The best change occurs when the communities most affected
are involved. Moving toward health equity requires full participation
by communities of color in the policy making process and implementation of the
Affordable Care Act. Community Catalyst conducted an assessment to identify
emerging and effective ways state consumer health advocates and community-based
organizations are engaging communities of color in creating policy change to
advance the ACA.
On this call speakers will:
* Share the findings from the research,
including best practices used by
state and
local advocates in five states Alabama, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York and
Oregon
* Hear from advocates in New York and Minnesota
about the work in their
work to
advance health equity
* Offer recommendations for state and national
organizations and
funders
