This webinar will explore emerging rural health issues—from chronic disease to access to care to value-based payment—and examine how states and their partners are putting Rural Health Transformation Program investments into action.

Participants will see how approaches are taking shape across states and leave with practical tools they can use in their own work, including rural health toolkits, data sources, county-level mortality information, and training opportunities.

Beyond the Why: Practical Strategies for Engaging Employers and Commercial Health Plans

Public health professionals generally understand why working with employers and commercial health plans matters. As the focus on sustainability of programs grows, it is time to revisit how commercial reimbursement can support work across chronic conditions. This session moves beyond the rationale of why this matters and focuses on how to successfully engage. The expert panel will share how public health agencies can begin or enhance this work, communicate in ways that resonate with business, build on existing assets, and leverage key partners and influencers to make meaningful connections.

Panelists:
Ilene Cervantes del Toro, MSPH, RDN
Chronic Disease Prevention Manager, Center for Chronic Disease Prevention & Control, Prevention and Health Promotion Administration, Maryland Department of Health

Georgette Kores, MS
National Director, Population Health Management, World Insurance Associates

David Shapiro, MPH
Industry Expert, Healm National Advisory Council

Applications are due Aug. 24 for the September GEAR Group!

Generate, Educate, Activate, Respond (GEAR) Groups are peer-to-peer, case-based, action learning opportunities for state and territorial chronic disease practitioners.

This session on Reimagining Prevention will explore new models and innovative strategies to address chronic disease prevention for the 21st century. The role of new technologies such as telehealth and GLP-1 medications, as well as the potential of cross-sector partnerships and novel funding strategies, will be key areas of focus.

The group will meet virtually on four consecutive Wednesdays (September 2, 9, 16 and 23).

🌟 Member Spotlight: Nicole Sinderman

As students head back to school this month, it’s an especially timely opportunity to highlight work that supports student health in school settings. We’re pleased to feature NACDD Member Nicole Sinderman, To***co Prevention and Control Program Manager with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

✔️ Among her current priorities: Advancing efforts to prevent and reduce youth to***co use
✔️ A key focus area: Supporting schools as an important setting for prevention and intervention
✔️ Why it matters: Missouri youth to***co use rates remain higher than national averages

"We are concerned about Missouri’s youth to***co use rates; we’re falling behind the rest of the country. Nearly a quarter of Missouri youth (24%) have smoked a cigarette compared with 14% of national youth. 21% of Missouri youth currently v**e compared with 17% of national youth. In response to this, our program will provide more support to schools to address youth use in the school environment through a new program in partnership with NACDD, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Missouri Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics."

Nicole underscores the importance of strengthening school-based supports to better prevent and reduce youth to***co use.

đź‘Ź Thank you, Nicole, for the impact you are making across Missouri!
