Dear Colleague,
We are

our events, activities, and opportunities for involvement! Please remember
to join or renew your membership to CCPH before it

A Message
from Al Richmond
Talking
about racism is never easy. Doing something about it can be even more
challenging!
All of us
want to see changes in policies or structural barriers that facilitate or
support racism. The quest for change on any issue demands more than a deep
desire or commitment. Change demands action! I applaud the leadership of
the American Public Health Association for elevating the
dialogue on racism to a national conversation by sponsoring a series of webinars that explore the intersection of
health and racism. This is a bold step, and one that places racism on
the national agenda as a major health issue in America.
As an
international organization committed to addressing and promoting health
equity and social justice through partnerships between communities and
academic institutions, CCPH continues to define an action plan to address
racism. I hope that you are sharing the statement on Advancing Social Justice through Community-Campus
Partnerships, that was released in July. The next step is to learn more
about what you are doing to address racism in your community via trainings,
forums, or policy statements. I am especially interested in knowing how
community-campus partnerships are working together in this space. No act to
address racism is too small or too insignificant. Remember, any movement
for social justice gains momentum through every act carried out by
committed people and organizations.
Over the
next year we will keep you apprised of the work being done by CCPH and our
members to create change. The CCPH website, listservs and E-News will serve as portals for the
dissemination of information on this important issue. Your input in the
process will allow us to be informed about the breadth and depth of work
being done at every level of our society to address racism. I am easy to
reach; send an email to ccph.executivedirector@gmail.com. I look forward to
hearing from you.

Sensitive Announcement
Registration
Open for the Community Engagement Institute (CEI) to take place

designed to benefit both community and academic partners in the greater
Birmingham area. This year's Institute will explore concepts related to
health equity and social justice in communities, and why and how community
engagement and collaboration are effective public health research and
community building practices. CCPH Executive Director Al Richmond will be
one of two keynote speakers.
News from
CCPH
Al
Richmond becomes one of the Faces of the Precision Medicine Initiative
(PMI)!
National Institutes of Health (NIH) releases video of Al speaking on what the PMI means to him and
his family. Al was a speaker for the Precision Medicine Working Group
Meeting and participants were highly engaged as Al shared the work of CCPH
to advance Community Review Processes (CRPs) as a strategy to better
understand the cultural and contextual issues that influence research in
communities. Since President Obama announced this initiative earlier this
year, NIH and others have tried to embrace and move technology, scientific
understanding and patient engagement into every day medical practice.
Regional
Community Partner Forums on Community-Engaged Health Disparities Research,
coming to Boston, Denver and Minneapolis this Fall 2015! CCPH’s Community Network for Research Equity and Impact
(CNREI) and the Center for Community Health Education research and Service
(CCHERS) are please to announce that we have been awarded funding from
National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) for
three Regional Community Partner Forums on Community-Engaged
Health Disparities Research, to build on three previous National Community
Partner Forums. The forums will be held in the Upper Midwest, Northeast, and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. Each regional forum
is open to community leaders and community-based organizations that are
interested or involved in research as a tool to advance health equity and
social justice. For more information on the forum, please visit here. To be added to an email list for
announcements about the forum, write us at RA@ccph.info.
