Aligning Systems Promising Practices Panel

Aligning Systems Promising Practices Panel:

Moving the needle on health equity is not a one-person job. It calls for ongoing, orchestrated coordination across organizations, sectors, jurisdictions, and communities. This Promising Practices Panel will feature three speakers who have made their role into a hub for coordination to address complex challenges. This interactive session will allow participants to hear how the panelists have brought systems together for health equity in three very different ways, and to get advice on their own alignment opportunities.

We will hear from:

• Sarah Schanckof One Safe Place Macon Family Justice Center, a central location where victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder and dependent adult abuse, and human trafficking abuse can access life-saving comprehensive services and support from a variety of co-located non-profit organizations, criminal justice agencies, and other service providers in a single space.
• Barry Keppard from the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, who is leading work for the implementation of the MetroFuture Plan through a combination of public health, land use, environmental, and transportation planning projects; and
• Richard Sheward, Director of System Implementation Strategies for Children's HealthWatch, where he leads the Children's Health Watch Social Vital Signs™ Communities of Practice, and convenes local and national organizations, researchers, and policymakers to inform and influence policy decisions that improve children's health.
