| In California, three groups have emerged to lead innovative projects that address public health regionally. This replicable approach has multiple benefits: the ability to maintain a close connection with local programs and communication with the state; the ability to optimize the use of often limited institutional resources; expansion of innovative models; and a connection to media advocacy, regulatory decisions, and other structures that are uniquely regional. Additionally, regional programs are able to elevate local experiences to shape state level policy. This session will be moderated by The California Endowment, along with the benefits they see in regional collaborations. The three projects featured in this session are as follows: The Regional Asthma Management & Prevention Initiative (RAMP) is a project of the Public Health Institute, founded in 1996 to bring together diverse constituents to collaborate in a comprehensive approach to reduce the burden of asthma in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative (BARHII) is a group of public health directors, health officers and senior staff from six public health departments in the Bay Area who came together to develop a regional approach to transforming public health practice for the purpose of eliminating health inequities using a broad spectrum of approaches that improve community health. The Central California Public Health Partnership (CCPHP) came together four years ago to build public health infrastructure in the Central Valley. Their most recent focus has been a multi-tiered approach to preventing obesity and diabetes | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1)Articulate the advantages of a regional approach to public health; 2)Describe three models of regional collaboration addressing three public health issues; and 3)Discuss replicability of regional public health collaborations. | |||
