Presentation from NACCHO 2013 Annual Conference featuring Erica Salem, MPH, Deputy Commissioner, Chicago Department of Public Health, Kathleen Dickhut, BA, MSLA, Deputy Commissioner, City of Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development, Luann Hamilton, BA, MS, Deputy Commissioner, Chicago Department of Transportation, and Stephanie Whyte, MBA, FAAP, Chief Health Office, Chicago Public Schools.
This session highlights how non-public health City of Chicago agencies work with the Chicago Public Health Department to develop and implement a broad array of policy, systems, environmental, and programmatic solutions to public health challenges. While the work is occurring under a unified framework, each agency is able to contribute while fulfilling its unique mission.
This PowerPoint presentation assists the discussion from the second City Exchange Project session. This sessions focuses on Race, Food Justice, and Policy Implications/Implementation. CRFS Project participants from 6 US cities participated in this discussion.
This presentation is a review of what we've accomplished during the first two years of our project, which focuses on research, education, outreach, and advocacy to address food security in urban areas.
Addressing Obesity In The Latino Community Through Community-based Advocacy In Baldwin Park
Alfred Mata, Local Policy Specialist, California Center for Public Health Advocacy.
In the 4th session of the City Exchange Project, participants will discuss urban agricultural production -- benefits, challenges, auxiliary purposes, etc. -- and issues affecting land access in urban areas.
The goal of this toolkit is to help you figure out what local and sustainable food is available in your region, what of it your university could be buying, and what’s missing to make this happen.
By the end of using this toolkit, you’ll know a lot more about the agricultural industry of your area– not just how it’s working now, but how it got to where it is, who’s involved in shaping its future, and how your campus can help.
Presentation about the Community and Regional Food Systems project given at the 2013 Wisconsin Local Food summit.
Included is an overview of the project, discussion of the food system framework we're creating, examples from our community engagement projects (carrots to schools, lead contamination, food policy council evaluation, healthy corner stores), and a review of our project's values and outcomes (just, healthy, place-based, prosperous, and sustainable).
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 from Florence Simpson, Food Service Manager, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Ariana Oliva of the California Food Policy Advocates, 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.
