Gaps in data limit our knowledge of #HealthDisparities and our ability to eliminate them. “We don’t know” is no longer an acceptable answer. Thanks to @commonwealthfnd for their support of this vital work.

[GIH CEO @GIHealth_CEO]

Such an important comment to close the 2020 #GIHFF! @eehlinger noted the data show that communities with higher rates of civic participation and civic engagement are healthier. Board support is critical to advancing philanthropic work in this area, and sometimes hard to get.

[Grantmakers In Health @GIHealth]

"Democracy building should be an essential part of what every foundation does. It has to be built into the core of what they're doing." - @eehlinger encourages foundations to take civic engagement on to tackle existential threats like climate change, pandemic, etc. of #GIHFF

@ruralhealthinfo @GIHealth @DeptVetAffairs @CMSGov @HRSAgov @CDCgov A8: Medicare Advantage plans are addressing social needs through supplemental benefits. Many health providers are also addressing social needs, such as housing, for people with multiple visits to the emergency department. A lot to be inspired by! #RuralHealthChat #PowerofRural

[GIH CEO @GIHealth_CEO]

@ruralhealthinfo @GIHealth A8: Additionally, a great deal of work is being accomplished at the governmental level. This includes the @DeptVetAffairs Office of Rural Health, the @CMSGov Office of Minority Health, @HRSAgov Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, and @CDCgov. #RuralHealthChat #PowerofRural
