learning system. Leaders play key roles in neighborhood teams focused on local challenges (graduation rates, health outcomes, etc.), while learning and working with peers via city-wide communities of practice. We have much to learn about learning systems in any context—understanding how they work in communities and cities draws on organization experience and provokes new insights.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2. Speakers and Hive Innovators
reimagined healthy communities in
their TEDMED Talks.
RWJF honored seven U.S.
communities as 2016 Culture of
Health Prize Winners for making
great strides toward better health and
well-being.
From the
Program
From
RWJF
Delegates shared ideas for
programs and policies that they’d
like to see in their own locales,
while online participants submitted
their visions on Twitter and
Facebook. Every idea was
displayed in the Hive exhibit.
From the
TEDMED Delegates
We often think of health in terms of health care. But our communities—the places where we live,
learn, work, and play—also have lasting impact on our health and well-being, as do the forces
shaping these environments. So at TEDMED 2016, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)
challenged Delegates to re-imagine our perception of health care.
Building a Culture of Health
3. The Themes
1. Micro shifts can have macro impact
2. Communities are innovation test kitchens
3. Mind the gaps
4. Build community into the business model
5. Art acts as a community cure
6. Our cities define our selves
7. It takes a village
8. Strangers aren’t dangers
4. Want to change the world? Start small. Pandemics such as
Ebola begin with a single case. Speaker Jeremy Farrar focuses
on community-level responses to stem pandemic destruction,
while Kinnos fights back with visible contamination sprays that
reduce hospital error. Speaker and healthy-eating evangelist
Gunhild Stordalen believes that our individual actions reverberate
across the global food system.
We encourage radical candor, support,
and activities among our neighbors.
- Delegate in Narberth, PA
What if we started with healthy bake sales
at schools to encourage nutritious diets at
an early age?
- Delegate in Durham, NC
Micro shifts
can have
macro impact

5. Your local neighborhood can serve as your lab.
Health clinicians can look to the medical marijuana
dispensaries in their neighborhoods to emulate their
personal, customized method of care, as speaker
David Casarett suggests. In the Columbia River
Gorge region of the Pacific Northwest, new
partnerships—like dentists paired up with local
school districts—help connect the dots in health
prevention. And community facilities can be
remixed, too: In New Hampshire, fire stations also
serve as safe havens and intake centers for people
with addictions.
Grocery stores can act like demo kitchens to teach
citizens to prepare healthy foods.
- Delegate in Boston, MA
Community health clinics could prescribe more
than medication: food, housing, or heat.
- Delegate in Portland, ME
Libraries should lend more than books, like bikes
to keep community members moving.
- Delegate in San Diego, CA
Communities
are innovation
test kitchens

6. The key to healthier communities often lies between the
cracks, in what is overlooked and rarely addressed. Speaker
Susie Baldwin helps physicians go beyond the usual vital signs to
identify victims of human trafficking. Speaker Sue Klebold has
devoted her life to advancing mental illnesses treatment before
tragic events occur. Meanwhile, Watsi connects donors to
patients in need so their life-saving treatments can be funded, no
matter how underserved their communities.
Mind the gaps
3.
”
“ Communities need more adult education
programs to up-skill adult learners and open up
new job opportunities.
- Delegate in Philadelphia, PA
Identify the biggest health challenges in specific
areas and create local campaigns to address them;
employ undercover healthcare ambassadors to
penetrate these sights.
- Delegate in Bryce, VA
Chicago is resource-segregated. We should create
more resources, like pharmacies and grocery stores,
and distribute them more evenly across the city,
while improving the safety of public transit stops.
- Delegate in Chicago, ILPhoto credit: TEDMED
7. Business can benefit all. As part of the Culture of Health
community winners, a town in Missouri called Pagedale
established a nonprofit community land trust to expand residents’
access to home ownership and strengthen community ties. And
Benefunder connects donors to underfunded research needs by
letting backers identify the specific projects they want to support,
resulting in a funding model that pays dividends.
Partnerships drive mutual value: Pair up school
programs and local farmers to provide healthy
food to our kids.
- Delegate in Philadelphia, PA
Our local Starbucks should host community
events in the evening. It’s good for the
business and good for the neighborhood.
- Delegate in San Mateo, CA
Let’s encourage partnering between local
businesses to bring new customers to our
farmer’s market.
- Delegate in Suffolk, VA
Build
community into
the business
model

8. Modern art therapy comes in all forms. Speaker Emi
Mahmoud believes that spoken word can teach community youth
empathy and empowerment. And in Louisville, Kentucky, a
vacant lot became a drum-circle venue while a liquor store turned
into an art-making space to help residents use art to address
community health needs. For speaker Ted Meyer, art made by
patients’ scars not only serves as a creative outlet, but also a tool
that depicts their care realities so medical school students can
learn from patients’ experiences.
School art programs can partner with
hospitals or elderly care homes to display
inspiring works.
- Delegate in Jacksonville, FL
Meditative mindsets could benefit our
nation’s decision makers with daily pauses
or dances, and shared leadership practices.

10. Together, we can change our neighborhoods. In North St.
Louis, Missouri, 24 municipalities came together to create 24:1, a
coalition of counties determined to build stronger communities,
engaged families, and successful children. From fitness classes
to senior centers to meetings with the mayor, the initiative brings
change by bringing people together. On the West Coast, Santa
Monica, California, uses another collaboration model: Citizens
help the homeless by bringing together police and fire
departments; city human services; health and housing offices;
and nonprofit service providers.

Delegates reminded us that more than ever, people need to come
together. Speaker Larissa MacFarquhar told the story of extreme
altruists who feel driven to save the lives of total strangers. And
the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe in Washington state puts out the
welcome mat for neighbors from surrounding communities. When
the reservation opened a gym, commercial fishermen from a
neighboring town were invited to join for free. Even the tribe’s
small police force is integrated with law enforcement officers from
other nearby areas.
