Project Description:
Community Solutions for Health Equity is a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) focused on elevating the voices of communities of color and other communities left out of discussions when local health care systems in the United States are creating policy. The national Community Solutions for Health Equity program attempts to address root causes of racism and bias directly by supporting communities to identify a problem that negatively affects the, envision solutions, and partner with health care systems to co-create and implement solutions. This project provides technical assistance and support to a parent-led non-profit community organization, Padres e Hijos en Accion, to lead a community-based effort to make local health care systems more responsive to the needs of Latino families of children with developmental disabilities and other special health care needs in Dane County, through elevating the voices, stories, and priorities of the people who hold the solutions.
