Health Equity in Cross Sector Partnerships.

Description: Public health and community health workers cannot address the social determinants of health alone. Factors like housing, education, employment, access to nutritious food, and more can only be improved through collaboration with partners of the local, state, and federal level along with private sector partnerships. What does it look like when the interests of diverse stakeholders and communities are aligned for the promotion of health equity? In this training, we will go over examples of what these partnerships can look like and how health equity work is strengthened when we work together. Participants will walk away with strategies for addressing health equity with a common language framework and engaging health equity champions to address our communities’ most pressing issue.

Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to…

  • Define what a cross sector partnership looks like for their work.
  • Explain the value of developing partnerships and cross-sector relationships to promote health equity.
  • Examine the role of public health in activating cross sector partnerships.

Greater Lowell Children’s Fund/Bachand Hall Golf Scramble

Greater Lowell Children’s Fund/Bachand Hall Golf Scramble
June 3, 2019

View from club house at the Merrimack Valley Golf Club
Please join us on June 3, 2019 for the Greater Lowell Children’s Fund/Bachand Hall Golf Scramble.  This event is taking place at Merrimack Valley Golf Club, which is located at 210 Howe Street in Methuen Ma.  Proceeds from this event are raised for the Greater Lowell Children’s Fund and the project at Bachand Hall.  We made the decision to combine the two events with proceeds being split between the two programs.  The Children’s Fund was created to help support children involved with the Department of Children and Families when they are removed from care, need money for extracurricular activities, request special items, wish to accomplish a specific goal such as obtaining their drivers permits, etc.

Bachand Hall is a partnership between the Sisters of Charity of Ottawa and the Department of Children and Families, and is a dorm-like setting for older girls involved with the DCF, and has housed over 160 girls over the past 14 years.
$150 per person fee includes 18 holes of golf, golf carts, gift bag, and dinner.
