HASC’s Communities Lifting Communities presents a unique model for hospital-community partnerships that boost community health from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on Friday, April 30 at this month’s Virtual Annual Meeting. 

Learning from Community Investment Innovators: A Capstone Roundtable reveals how multi-sector partners can leverage their resources to move the needle on social determinants of health, including affordable housing, homelessness initiatives, healthy food, education, workforce training, parks and transportation access.

Speakers will discuss the types of financing strategies being deployed, ranging from anchor institutions, blending and braiding funding, community development financing institutions, accountable communities for health, and social impact investing. 

CLC also invites member hospitals to attend May’s Advancing Health Equity: Pathways for Hospitals to Improve Health Virtual Workshop. The day-long event runs from 9 to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, May 14. It will be offered again, via videoconference, on Friday, Aug. 13 and Friday, Oct. 29.

The intensive one-day workshop is offered by HASC and presented by CLC and the Public Health Alliance of Southern California. It provides an in-depth overview of the role hospitals play in advancing health equity across their organizations and in the communities they serve. The workshop covers concepts central to advancing health equity — including an overview of the difference between equity and equality in a health care setting, the root causes of health inequities (both historical and contemporary) and the impact of implicit bias and racism on current health outcomes.

Participants will learn strategies for how hospitals can work to transform their organizations into anchor institutions by adopting an anchor mission and aligning institutional resources. In addition, the course will cover relevant legislation recently passed at the state level.
