Health equity is a core element to high-quality primary care. Advancing health equity is both an outcome and a process that requires continuous learning and improvement. The CIN racial health equity toolkit is designed to help organizations who provide, pay for, or support primary care translate their verbal commitment of racial health equity into reality.
In this CIN webinar, led by Elevation Health Partners, we’ll discuss the CIN toolkit for advancing racial health equity and hear how Elevation Health Partners is using the PATH TA Marketplace to support Health Centers to initiate health equity improvement efforts using the CIN toolkit. Elevation Health Partners will showcase their support for this work by highlighting their collaboration with T.H.E. Health and Wellness Center’s showing a practical example of how the CIN toolkit was used to embed the nine drivers of health equity in every level of the organization. Participants will also learn about the initial steps taken at the leadership level to create buy-in and foundational understanding of racism and racial health equity, steps taken to identify and prioritize racial health equity improvement efforts, and preliminary outcomes from this work.
This webinar is intended for all leaders and support and administrative staff engaged in DEI. Attendees should come prepared to actively participate and engage in Q/A with the presenters throughout the webinar.
At the end of the webinar participants will:
- Understand how to implement the California Improvement Network’s (CIN) Toolkit to Advance Racial Health Equity in Primary Care in an FQHC setting.
