Annotation

This podcast features a conversation between two health center-based community organizers. This is the first in a series of six Coffee & Science events on topics related to Alignment and Advocacy, which are the last two “A”s of the National Academy of Medicine’s framework that SIREN’s used to organize Coffee & Science. Alignment and Advocacy are both about what health care can do at the community level to address social needs. In this conversation, Hilary and Toffer share their experiences with using community organizing in clinical settings to help advance health equity.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss community level approaches to address social needs.

• Define health equity and explore its impact on community needs.

• Learn community organizing techniques to help advance health equity.
