View Award Description

Healthy Ties That Bind Coalition - The Leadership Council for Healthy Communities (LCHC) formed the Health Ties That Bind under a CDC 2014 REACH grant to train health coordinators in faith organizations to link to community based and clinical preventive health services; establish a functioning health information exchange system to make referral linkages; and increase awareness of community preventive health resources. Despite great success with these objectives, health disparity is deeply entrenched in the District of Columbia (DC). It emerges from historical inequities in policy, systems, economic opportunity and environments. Disparities in smoking rates and chronic disease such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and hypertension track to the neighborhoods with high prevalence of poverty, unemployment and lower education achievement. These disparities predominantly affect African Americans, our priority population in the REACH response, and concentrate in several of the census tracts in Wards 4, 5, 7, and 8 which will be priority areas. DC has a number assets that can be mobilized to address these entrenched disparities. They include Patient Centered Medical Homes in each ward; Medstar Washington Hospital Center, in Ward 5, the largest hospital care provider in the city; active food justice organizations; university departments of nutrition with community food hubs and a health disparities focus; representatives of the DC Department of Health, DC Healthcare Finance, Medicaid Managed Care and DC PACT, all taking public health and population health approaches to health outcomes; and a Tobacco-Free Coalition funded through tobacco funds and made up of several organizations active in both tobacco cessation policy and providing smoking cessation services. LCHC’s purpose for this 2018 REACH NOFO response is to strengthen the cooperation of these organizations within the Healthy Ties That Bind Coalition. Through community-participatory strategies and targeted culturally appropriate messaging, the Coalition will leverage partner efforts to address tobacco free living, healthy food purchasing, and coordinated care to improve health outcomes and decrease chronic diseases of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease in our priority communities. Based on the 2016 DC DOH Community Health Needs Assessment which calls for place-based care, this project will take focus activities in Community Health Hubs, designated geographic areas of cooperation between our multi-unit subsidized housing partner CIH Properties and the LCHC Faith-Based Organizations. The Health Hubs, encompassing targeted census tracts, will serve as the focus of intensive activities to transform the food landscape, and provide new opportunities for tobacco free living in small workplaces and multi-unit houses. This approach will be further strengthened through the addition of embedded Community Health Workers and Health Navigators recruited from area FBOs and residents of the multi-unit housing complexes. Building on our functioning health information exchange system, they will expand bidirectional referral linkages to ward based clinical and health-related service partners. LCHC will evaluate all outcomes to determine the effectiveness of the Coalition efforts and locally tailored promising practices to reduce health disparities in the priority D.C. population.
