About this organization
Mission
To promote health equity by advocating for public policies and sufficient resources to address the health needs of communities of color.
About
The California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN) is the only multicultural health policy organization focused on improving health for California's communities of color. CPEHN advances health equity by advocating for sufficient policy policies and resources. We envision a state where institutions, systems, and communities support the health of communities of color so that all residents can thrive and prosper. CPEHN works to achieve our vision and mission by building people power, translating policies and data, advancing equity-centered policies, and amplifying voices and stories. In 2018, CPEHNs work encompassed a broad policy and advocacy agenda focused on improving access to affordable, timely and high quality oral, mental and primary care and ensuring that state and county resources are funding the community supports and infrastructure needed to build healthy communities. CPEHN builds people power through trainings, conferences, and convenings. Through our network of community partners, CPEHN holds regular training and networking opportunities to connect people, issues and regions. In March and 2018, CPEHNs community partners gathered in Sacramento to discuss state priorities and participate in trainings on budget and legislative processes, the public mental health system and mental health awareness, stigma reduction, and effective messages for mental health outreach. Between May and September 2018, we hosted a series of four webinars on oral health in California to improve community understanding and promote capacity building to advocate on this issue. These webinars were created in response to requests from community partners who indicated to us that they were struggling to understand the current oral health delivery system. In October 2018, we launched a series of four behavioral health webinars which aimed to demystify California's behavioral health and build partners functional understanding of the behavioral health system so they can better advocate for their community's behavioral health access and equity needs.In addition to trainings, CPEHN hosted two statewide conferences. In April 2018, we hosted the California Reducing Disparities Project (CRDP) Advancing Mental Health Equity Conference, which convened stakeholders and contractors participating in the California Department of Public Health's CRDP. The conference provided an opportunity for advocates, providers, policymakers, and community members to collaborate and develop strategies to promote mental health integration and equity. In September 2018, we hosted our biennial Voices for Change conference, titled Mobilizing for Health Equity, which brought together community members, advocates, and policymakers to discuss future efforts to improve the health and well-being of our communities. CPEHN translates policies and data through publications, strategic communications, and policy updates. In 2018, we published three reports providing in-depth analysis of the most pressing multicultural health policy issues in California. The three reports included: California Reducing Disparities Project: Strategic Plan to Reduce Mental Health Disparities (April 2018); Measuring Mental Health Disparities (June 2018); and Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Innovation Recommendations (July 2018). These reports were disseminated to our networks of community partners, advocates, and policymakers via its mailing lists, direct relationships, and as hard copies at CPEHN events. The CRDP Strategic Plan was featured at the Advancing Mental Health Equity Conference. CPEHN also published two newsletters during the grant period and sent 52 other emails, which were distributed to over 3,000 CPEHN network members. Our newsletters keep our network of community partners, advocates, and policymakers informed and engaged about the larger movement for health equity. The Forum for Health Equity newsletter highlights our partners, ongoing local efforts, key state and federal issues, and CPEHN resources. We also send out emails highlighting new publications, policy developments, and upcoming events of interest to our network members. Key highlights include: CPEHN behavioral health and oral health webinar series, Oral Health network updates, Los Angeles County Mental Health Services Act proposal public comment opportunity, and Advancing Mental Health Equity conference. Our website and the Voices for Health Equity Blog provide updates, commentary, and links to critical policy information. The Voices for Health Equity blog covered a range of health equity topics including information about our events, hot topics and policy updates. CPEHN advances equity-centered policies through meetings with policymakers, serving on advisory boards and commissions, and working on legislative, budget and administrative policies. Amidst Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal attempts, together with the CPEHN-convened Having Our Say coalition (HOS) and #Fight4OurHealth members, we worked with local advocates to hold meetings with federal legislators in their home districts. In February, six HOS members met with Congressman Costa's office and had a productive dialog on immigration and health. In May and June, HOS members coordinated visits with Representatives Denham, Napolitano, and Chu and Senator Harris to discuss the harmful implications of proposed public charge rules. During these visits, we distributed publications to educate legislators on the impact of the ACA on the health of local communities. In addition, we arranged for 14 additional visits with these members in Washington, D.C., in February during a national gathering of health advocates. In addition, CPEHN held regular meetings with we held regular meetings with state policy makers and their staff including: Assembly and Senate staff, including the members and the staff of the Health and Budget Committees, key leadership in the Assembly Speaker's office and Senate Pro Tem's office, and staff and members of the following state agencies: Covered California, California Department of Health Care Services, Department of Managed Health Care, California Department of Public Health, Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission, Strategic Growth Council, and the California Transportation Commission. CPEHN staff also served on state and local task forces and advisory committees to ensure communities of color are represented in policy development opportunities. CPEHN continues to participate in the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) stakeholder advisory committee and Medi-Cal Managed Care Advisory committee, which meet regularly to discuss issues, changes, and program aspects of Medi-Cal. CPEHN is a member of the State Dental Director's California Oral Health Advisory Committee in Sacramento and staff in Los Angeles participate in the LA Oral Health Advisory Committee. CPEHN is a member of the Office of Health Equity Advisory Committee and was elected chair of its Advisory Committee in May. In 2018, CPEHN was invited to participate in the DHCS stakeholder advisory committee to implement the requirements of AB 470 (Arambula, 2017) and in the consumer-focused Care Coordination Advisory Committee. In addition, CPEHN met with DHCS staff separately to discuss data collection and assessment efforts by race, ethnicity, and language, which are supposed to lay the groundwork for their quality improvement efforts. In addition, we continued providing input on the mental health Performance Outcomes System, pursuant to our sponsored bill, AB 470 through an Advisory Committee we convened to develop and publish mental health quality metrics.CPEHN amplifies voices and stories. In 2018, CPEHN mobilized our partners to respond to DHCS' Quality Strategy Report, which includes all managed care delivery systems for the first time. We drafted comments and solicited sign-ons from approximately a dozen partners. In 2017-18, CPEHN worked with partners to develop comments related to the implementation of federal mental health parity, particularly continuity of care, and participated in a consumer-focused work-group related to care coordination. In addition, in August 2018, we hosted four Listening Sessions in Fresno, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and Oakland. These listening sessions sought to strengthen our relationships with partners, build a shared understanding of local health equity efforts and landscapes, identify ways we could better support our partners, and inform the CPEHN policy planning process and 2019 agenda. In December 2018, CPEHN partnered with community organizations in Stockton to host the Stockton Reducing Disparities public hearing, which sought to call attention to the mental health disparities faced by the local community and highlight the need for investment to help close the gaps in mental health services and outcomes.
