The REACH 2010: Charleston and Georgetown Diabetes Coalition is
the recipient of the 2006 CCPH Annual Award!
The
award, announced during the closing session of CCPH's 9th conference on June 3rd,
highlights the power and potential of partnerships between communities and
higher educational institutions as a strategy for improving health.
Selected from a competitive pool of nominations, the REACH 2010: Charleston and Georgetown Diabetes Coalition is a
partnership between the Charleston and Georgetown communities and the
Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Nursing that is
eliminating disparities for African Americans with diabetes through
community action, health systems change, and collaboration.
"The
Coalition demonstrates how community-campus partnerships can contribute to
significant health outcomes. The Coalition's focus on community-driven
education and systems change, supported by trusting relationships,
democratic governing structures and equitable sharing of power and
resources are hallmarks of this exemplary partnership that others can
aspire to," noted CCPH Executive
Director Sarena D. Seifer in presenting the award. Accepting the award on behalf of the
partnership were Virginia Thomas, Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority and REACH Community Health Advisor, North Charleston and Carolyn Jenkins, Professor of
Nursing and Ann Darlington Edwards Endowed Chair of Nursing at MUSC College
of Nursing.
This
year's award was supported by Jossey-Bass/Wiley Publishers and two
journals: Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education and
Action and the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement. Also announced at the conference were
three partnerships that received recognition as honorable mentions: The
Brazos Valley Health Partnership, the Stepping Up Project and the Flint Healthcare
Employment Opportunities Project.

MESSAGE FROM
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
|
|
Sarena Seifer
|
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health’s 9th
conference held last week in
Minneapolis was, in the words of one participant, “A life-changing
experience.” The conference, “Walking the Talk: Achieving the Promise
of Authentic Partnerships” drew an incredibly diverse group of
participants for 4 days of skill-building, networking and
agenda-setting. About 450 CCPH members from
40 states, DC, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ghana, India, The Netherlands,
Nigeria and South Africa were in attendance. Community participation was at its highest this year, thanks
to funding provided by the WK Kellogg Foundation, the Otto Bremer
Foundation, the Northwest Health Foundation and the Wellesley Institute. Thanks to an incredible conference
planning committee and staff team led by CCPH Administrative
Director Annika Sgambelluri, the
conference was by all accounts a success!
|
|
This article is part one of a
2-part series on the conference.
Part two will appear in the next issue of Partnership Matters on June 23rd. Yes, there’s that much to say!
On Wednesday May 31, conference
participants took part in one of five pre-conference institutes that
covered such topics as “Engaging Campuses as Authentic Partners: Tips &
Strategies for Community Leaders,” “Essentials of Service-Learning
Partnerships,” and “Making Your Best Case for Promotion and/or Tenure: A
Toolkit for Community-Engaged Faculty Members.” Another group spent the day learning about community-campus
partnerships and rural health workforce development in Willmar, Minnesota,
located 100 miles west of the Twin Cities.
|
|
Opening Reception was held at the Weisman Art
Museum
|
On Wednesday evening, participants
boarded buses to the Weisman Art Museum for the conference opening
reception sponsored by the University of Minnesota Academic Health
Center. This Frank Gehry-designed
building provided a lovely setting for conversation and camaraderie. Welcome remarks were provided by Susan Gust, CCPH board member and local community activist,
Barbara Brandt, Vice President of Education for the Academic Health Center,
and John Finnegan, Dean of the School of Public Health.
The conference began on Thursday
June 1 with a presentation by Loretta Jones that challenged us all to
strive for authenticity of our relationships between community and
campus. She drew on her experiences
as founding executive director of Healthy African American Families II, a non-profit, community serving agency whose
mission is to improve the health outcomes of the African American and
Latino communities in Los Angeles County.
The organization has partnerships with Charles Drew University,
University of California-Los Angeles, University of Southern California and
|
|
the RAND Corporation, all designed to create lasting effects in
health policy and practice that will enhance the health status of the
community. Among her many points and words of wisdom, she stressed the
importance of signing memorandums of agreement or understanding that spell
out rights and responsibilities that all partners agree to, and pointed to
an example from her agency at http://www.witness4wellness.org/council/agreement.html. She also referred to the
importance of establishing partnerships with organizations and institutions
and not just particular people, because people “get on and off the bus”
as their priorities change. She also acknowledged that not all are
cut out for partnership work, noting that “not all researchers should be
in communities.”
|
|
|
Skill-building workshops, story
sessions and thematic poster sessions took place throughout the
conference. I encourage you to
scan the abstracts at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/conf-agenda.html
to get a sense of the range, scope and accomplishments of community-campus
partnerships.
Another highlight of the day
was Part 1 of the 2-part Issue Thrash sessions. The series provides
participants an opportunity to explore shared issues and challenges, come
away with fresh ideas and new strategies to help meet those challenges, and
have their opinions heard on a national level by recommending ways that CCPH and other
stakeholders can be supportive. A
summary of these sessions, including resources and recommendations, will be
posted on the CCPH website shortly at www.ccph.info
and included in the conference proceedings, along with edited versions of
all plenary sessions and articles based on selected concurrent sessions.
The proceedings will be published as this year’s issue of CCPH’s
peer-reviewed, online open access publication Partnership Perspectives.
|
|
Friday June 1 began with one of
the more popular features of the conference: community site visits. Participants learned in-depth from local
partnerships by spending about three hours touring and talking with the partnership's
major stakeholders. This year,
participants had a choice of 17 different community site visits, an
impressive array of innovative community-campus partnerships in the Twin
Cities (each described at http://depts.washington.edu/ccph/conf-sitevisits.html). Participants returned to the hotel for lunch and a group
reflection facilitated by CCPH board member Chuck Conner.
|
|
|
An informational session on CCPH
held in the afternoon introduced participants to the CCPH
board and staff and presented the organization’s history and evolution,
programs, resources and opportunities for involvement. Click here
for the corresponding PowerPoint session. Four CCPH
members spoke about why they joined CCPH,
how they became involved and what the benefits have been: Ella Greene-Moton, Community-Academic Consultant and CCPH board chair-elect, Flint MI; Ruth
Nemire, Director of Community Engagement,
NOVA Southeastern University College of Pharmacy, Ft. Lauderdale,
FL; Anna Huff, Project Director, Mid performance
Delta Community Consortium, West Helena, AR; and Rohinee Lal, Community Liaison Coordinator, Simon Fraser University,
Burnaby, BC Canada. One opportunity for
involvement is serving on the 2007 conference planning committee.

The day ended with a Cocktail
Poster Session and Exhibitor Reception featuring over 80 posters and
exhibits. Midway through the
evening, we enjoyed a special performance by the local Danza Mexica
Cuauhtemoc Dancers, whose traditional dances and costumes are based in the
ancient tradition of honoring the earth, youth and elders, and building
community. You missed an
exhilarating show! For more information, visit http://www.cuauhtemoc.org/
On Saturday June 3, we examined
the perspectives that funding agencies bring to the whole arena of community-campus
partnerships. A plenary panel
featured representatives of 4 funding agencies. Below are excerpts of their remarks.
Joan Cleary, Associate Director of the Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation (www.bluecrossmn.com/foundation) emphasized the importance of
partnerships to achieving the social change needed to create healthier
communities. The Foundation provided a grant to the Healthcare Education
and Industry Partnership (HEIP), a program of the Minnesota State Colleges
and Universities, to support the development of a standardized training
curriculum for community health workers (CHWs) through the state’s
community college system. The Foundation’s successful nomination of HEIP under
the Local Initiatives Funding Partnership led to a planning grant by the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Through these efforts, the Foundation is serving as a catalyst to
promote the use of CHWs as a strategy for improving health care cultural
competence, addressing training and Minnesota's health care work force
shortage and reducing health disparities.

Sarah
Flicker, Director of Research at the Wellesley Institute in Toronto, ON
Canada (www.wellesleyinstitute.com), noted
that when reviewing proposals, Wellesley peer reviewers rate the potential
impact of a project. Is it of
sufficient scope to offer broad learning?
Does it have a dissemination plan that reaches multiple audiences in
appropriate formats? “It’s fine to
have a plan to submit articles for peer-reviewed publications. But we also look for dissemination
products and strategies that will reach the intended audience. A 20-page report will not reach many
youth, but an interactive website or theatre piece might.” Potential impact is also assessed in
terms of the link to action. Sarah
cited The Street Health Report as an example. Homeless people have largely been excluded from
government census health surveys, which depend on people having an address
or telephone number. The 1992 Street Health report was a
|
|
groundbreaking
piece of research which documented the health status and the barriers faced
by homeless people in accessing health care. This report was the first of
its kind in North America and continues to be cited today.
Street Health is now conducting research to create the 2006 Street Health
Report. The project is surveying 350 homeless men and women in Toronto
about their health status, well-being and access to social services and
health care. The resulting report will provide a sound evidence-base of
knowledge to inform and strengthen advocacy efforts.
Cheryl Maurana, Director of the Healthier Wisconsin
Partnership Program (HWPP) in Milwaukee, WI (www.mcw.edu/healthierwisconsin), emphasized the role that
funders, including HWPP, can play in being a partner and change agent in
effecting systemic changes that can improve health. She also observed a number of pitfalls
in applications that have not been funded, including: A lack of clear
project purpose or plan; unbalanced or unacceptable leadership; a history
of conflict among key interests; unrealistic goals with unattainable
timelines; hurried or forced relationships; ineffective communication;
overburdened financial commitments; ill-distributed responsibility; and
exclusivity/silo-thinking.
Terri D. Wright, Program Director at the WK Kellogg
Foundation in Battle Creek, MI, (www.wkkf.org) discussed how community-campus
partnerships and community-based participatory research are strategic
approaches to operationalizing the Foundation’s mission. She challenged the audience to take
their partnerships to the next level.
“There is adoption of the concept of community-campus partnerships,
but we are not taking it as far as it needs to go. There have been advances in the academic
community, where the paradigm has opened up to begin to include CBPR. For example, we now have a new journal
to publish CBPR that the Foundation is supporting [see below for
details]. What is missing is the
social action, the policy and systems changes that are needed to achieve
health and economic equity,” she stated.
“We need to reinfuse this social justice mission.”
She indicated that the Foundation’s grant making in this
arena has evolved over the years based on the lessons it has learned. “We have found that in many cases, when
our funding to universities ends, the partnership or program ends. We now emphasize the community over the
campus. Communities hold the
knowledge and have an infinite understanding of the issues,” she
emphasized. “Health requires
community leadership and engagement.
These are central to what partnerships should be fostering, not by-products.”
During the closing dinner and awards ceremony, the REACH
2010 Charleston and Georgetown Diabetes Coalition was presented with the 5th Annual CCPH Award.
In my next
column, I’ll highlight remarks made by closing keynote speaker Angela
Glover Blackwell, CEO of PolicyLink, the poster award winners and
reflections on the conference as a whole.
In the meantime, mark your calendars NOW for next year’s CCPH 10th Anniversary Conference, April 11-14,
2007 in Toronto ON Canada!

Community-Based
Learning: Engaging Students for Success and Citizenship
This
new report highlights the value of the community-based learning approach to
improving academic outcomes, including test scores, attendance rates, and
graduation rates, as well as personal, social, and work-related outcomes.
Research shows that as many as 60% of all students are disengaged from
learning and that this is a key factor in the dropout rate. How do we
combat this disengagement? Community-based Learning addresses these issues
by involving students in real-world problem solving that ignites the imagination
and the intellect of our young people. To read the report go to http://www.communityschools.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=49

Inside and Out: Universities and Education
for Sustainable Development
CCPH Member Linda
Silka,
Director of the University of Massachusetts-Lowell Center for Family Work
and Community, examines the question of how does a university restructure
its myriad activities, maintain its academic integrity, and have a
transformative impact off campus? The perspective of this book, based on
research and projects in the field, is that long-term, sustainable social
and economic development requires strategies geared toward the scientific,
technical, cultural, and environmental aspects of development.
The book is being offered at:
