Health Equity Belongs to Everybody

Spencer C. Johnson Health Policy Lecture
Thursday, June 29 • 8:45 – 9:30 a.m.

Alisahah Jackson, MD, is highly passionate about health equity, advocating that everyone should have the ability to achieve great health, no matter what they look like, how much money they make or where they come from. As president of the Lloyd H. Dean Institute for Humankindness & Health Justice at CommonSpirit, Jackson is charged with leveraging the science of kindness, compassion, empathy and trust to accelerate health equity and social justice systematically across multiple states and counties. In this session, Jackson will outline:

• How information and observational studies outside of typical healthcare data can be used to uncover health disparities and guide clinical approaches to health improvement.
• Ways to leverage partnerships and technology to connect patients to social resources.
• Organizational strategies for developing a more diverse healthcare workforce to meet the health and social needs of future generations.
• Relationship and communication strategies for overcoming misinformation and lack of trust within communities.

Taking Health Further

General Session
Thursday, June 29 • 10:30 – 11 a.m.

When Marcus Whitney moved to Nashville in 2000, he was a college dropout with a one-year-old, waiting tables and living in a week-to-week efficiency hotel. Whitney knew harnessing his creativity and “stickwithitness” to solve business problems was his path to a better life. Marcus became a successful entrepreneur in the software and digital marketing space. He co-founded venture capital firm Jumpstart Health Investors and started Jumpstart Nova, the first fund investing exclusively in Black-founded and led healthcare startups. In the midst of the pandemic and America’s investment in equity and inclusion, Whitney used his influence with healthcare leaders to acknowledge racism and inequities in power and wealth accumulation. Today he is a strong voice for change. In this session, Whitney will discuss:

• Actions focused on diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice, including examples of empowering communities to fight health disparities.
• Partnerships among stakeholders to bring new, inclusive innovative solutions to healthcare delivery.
• His path to mental wellness and balance.

Fireside Chat: Problem Solving Urgent Challenges

General Session
Thursday, June 29 • 11 – 11:30 a.m.

Our mission is to provide safe, affordable care to families. But are we really moving the needle? Every family has a story about unmet needs and every provider has a process for meeting these needs. But until the gap between these two is solved, disparities will continue. Alisahah Jackson, MD, and Marcus Whitney will share their experiences in problem-solving and collaborating to improve health and well-being.

Talking Health: Good Health Depends on Better Communication

General Session
Friday, June 30 • 8:15 – 9 a.m.

Public health in the United States has been underfunded, undervalued and misunderstood largely because of the unclear and inconsistent way leaders talk about it. Communication is key and constantly evolving and because of serious vulnerabilities and systematic injustice, leaders have an opportunity to embrace new ways of communicating. Brian Castrucci, DrPH, MA, president and CEO of the deBeaumont Foundation and an author of “Talking Health,” will review messages that change language and transform public perception. Castrucci will explain ways to:

• Define public health more clearly.
• Reframe public health assumptions.
• Avoid messages that backfire.
• Bring data to life through storytelling.

The Coffee Bean: Lessons to Create Positive Change

Closing Session
Friday, June 30 • 9:15 – 10:15 a.m.

At 20 years old, Damon West was a division 1 starting quarterback at the University of North Texas when he suffered a career-ending injury. He turned to hard-core drugs to cope with the injury and disappointments of life, eventually going to prison. During his incarceration, West had a spiritual awakening. Armed with a program of recovery, renewed faith and a miraculous second chance at life, West emerged a changed man. He is now a college professor, internationally known keynote speaker and best-selling author of “The Coffee Bean: A Simple Lesson to Create Positive Change.” His story of redemption, grit and determination is inspirational.
