1 Dear Colleagues

Welcome to the 73rd Annual Oklahoma Public Health Association Conference!

It is good to be in one another’s company and I hope you’ll join me in welcoming our newest members, partners, and sponsors as OPHA continues to diversify and grow. An organization’s lifeblood is its membership, the good people and exceptional professionals who give freely of their time and talent to ensure the success of an association. Together, we are Oklahoma

Public Health and we serve our great state through a long list of agencies and organizations. Our job descriptions and titles are diverse, but our long-term goals are the same: Improving the health of Oklahomans.

Our conference theme, People & Policy: The Power to Improve Health reminds us that policy – all policy – impacts public health

(and quality of life) at every level. OPHA membership is diversifying – as we should be! We are unable to serve our populations in silos; long gone are the days when we refer to people and organizations as “non-traditional public health partners.” Our partners in supporting and improving the health of our state are an important list of people and agencies spanning all levels of government, tribal nations, education, business, and the like. When we work together to support thoughtful and intentional policy with health in mind, we improve our state’s health rankings and the quality of life for our citizens. Our Conference Plan- ning Committee, under the exceptional direction of Marisa New, has worked diligently to bring you a variety of experts on policy at all levels. It is our hope that this conference highlights the role policy plays in health while the additional training opportunity promotes sound policy decisions for our state. Additionally, collaboration among broad partners allows us to tackle problems with new perspectives and with a variety of solutions at our ﬁ ngertips.

Thank you for all that you do for public health and Oklahoma. It has been a privilege to serve as OPHA President and I am thankful for the opportunity. OPHA continues to grow and diversify and needs your help in maintaining momentum. I invite you to become involved in your association and assure its continued relevancy and importance in the broad ﬁ eld of Oklahoma public health.

Sincerely,

Sunshine Cowan, PhD, MPH, MCHES

President

Oklahoma Public Health Association

The Caucus works in collaboration with the Oklahoma Health Equity Campaign to increase training opportunities and to share health equity and SDOH resources.

7:00-5:00 p.m. Registration

8:30-8:45 a.m. Welcome [OK ABCDE]

8:45-9:00 a.m. Opening Session – “The State of the State’s Health” Mary Fallin, Governor of Oklahoma [OK ABCDE]

9:00-9:15 a.m. “The Impact of Policy” Sunshine Cowan, Ph.D., President, Oklahoma Public Health Association

9:45-10:45 a.m. “Integrated Solutions to Healthcare and Healthy Living” Ron Sims, Former Deputy Secretary of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development [OK ABCDE]

Social and environmental determinants shape health outcomes. Integrating health, land use and transportation planning to create walkable, transit-oriented and sustainable communities provide healthier lifestyle choices for residents. Lowering healthcare costs requires collaboration of purchasers of health care (employers, employees, patients), insurance providers, and hospitals. By offering purchasers lower health care cost, getting insurers to reform, and working with hospitals to establish standards of care, conﬂ icting demands and information are eliminated, realistic standards are set for providers, and patients beneﬁ t from improved quality care. Where we live, the color of our skin, how much money we have, and our access to education, health care, and economic opportunities impact health, wellness, and life expectancy. We need to pursue policies that strike down inequalities, creates safe neighborhoods, provides affordable housing, quality education, and improves access to health care, transportation, healthy foods, and good quality paying jobs.

10:45-12:00 p.m. “Advancing the Political Conditions for Healthy People” Public Health as a Catalyst” Rajiv Bhatia, MD, MPH, San Francisco Dept. of Public Health [OK ABCDE]

Given that economic, environmental and social conditions determine the opportunities and obstacles for health at a population level, the public health sector should have a compelling interest in ensuring that the actions of other policy sectors including those for education, labor, urban planning, agriculture, energy, housing, and transportation protects and promotes health. While cross-sector action for health is not the routine today, some notable experimentation and progress is occurring. This presentation describes the experience of the San Francisco Health Department which has endeavored to address structural determinants of health and health inequities through the setting of urban planning and community development since 2002. Locally, cross-sector engagement has taken many forms, including communication of evidence on the nexus between health and community conditions, monitoring the health and equity performance of the urban planning and community development sectors, coordination and collaboration on planning and development activities, technical support for civil-society organizations engaged with planning and development, and implementation of innovative public health regulations. In our experience, engagement has required navigating several generalizable challenges including limited funding and formal support within public health institutions, limited public health authority to institute change, sensitivity to criticism of governmental performance, and competing social objectives. Engagement has required developing new human and organizational capacity within the public health sector, new technical tools, and the use of negotiation and collaboration. Overall, this cross-sector engagement has been successful in integrating several health objectives into the policy goals and governance institutions of sister policy sectors, suggesting that it is feasible for the public health sector to leverage other public sector institutions to improve the fundamental resources and conditions for population health. The presentation synthesizes key lessons from this experience.

This presentation will address the current situation and underscore that it is time for a new paradigm. It will make the case that policymakers have an opportunity to address longstanding inequities and design new systems and institutions that are inclusive, and an economy that is equitable for all . Promis- ing practices will be highlighted; opportunities to build partnerships between the public and private sector, community residents, the business community and philanthropy will be discussed. The focus will be on identifying the initial steps for building an equity-driven model for creating healthy, thriving communities.

Health Equity Caucus [OK-D] “Ofﬁ ce workers – Sedentary by Practice: How can we integrate physical activity as part of daily routines at work?” Dr. K. Meghan Wieters, AICP, University of Oklahoma

The intersection of public health and planning is at an important crossroads. Speciﬁ cally, transportation planning has focused traditionally on commute travel (trip to and from work), which is helpful in address- ing broad transportation system needs. However, many of our daily trips are not associated with travel to and from work and include trips such as going to lunch, depositing checks at the bank, or shopping for various daily needs. These non-commute trips are often capable of being done within short distances of our worksites and are logical opportunities to shift our car travel to walking trips. This session will discuss how land use and the design of the built environment may impact how much physical activity is integrated within the daily workday of a typical ofﬁ ce worker. Additionally we will discuss what are ways individuals, employers, planners, agencies or organizations can work to remove barriers that inhibit integrated daily physical activity during the workday in order to promote healthier and potentially more productive employees.

Public Health Nursing [OK-C] “Oklahoma Temporary High Risk Pool” Tanya Case, Oklahoma Temporary High Risk Pool

Public Health Nurses encounter individuals every day on the job who are uninsured. Although, it is esti- mated that 80 percent of the uninsured are at 400% of poverty or below, there are individuals who can pay for insurance, but have been unable to obtain it due to their pre-existing medical condition(s) and who are not aware of the OTHRP. The presentation will provide the participants will the basic information about the OTHRP, such as who qualiﬁ es, how do they qualify, the application process, the premium rates and how they are derived, the Pool beneﬁ ts (both medical and pharmacy), who governs the Pool, and who provides customer service. Also, an explanation of how condition/disease management and case management will be discussed. Research shows that those individuals who are insured live longer than those who are uninsured. It is our goal to make sure that every uninsured individual in Oklahoma that can afford this Pool knows about it and who better to help us get our message out than Public Health Nurses.

Public Health Education & Promotion [Sooner A] “Certiﬁ ed Healthy Oklahoma Programs” Gail Hilty, Noble Public Schools Paula Price, MPH, MS, RN, Norman Regional Hospital Sharon Howard, RN, M.Ed. , Norman Public Schools

Oklahoma currently ranks 48th in overall health standards. In an effort to help promote healthier lifestyles and help to increase our health statistic ranking, communities across the state are mobilizing to make valiant efforts to help promote positive changes in healthy behaviors both locally and on a state wide level.

“Health Impact Assessment and the Healthy Development Measurement Tool: Emerging Strategies to Improve Public Policy” Presenter: Rajiv Bhatia, MD, MPH

Target Audience: Policy Leaders, Public Ofﬁ cials, and Private and Non-Proﬁ t Stakeholders Engaged in Public Policy and Urban/Rural Planning

Economic, environmental and social conditions all determine the opportunities and obstacles for health at a population level. Health Impact Assessment is a structured decision support tool that is increasingly being used to systematically characterize the anticipated health effects, both adverse and benefi cial, of decisions in diverse policy sectors including those for education, labor, urban planning, agriculture, energy, housing, and transportation. In San Francisco, the Department of Public Health has applied HIA methods to land use, transportation, and employment policy. The Department has engaged public agencies as well the for-profi t and non-profi t sector in identifying key applications for HIA and objectives and performance indicators for healthy development. The Department created the Healthy Development Measurement Tool, which includes citywide healthy development objectives, measures to measure progress towards those objectives, development standards for project evaluation, and policy and design options, as a way to support productive engagement among the health and planning sector. The use of HIA and the HDMT has both resulted in signifi cant improvements to the design of land use and transportation plans and projects and has facilitated routine cooperation and collaboration between planning and health interests.

New and Improved!

The OKHealth Wellness Program has been reinvented to be much more flexible, interactive and user-friendly. Free, one-on-one health coaching is available for state employees who need it, while many others are able to “self coach” their way to better health by using the many resources available on the new OKHealth web site. It’s customized! In fact, active state employees already have their own wellness pages that can be tailored to fit their individual needs! For a free, no-obligation preview of what’s available, go to www.ebc.ok.gov and go to the OKHealth section.
