Opportunities to Integrate "Root Cause" Determinants of Community Health in the CHNA Process: Focusing on Food Insecurity
FREE Webinar
12:00 noon
Speaker: Marydale DeBor, JD, Founder/Managing Director of Fresh Advantage LLC. freshadvantage.com
Food relates to obesity, diabetes, and other diet sensitive diseases that are ranked among the top priority needs in Community Health Needs Assessments. When people have limited food resources, it is difficult to eat the specified diet that is necessary for preventing or managing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and/ or obesity. There are increasing opportunities for hospitals to leverage their limited resources by aligning their efforts with diverse public and private stakeholders who are currently working to address food insecurity at local and regional levels. Community food security, the food environment and diet-related health measures can be incorporated into the CHNA process and the Implementation Strategy: from secondary and primary data collection, to setting of priority needs, to partnerships at the community level, to models of interventions in health improvement plans.
This webinar will focus on resources and tools that can be incorporated into community benefit initiatives to address food insecurity and improve opportunities for healthy food choices. Information will be shared from the new guidance: Making Food Systems Part of Your Community Health Needs Assessment: Practical Guidance from the Tackling Hunger Project. Register today!
