2013 was a year like no other for coverage advocates in the United States. With the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) first year of open enrollment nearly upon us, Vitalyst Health Foundation initially convened a small group of key Arizona partners to discuss how to most effectively deal with an incredible coverage opportunity amidst an uncertain landscape.

Problems that seem impossible at first are often the most interesting to tackle. At a time when the health care system is facing a host of challenges, many with attributes that are impossible to solve alone, we see organizations from across the health and social sectors combining their skills and expertise through interesting partnerships to crack the “impossible” together.

Amidst the backdrop of substantial decreases in tobacco use among adults, and particularly young people, tobacco prevention can seem to be a battle that has been fought and won. There is still much to do, however, to protect individuals from secondhand smoke, prevent youth from beginning tobacco use, and address tobacco related disparities.

The health care delivery system is evolving to value prevention over intervention. There is an increasing interest in addressing the social determinants of health through health system-community partnerships. There are more health foundations willing to fund policy advocacy as a strategy to improve the overall health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

Care for people with co-occurring conditions remains terribly fragmented. Three separate systems exist—health, mental health, and substance use services—to care for each individual problem, each one with its own set of norms, culture, regulations, reimbursement process, and accountability.

Register for the GIH Fall Forum by Friday
|
|
Each fall, GIH hosts the Fall Forum, designed for funders with a strong interest in health policy. The Fall Forum is an excellent opportunity for grantmakers to get up-to-speed on current issues, interact with leading thinkers, and connect with one another. Funders return home with a deeper understanding of important topics, an introduction to some key players, and ideas about how to apply what they've learned to their work. Registration is open until this Friday for the 2018 Fall Forum, which will include three meetings:
Count Us In! Roles for Health Funders in Ensuring a Fair and Accurate Census
Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Hope and Healing: A Public Health Approach to Youth Violence Prevention
Thursday, November 15, 2018
All Eyes on the States: A Post-Election Analysis
Friday, November 16, 2018
The second day of the Fall Forum will also feature the sixth annual Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture, delivered by Rev. Starsky D. Wilson, President and CEO of the Deaconess Foundation. Register to join your colleagues at the GIH Fall Forum to learn more and explore critical issues.
