AY 2020-2021
- Members of the CHHS community served on an ad hoc committee to identify potential goals and actions CHHS could undertake as a college and with community partners to advance anti-racism on our campus and beyond.
- Formulated a partnership with the budding Long Beach Black Health Equity collaborative to host a series of town hall meetings. Albeit virtual, we were finally able to hold the Lauda Lecture that featured Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sonia Nazario, and we held a follow-up roundtable discussion meeting to generate ideas about how the BEACH could advance the health and wellness of migrants and their families on our campus and beyond
- Commissioned a study of the social networks of CHHS with community partners.
AY 2019-2020
- The work of the four CHHS and community task force groups have resulted in recommendations to build sustainable interdisciplinary partnerships.
- Four projects were funded to support work at the Gold Star Manor and PIs from different disciplinary areas have met one another and most have made connections with the Manor for the very first time. All projects place students at the manor working together in a meaningful way with Manor residents. Other programs like LifeFit and Olli are also in place or will soon be offered at the Manor. Faculty have grown their professional networks across disciplinary areas and with the Center for Successful Aging’s professional network.
- Developed a partnership concept to collaboratively design and provide health care in an interdisciplinary clinic in the new CHHS building.
AY 2018-2019
- Produced a briefing document based on the roundtable discussion results.
- Established follow-up CHHS/community task forces in each area (older adults, health disparities, clinical care and prevention, and homelessness) to further explore results of the initial roundtable discussions and to identify steps to strengthen sustained CHHS interdisciplinary collaboration with our community.
- Launched an internal research call for proposals to support interdisciplinary research - Systematic Innovations in Serving the Needs of Older Adults at the American Gold Star Manor. This work has broadened professional development.
AY 2016-2017
- Established a community partner and university faculty task force to discuss pressing health and human services issues in the communities we serve and met monthly.
- Partner/university group discussions yielded the following macro-themes: aging, health disparities, homelessness, and advancing preventive and clinical care
- Held a university/community roundtable discussion meeting around these themes. More than 200 members of CHHS faculty and our community attended.
