A growing number of CILs and other community-based organizations (CBOs) are entering into contracts as part of a CBO network led by a CCH. CCHs provide administrative and operational infrastructure for a network of CBOs and enable efficient contracting and sustainable financing to better serve populations in need. \nThis webinar will define and introduce the CCH model\, illustrate the various roles for CILs in engaging in a CCH-led network\, and feature CIL leaders and their experiences in partnering with a CCH and operationalizing health care contracts through the CCH model.

Older adults\, especially those who are low-income\, face structural discrimination in the form of ageism\, and many also experience additional forms of discrimination stemming from their intersecting identities. All these challenges result in structural barriers that must be decimated to allow all older adults to thrive. Come to this presentation to learn how structural discrimination impacts older adults and how policy can be leveraged to eliminate structural barriers that older adults experience. In addition\, gain practical strategies on how you as a professional working with older adults can advance equity in your work. \nParticipants in this webinar will: \n\nIdentify three ways in which structural discrimination impacts older adults.\nArticulate four programs or policies that can or have had the impact of advancing equity for older adults.\nIdentify three types of opportunities to advance equity in their work/community.\n\nPresenter: \nDenny Chan serves as the managing attorney of Justice in Aging’s Equity Advocacy team. In this role\, he is responsible for developing and leading Justice in Aging’s Strategic Initiative on Advancing Equity\, with a primary focus on race equity for older adults of color\, and he also coordinates the organization’s equity team. He joined Justice in Aging as an attorney on the health team in 2014 and is based in Los Angeles. The son of working-class Chinese immigrant parents\, Denny has worked significantly on non-discrimination\, language access and healthcare delivery reform issues for low-income older adults and brings all of these experiences to his advocacy.

This stereotype couldn’t be further from the truth. A recent Gallup poll found that 7% of American adults identify as LGBTQ\, the highest number of LGBTQ residents in the United States since Gallup began polling. Other studies show that 22% of people ages 65 and older reported having a disability\, and yet another study found that by 2030\, the population of older racial/ethnic minority populations will increase by 89%\, compared to a 39% increase in White older adults. \nThis webinar will review in-depth intersecting minority identities among older adults (focusing primarily on race\, disability\, social class\, and LGTBQ+ identities) and will encourage participants to explore their own biases and assumptions\, as well as strategies for reducing cultural bias in clinical interactions. A model will be shared for deepening interpersonal cultural humility and vignettes will be used to apply knowledge. \nParticipants in this webinar will: \n\nDefine cultural humility.\nIllustrate intersecting minority identities among people older than age 65 (focusing primarily on age\, race\, disability\, social class\, and LGTBQ+ identities).\nDescribe the important role of resilience factors among minoritized people older than age 65.\n\nPresenter: \nDr. Regina Koepp is a board-certified clinical psychologist and founder and director of the Center for Mental Health & Aging. She is the lead medical psychologist at University of Vermont Medical Center and creator and host of the Psychology of Aging Podcast. She is a sought-after speaker on the topics of mental health and aging\, caregiving\, ageism\, cultural humility\, sexual health and aging\, intimacy in the context of life-altering Illness and dementia and sexual expression.

The goal of this training is to provide a foundational knowledge and understanding of DEI principles for individuals\, organizations and communities. \nDEI implementation and training is a bit of buzz phrase right now; however\, foundational understanding is missing. This session will provide various perspectives from those who have been historically marginalized. During this webinar there will be plenty of room for asking questions\, seeking clarification\, understanding the importance of historical and social context\, and viewing the world through the lenses of underrepresented\, underserved\, historically marginalized communities of color. It is an opening for individuals to learn firsthand how these factors impact families and how they navigate the world. \nParticipants in this webinar will: \n\nLearn foundational information on the historical context of DEI and how to implement this knowledge into their work.\nIdentify key components associated with the impact of historical trauma and how historical context affects non-Anglo-Saxon/White communities.\nLearn how transmission of generational trauma presents itself within non-Anglo-Saxon/White communities.\n\nPresenter: \nJennifer Horn\, MSW\, is a care manager at the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging in Colorado Springs and has spent nearly two decades researching older LGBT adults’ transmission of trauma\, historical context\, intersectionality and racial injustice. She is an active member of American Society on Aging’s equity and justice advisory council and an ASA RISE inaugural cohort Fellow. She volunteers with Spark the Change Colorado and is a board member with ZAMI NOBLA (National Organization of Black Lesbians on Aging). In 2022\, she was the awardee of the Pikes Peak Region DEI Champions in Advocacy award. Additionally\, she is a published co-author in the Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences.

Meaningful patient engagement can help health care organizations build trust within communities\, improve their understanding of cultural preferences and needs in the community\, and inform organizational policies and practices. \nThis Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) webinar will highlight how two New York-based health care organizations — John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital and The New York Foundling — are engaging patients in new ways to transform their health care delivery practices. Lessons from these efforts can inform health care organizations across the country seeking to involve patients\, particularly patients of color\, in efforts to advance health equity. These organizations are participants in Engaging Patients of Color to Advance Health Equity\, a CHCS learning collaborative supported by the New York Health Foundation. \nHealth care organizations\, community-based organizations\, patients and patient advocates\, and other interested stakeholders are invited to join this 60-minute event.
