USAging’s Aging and Disability Business Institute, in partnership with HealthBegins and Williams Jaxon Consulting, LLC, and with funding from the John A. Hartford Foundation, is excited to launch new learning collaboratives for Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and community-based organizations (CBOs). The learning collaboratives are designed to assist with the challenges of addressing health disparities and achieving health equity in communities and states. The two new collaboratives are:
- The Network Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Learning Collaborative (NDEILC), led by Sharon Williams with Williams Jaxon Consulting, LLC, which will support up to 12 networks of AAAs and CBOs in building and strengthening their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies and practices. The collaborative will equip network leadership with the knowledge and skills necessary to create and sustain realistic and actionable DEI strategies to enhance their business culture, create more consumer-friendly programs and services, and demonstrate value to the health care ecosystem.
- The Building Accountability for Health Equity Learning Collaborative (BAHELC), led by HealthBegins, which will provide up to 12 AAAs with the knowledge and skills necessary to strengthen and sustain institutional accountability for health equity. The primary purpose of this collaborative is to equip AAA leaders with the understanding and capabilities required to build and maintain accountability mechanisms and institutional capacity essential to implementing, tracking, and reporting on efforts to address health disparities.
Applications are due by November 21, 2022. Sessions begin in January 2023.
