This annual awareness-raising event has been going strong since 1999. But of course, a lot has changed along the way. Here's a a postcard from early on. And a button with our current logo. Likewise, our focus needs to keep up with changing times. For Health Literacy Month 2012, I propose the theme of action -- how each of us will help others better understand health information. Thanks for all you do. Here's what's new in *Health Literacy Consulting * *HLC How-To * [image: HLHero 2] * * Health Literacy Month 2012: Be a Health Literacy Hero.It seems that others are starting to "get" the message that health literacy matters. Now what? To me, a logical next step is action. This year, I propose the theme, "Be a Health Literacy Hero."

Most closely associated with the adult literacy work of Brazilian Paulo Freire, popular education is used around the world in many fields. It is applicable to all areas of educational practice. Popular education is based on the idea that, no matter our occupation and level of formal education, we all know a great deal as a result of our life experience. Therefore educators should start with what people already know and build on it. *In the Part I workshop, you will become familiar with:* ? The underlying philosophy of popular education and key popular education methods, such as brainstorming, sociodramas (social skits), cooperative learning, role plays, and din?micas (educational games) ? How to move through the cycle of praxis (from action to reflection to action) in the course of a class ? How participants can apply what they are learning to their day-to-day work ? How this method can be used to teach any subject ? The history of popular education and how it grew out of the lived experience of people working for social change. * * *Please note: This is Part I of II workshops. Participants may stay for Part II or may attend a Part II workshop in the future when available. Participants may stay until 1:30pm to join us for lunch (provided by OPHA)* * * *In the Part II workshop you will:* ?

In 1998 he co-founded Geneforum, a non-profit organization committed to promoting dialogue at the intersection of genetics, ethics, and public values. His interest areas include science education, the societal and ethical implications of science and technology, and deliberative democracy.**** ** ** In 1953, two young scientists published the structure of DNA, a Nobel Prize winning discovery that gave birth to the interdisciplinary field of genomics. Beginning in 1990, scientists around the world embarked upon the Human Genome Project (HGP) with the goal of determining the composition of the**** entire genome?a mass of genetic and environmental information essential to the proper development of an organism, from humans to the flu virus. How is that virtual ?tsunami of knowledge? assembled to ultimately realize the promise of the ?genomic revolution? and ?personalized medicine?? And what are the implications of genomics for addressing the overarching goal of public health to promote population**** health and prevent disease?**** ** ** Dr. Fowler will explore these questions from a ?30,000-foot view? of genomic science in 2012: Where have we been? Where are we going? And how will we get there?**** ** ** To ensure that future scientists, physicians, policy makers, and consumers are educated about the genomic revolution, the National Research Council calls upon academic institutions to begin developing undergrad and graduate curricula with a focus on public health genomics. Toward that end, a 3-credit OMPH online elective will be offered in the winter-term 2013. The course, *Genomics and Public Health: Current Issues and Future Trends In Healthcare and Policy*, seeks to better understand the rapidly-evolving field of genomics and to translate that knowledge into actions and practices reflected in the core functions of public health (course flyer attached).**** ** ** *?The biggest bottleneck to the realization of the ?genomic revolution? in health care is the capacity of health professionals?and their patients?to make meaningful use of these new tools.? *--Eric Green, Director, National Human Genome Research Institute**** ** ** Sponsored by the Oregon MPH Program and the CDC-funded Prevention Research Center, the Center for Healthy Communitiesat OHSU. **** ** ** ** ** -- Greg Lee, PhD, Director Oregon MPH Program 503-725-5106 506 SW Mill St., 670B PSU-Urban Building Portland, OR 97201 greglee at oregonmph.org www.oregonmph.org -- Alissa Gabrielle Leavitt, MPH, CHES green.alissa at gmail.com 503-358-2331 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Events, opportunites and more... Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. [image: We Can Do Better] Can?t Wait for the Day a*fter* November 6th? We wanted to get a couple of things on your calendar - opportunities to learn, connect and engage. We?ve set the date for our conference, which in past years has been in the fall, but this year felt a little frenetic for our style of event, so we?ve bumped it to February and we?re hoping you?ll join us! *Fifth Annual We Can Do Better Conference* *Mark your calendar* for what will be a forward thinking event: *February 7, 2013, all-day conference at the Portland Art Museum*. The 2013 Legislative Session will have just begun, and while Oregon has accomplished a lot towards transforming the health system, we have a lot of work to do. It won?t happen without you. We anticipate opening registration on December 1. *Two of our keynote speakers have confirmed so far:* - *Dr. John Santa*, Director of the Director of the Health Ratings Center for *Consumer Reports* - *Sue Christoforou*, with *The Equality Trust* for a number of years now, presenting and leading discussion on the effect of income inequality on society, as set out in Wilkinson and Pickett's, The Spirit Level, in the UK and overseas. Last fall the New York Times published an opinion piece about equality, which really inspired our Community Leadership Council members to think what happens *after* we?ve adopted the Triple Aim. *As we have done in years past, we are asking you to help us build up our scholarship fund so that those who want to attend, but might not be able to afford the full price of admission, can do so. Donate here. *Thanks to you, for three years running, we have not had to turn anyone away because of registration costs. *Other Upcoming Events* In addition to our February conference, here are some other meetings that might be of interest. - *The Oregon Primary Care Association *and* Community Health Advocates of Oregon* are hosting *Aiming for Equities: From Promise to Practice*, on November 1, 2012. You can register here. Deadline for registration is 10/29/12. - Also on November 1st, *Escape Fire: the Fight To Rescue American Healthcare *will be shown at The NW FilmCenter. Escape Fire is an acclaimed documentary that tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: How can the United States save its badly broken healthcare system? Date: Thursday, Nov 1st Location: Whitsell Auditorium, Portland Art Museum, 1219 SW Park Avenue, Portland Time: 7:00pm Cost: $5 if you RSVP to ihipsuohsu at gmail.comwith your name! - Cover Oregon, the new name for the Health Insurance Exchange, is holding its November meeting in Bend. Their boardwill meet on November 8th from 10-2:30, and will host an open community forum on Wednesday evening November 7th, from 6-8 at St. Charles Hospital in Bend. This will be a great opportunity for folks in Central Oregon to learn what?s being designed, ask questions and share insights. - *We Can Do Better* is a community partner to the *Oregon and SW Washington Health Literacy Conference: Toward a Culture of Clarity*, being held on March 1, 2013. You can register online here . *Looking for Input* - There may be an opportunity for you to provide feedback to *APD (Aging & People with Disabilities) *on* Eligibility/Modernization*. Jennifer DeJong is interested in having a consumer advocate participate in a short term work group and provide advice for the new portal for online eligibility. The purpose of the workgroup is to gather input for the client portal for the online application for eligibility. This will include fonts, colors, layout and some content. The meetings will begin in late October and probably include 6 two-hour meetings through January. If you are interested you can contact Jennifer directly at jennifer.d.dejong at state.or.us . - *The Oregon Health Authority Division of Medical Assistance Programs*has released a notice and invitation for public comment on a petition to amend an administrative rule regarding the transition of Dental Care Organizations into Coordinated Care Organizations. The public comment period is open until November 30th, 2012. After receiving public comment OHA will decide whether to initiate the rule making process or deny the petition. A public hearing is also scheduled for November 14th, 2012, from 1-3pm. For Additional details, view the OHA Notice(PDF). *Looking for Applicants* - The Office of Equity and Inclusion is seeking people from across Oregon to participate on its Policy Platform Development Team. From among the applicants forty people will be invited to help determine the policy priorities/policy platforms for the coming year. The deadline is November 2nd to complete the entry survey. If you have questions you can contact emily.l.wang at state.or.us . - Hey, believe it or not, *We Can Do Better* has a half-time position open! It?s been a long stretch since we?ve had an opportunity to bring on new staff, so we?re excited about this opening for an operations manager. Please check out the job posting . *Speaking of Staff ...* *[image: Matt Webber & Courtney Dillard]* Some of you may know *Matt Webber*, our former (but maybe someday soon * again*) Outreach Coordinator. This summer Matt got married and instead of a honeymoon, he and Courtney embarked on a cross-country venture called Breakfast with Strangers. Just to show that he hasn?t forgotten us, he sent a picture from the road. Great shirt, don?t you think?! They are asking a question for me along the way - my question was ?What value(s) do these ?strangers? thing they have in common with other people across the country?? Especially at this time of year, I like to learn about what we have in common, rather than focusing only on what makes us differ. Can?t wait to hear what Matt and Courtney have learned on their travels. *Public Discourse and You* Can?t end a newsletter without asking for your support. This has been a year when the topic of public discourse has elevated to front page articles and yet, it is so very challenging to raise money to support good public dialogue and participation. We operate on a shoestring (literally) and yet campaigns can raise millions and millions of dollars. What will it take to find donors who want to invest in the piece that is missiing, even when we publicly acknowledge it?s missing. We?re hoping that you see the value and will find a way to donate to We Can Do Better . Thank you and be well, Liz Baxter P.S.

Most closely associated with the adult literacy work of Brazilian Paulo Freire, popular education is used around the world in many fields. It is applicable to all areas of educational practice. Popular education is based on the idea that, no matter our occupation and level of formal education, we all know a great deal as a result of our life experience. Therefore educators should start with what people already know and build on it. *In the Part I workshop, you will become familiar with:* - The underlying philosophy of popular education and key popular education methods, such as brainstorming, sociodramas (social skits), cooperative learning, role plays, and din?micas (educational games) - How to move through the cycle of praxis (from action to reflection to action) in the course of a class - How participants can apply what they are learning to their day-to-day work - How this method can be used to teach any subject - The history of popular education and how it grew out of the lived experience of people working for social change. *Please note: This is Part I of II workshops. Participants may stay for Part II or may attend a Part II workshop in the future when available.

Our day-long event will include voices who typically aren?t together in one place. We have invited *Governor Kitzhaber* to open the day by sharing his vision for Oregon?s future, especially how Oregon?s efforts can improve the health of Oregonians. We want to challenge our thinking ? to expand our vision of what can be accomplished, and to better our understanding of what stands in our way ? and end the day with some clear calls to action. . **** **** *John Santa, M.D. Featured Presenter***** Presenters who will help spur dialogue include: **** - *John Santa, MD *, Director, *Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center*: Choosing Wisely Campaign**** - *Sue Christoforou*, Policy and Research Manager, *One Society, an Equality Trust Project* will be introduced by Nichole Maher, President,* Northwest Health Foundation***** - *Heerad Sabeti*, co-founder and convening trustee, *Fourth Sector Network .***** *This will be a day of thought and dialogue that leads to change and action. We will be highlighting some of Oregon?s innovation that aligns with our belief that ?health happens where we live, learn, work and play? ? the new language for the social determinants of health.* Each of these presenters has expanded the vision of We Can Do Better, broadening our ideas for possible actions, and affirming that the world of medicine alone will not improve health. Please join us and other thought leaders on February 7th. Space is limited, early registration is highly recommended. Early-bird rates are now available. *And please note that we have a goal: no one who wants to attend our conference will be limited because the cost of registration is a barrier.* *?
