Families are connected to both schools and communities, shouldn’t family supports be integrated too? In Alameda, we have forged a county-district-CBO partnership to create a family “hub” or central family resource center in one district. We will share our approach, focusing on the innovative partnerships and financing strategies that have made it possible.

California Community Care Coordination Collaborative - April 9, 2013 WebinarLucilePackardFoundation
The California Community Care Coordination Collaborative launched its work with an introductory webinar on April 9. The goal of the Collaborative, funded by the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, is to improve the quality of care coordination for children with special health care needs by providing a structured opportunity for leaders to learn from one another, identify areas of shared need, discuss emerging challenges and connect with others engaged in this work. Each of the six regional coalitions participating in the Collaborative has begun work. In June, these coalitions will come together at the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, which is funding the project, for their first all-day meeting. As the work of the Collaborative develops, we will post resources and information about care coordination.
Telehealth ROCKS RAISE Health Innovations Presentation - HIT September 2023KC Digital Drive
These slides were presented at the September 2023 meeting of the KC Digital Drive Health Innovation Team.
The University of Kansas Medical Center's Telehealth ROCKS program is a federally-funded collaborative effort involving government, state and local organizations, universities, health care providers, and school districts to collectively meet the behavioral health needs of children and their families. The program focuses on comprehensive approaches, including a focus on the social drivers of health, targeted services, and clinical care.
At the recent Place Matters conference in Washington, D.C., David Williams, PhD, the Norman Professor of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health and staff director of the reconvened Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America, talked about the need for cooperation between the community development industry and health leaders.
“Community development and health are working side by side in the same neighborhoods and often with the same residents but often don’t know each other or coordinate efforts.”
Explore our infographic on 'Essential Metrics for Palliative Care Management' which highlights key performance indicators crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of palliative care services.
This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
