August's BONfire: Leaving a lasting legacy by leaning into data and care equity.
.png?width=1232&height=928&name=Aug%20BONfire%20(1).png "Aug BONfire (1)")
Health equity can become a strategic investment. From food insecurity and housing instability to transportation gaps, social determinants of health continue to widen disparities and drive up costs. But what if addressing these upstream issues could reduce chronic conditions, ER visits, and hospital readmissions?
Join ACHDM Fellows Janet Desroche, Holly Davis, Daisy Rodriguez, and Leigh Williams as they share how hospitals in vastly different communities—urban Chicago, suburban Virginia, and rural Idaho—are proving that intentional investments in community health are leading to measurable improvements in outcomes and costs. From grassroots partnerships to innovative care models, this BONfire will spotlight real-world efforts that are turning equity into action.
Discussion Topics:
Health Equity and Cost Reduction, Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), Hospital-Led Community Investment, Care Model Innovation, Cross-Sector Collaboration, Strategies in Urban, Suburban, and Rural Settings, Measurable Outcomes in Equity-Based Care.
