Excited to celebrate National Public Health Week 2024 this week! This year’s theme is “Protecting, Connecting, and Thriving: We Are All Public Health.” When I think about this theme through the lens of belonging and the public health workforce... I'm reminded of the profound impact that a sense of belonging has on our ability to protect, connect, and thrive together. In a field as diverse and dynamic as public health, fostering a culture of belonging isn't just a nicety—it's a necessity. It's about creating spaces where every member of the public health workforce feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and skills. In my workshops and keynotes to public health audiences, I remind them that... When we prioritize belonging, we not only strengthen our teams and organizations but also enhance our collective ability to address the complex public health challenges facing our communities. As we celebrate National Public Health Week, let's recommit ourselves to building a public health workforce where everyone belongs and thrives. Let's start a #belongingmovement in public health!

Thank you Clare Nolan for sharing the findings from the California Association of Public Hospital's Safety Net Institute report on their Racial Equity Community of Practice. The report illuminates the transformative power of leadership in advancing health equity. As the Assistant Deputy Secretary of Healthcare Workforce at the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency, I'm inspired by the commitment of our public health systems to deepen their understanding of racial equity. This initiative underscores the need for strong leadership and continuous learning in our journey towards a more equitable healthcare delivery system in CA. My big takeaways: 1) invest time and effort into building a shared understanding of what we mean by racial equity; and 2) racial equity must be consciously embedded into organizational priorities and strategies. #healthequity #racialequity #transformativechangeinhealthcare

"Underrepresentation continues for black, indigenous, people of color, referred to as BIPOC today.  Latinos are 18% of the workforce and only 1% of CEOs and Asian Americans make up 13% of the U.S. professional workforce, yet only 5.6% of CEOs.    For example, Latinos are 18% of the workforce, so parity would mean that they would be 18% of CEOs. Now you're probably thinking that the 18% are not necessarily qualified to be CEOs. Good point. However, why is the discrepancy so big? White men represent 38% of the workforce and almost 90% of CEOs in the United States. Striving for parity will help us to achieve equity. Why is racial and ethnic equity so hard to achieve and what can we do about it? " Those in power need to be willing to do the work to affect change in a collaborative and equity-centered way, alongside those who are most impacted by inequities.   Equity First: The Path to Inclusion and Belonging Racial and ethnic equity Mary-Frances Winters Founder and CEO of The Winters Group, Inc.
