Keynote Presentations Featured Speakers HYDEIA BROADBENT At birth, Hydeia was abandoned at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas where Patricia and Loren Broadbent adopted her as an infant. Although her HIV condition was congenital, she was not diagnosed as HIV positive with advancement to AIDS until age three. The prognosis was that she would not live past the age of five, so she became the “test baby” for HIV medications that are currently in use today. Well, this “test baby” has defied the odds by 18 years which is valid proof that living with HIV/AIDS is very possible! Broadbent debuted as an AIDS activist and public speaker at age six at one of her many visits to the hospital. By age 12, she had appeared on Oprah, 20/20, Good Morning America and A Conversation with Magic Johnson. Over the next 10 years she became a notable speaker and guest panelist at some of America’s most respected educational institutions including Duke University, Clark Atlanta University, UCLA, USC, and Howard University. She has been interviewed by today’s prominent publications and television programs such as Essence Magazine, The New York Times, Seventeen, Nickelodeon, MTV, and BET. She has also been honored with a Red Cross Spirit Award and a 1999 Essence Award. With her distinguished communication and presentation skills, Broadbent is now a 23-year-old consummate professional, international public speaker, and AIDS activist. Broadbent founded a non-profit organization, Hydeia Broadbent and Friends. She has also partnered with one of the most prestigious HIV/AIDS organizations, We Care 4 U Services, a Las Vegas-based non-profit outreach organization for children and families infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS. HAZEL D. DEAN, Sc.D., M.P.H. Hazel D. Dean, Sc.D., M.P.H., is currently the Acting Deputy Director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). During her 14 years at CDC, she has served as NCHHSTP’s first Associate Director for Health Disparities where she was charged with formulating and developing program policy and guidance and identifying strategies to improve the health of populations disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis. Prior to this post, Dr. Dean was Supervisor of the Research and Dissemination Team in the HIV Incidence and Case Surveillance Branch, where she was responsible for disseminating HIV/AIDS data for national policy and deci- sion-making. Dr. Dean was also Chief of CDC’s Applied Surveillance and Epidemiology Unit and a staff epide- miologist. Prior to joining CDC, Dr. Dean worked at the Louisiana State Health Department, where she was an epidemiologist, biostatistician, and statistical coordinator with the HIV/AIDS Program. Throughout her two decades of work in the public health field, Dr. Dean has contributed significantly to the development of strategies for using HIV surveillance and other scientific data to guide HIV prevention and care program planning at the local, state and territorial levels and the use of appropriate methods to describe the HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, and tuberculosis epidemics in racial and ethnic minority and other underserved populations. She is the author of numerous scientific journal articles, reports, and book chapters on HIV/AIDS among racial and ethnic minorities, women and incarcerated populations. She has served on a variety of CDC, departmental, national, and international advisory working groups and committees that have sought to address infectious and chronic diseases among underserved populations. Dr. Dean is the recipient of numerous awards and honors including Tulane University’s Champion of Public Health Award and CDC’s Health Equity Award. Dr. Dean received her bachelor’s degree in biology from Spelman College, her master’s degree in public health in international health/ biostatistics, and a doctorate of science degree in biostatistics from Tulane University. Welcoming Remarks ERIC E. WHITAKER, M.D., M.P.H. As director of the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Eric E. Whitaker, M.D., M.P.H., oversees an agency of more than 1,200 employees. Working out of the Chicago and Springfield headquarters, three laboratories and seven regional offices, this staff shares responsibility for improving the health of 12.4 million citizens of Illinois. Prior to being named the state’s public health director in 2003, Whitaker was an attending physician in internal medicine at Cook County Hospital in Chicago and a member of its Collaborative Research Unit, where his interests included HIV/AIDS prevention and minority health, particularly for black males. He helped found Project Brotherhood: A Black Men’s Clinic in Woodlawn where he spent his youth. Housed in Woodland Adult Health Center, which is affiliated with the Cook County Bureau of Health Services, this innovative weekly clinic uses free haircuts to entice African-American men, many of whom die prematurely from preventable diseases, to visit. The clinic promotes a holistic approach to health and wellness that addresses physical as well as mental, vocational and spiritual needs. In 2000, it received the National Association of Public Hospital and Health Systems’ highest award. Whitaker received an undergraduate degree in chemistry from Grinnell College in 1987 and, in 1993, a master’s degree from the Harvard School of Public Health and a medical degree from the University of Chicago. He is an assistant professor

Specifically, the differences between long term soap opera viewers' and non-soap opera viewers' perceptions about people and events in the real world were investigated.

  • Pathway to Excellence® Case Study: Northampton General Hospital Northampton, England
    Pathway to Excellence® Case Study: Northampton General Hospital Northampton, England Nursing and midwifery professions across the United Kingdom (UK) face challenges in recruitment and retention, with thousands of unfilled vacancies within the National Health Service (NHS). At Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust in the East Midlands, the problem had grown especially acute. With vacancy rates exceeding 18 percent, nursing leaders sought new ways to improve the work environment, raise staff morale, and give nurses a stronger voice. ANCC’s Pathway to Excellence® Program and its six practice standards provided the ideal framework to achieve these goals. Northampton’s leaders believed that pursuing the credential would create a positive practice environment that would empower nurses, improve job satisfaction, and aid recruitment and retention. In 2019, Northampton General Hospital became the first district general hospital in the UK to achieve Pathway to Excellence designation. The Pathway journey provided the impetus to positively transform the hospital’s culture, leading to significant quality, satisfaction, and vacancy improvements. Sustaining the Gains Through Leadership Transition One of the biggest challenges the hospital faced was the departure of its chief nursing officer mid-way through the nurse survey period. The Pathway team had to find ways to maintain high visibility and engagement with staff during this time of transition. How did they sustain momentum? Tactics included: • Disco-themed survey stations • Regular updates to staff on Facebook • T-shirts with “Keep Calm and Survey” on them • Deploying to different areas of the hospital to offer support, if requested • A ‘totalizer’ (similar to a fundraising total), updated and shared weekly with staff, which kept a running tally of survey completions Finding New Ways to Engage Staff Taking the Pathway journey led to the development of multiple initiatives that empower nurses to influence the care they provide.
