芝加哥，2024年9月5日 /美通社/ —— 黑人董事醫療保健公平議程（BDHEA）已獲得一筆使命轉型的150萬美元撥款，用於通過公立醫院和社區衛生中心解決健康不平等問題。該組織將編寫一本針對醫療保健董事會董事和高管領導者的健康公平指南。
This grant, provided by Kaiser Permanente's fund at the East Bay Community Foundation, will propel BDHEA's mission forward by fostering the education and engagement of board directors and executive leadership.

Kaiser Permanente is the largest integrated, nonprofit health care organization in the U.S., providing high-quality health care and coverage for 12.5 million members in eight states and the District of Columbia.
凱撒永久是美國最大的綜合性非營利醫療保健組織，爲美國8個州和哥倫比亞特區1250萬會員提供高質量的醫療保健和覆蓋。
The grant will also support the BDHEA's Board Diversification and Inclusion Project, which seeks to increase the diversity and inclusion of healthcare boards.
該撥款還將支持BDHEA的董事會多樣化與包容性項目，旨在增加醫療保健董事會的多樣性與包容性。
"Our duty as healthcare board members extends beyond oversight; it's a commitment to the heart of care," says BDHEA Board Chair Caretha Coleman. "This grant empowers our shepherds of health equity to forge a path toward justice, ensuring that those facing the harshest conditions and barriers find high-quality, equitable care."
BDHEA董事會主席凱麗薩·科爾曼表示：「我們作爲醫療保健董事會成員的職責不僅僅是監督，而是對關懷的承諾。該撥款賦予我們關注健康公平的導航者，開闢通往正義的道路，並確保那些面臨最嚴苛條件和障礙的人找到高質量、公平的護理。」
Empowering Change Through Board Governance
通過董事治理賦予變革力量
An unprecedented 31.5 million people rely on community health centers for affordable care. The grant will significantly advance the BDHEA's goal of eliminating health disparities in Black communities and beyond. Spanning three years, this funding underscores the imperative to champion Black health through healthcare board governance structures.
史無前例的 3150萬人 依靠社區衛生中心提供經濟實惠的醫療保健。這筆資金將極大地推進BDHEA消除黑人社區及其他地區的健康不平等的目標。爲期三年的資助強調了通過醫療保健董事會治理結構來捍衛黑人健康的必要性。
The award enables BDHEA to expand upon its foundational health equity toolkit. This toolkit includes the Prioritizing Health Equity in the Boardroom Playbook and Health Equity's Essential Role in ESG Conversations, two guides for board directors developed through collaboration between BDHEA and Deloitte Consulting LLP with support from the Deloitte Health Equity Institute.
該獎項使BDHEA能夠擴展其基礎的醫療平等工具包。該工具包包括《在董事會會議上優先考慮醫療平等》和《醫療平等在ESG對話中的重要作用》兩本指南，這兩本指南是BDHEA與德勤諮詢公司在德勤醫療平等研究所的支持下合作開發的。
Supporting boards for public hospitals and Community Health Centers (CHCs) presents a unique opportunity to empower leaders of community-based organizations instrumental in providing access to care nationally, bridging urban and rural areas alike. The grant will facilitate community assessments, strategic framework development, and evidence-based action plans creation culminating in a new health equity playbook for CHCs and public hospitals.
支持公立醫院和社區衛生中心(CHC)的董事會爲社區組織的領導者提供了一個獨特的機會，這些機構在全國範圍內提供醫療保健服務，彌合了城市和農村地區之間的差距。該資助將促進社區評估、戰略框架制定和基於證據的行動計劃的制定，最終形成一個新的衛生平等手冊，針對CHCs和公立醫院。
This playbook will be disseminated via collaborative engagements with critical leaders at conferences, webinars, roundtable discussions and other education forums. Through these engagements of Board directors and executive leaders, BDHEA will unify and challenge leaders to listen to community voices and to respond to their critical health needs with forceful and effective action. Deloitte Consulting LLP will also support the creation of this new playbook.
通過與重要領導者在會議、網絡研討會、圓桌討論和其他教育論壇的合作交流，將傳播這本手冊。通過這些董事和高管領導者的參與，BDHEA將統一併挑戰領導者，傾聽社區的聲音，並以有力有效的行動回應其重要的健康需求。德勤諮詢公司也將支持這本新手冊的創建。
"To achieve health equity, we must commit to working together to make sure everyone has access to high-quality care," says Dr. Ronald L. Copeland, senior vice president and chief equity, inclusion, and diversity officer for Kaiser Permanente. "Through BDHEA's efforts, we hope to strengthen and empower community health centers and nonprofit hospitals to reduce, if not eliminate, all preventable and unjust health disparities, with trustees who are steadfast advocates for their communities."
「要實現健康平等，我們必須共同努力，確保每個人都有高質量的醫療保健。」 凱澤永久公司高級副總裁兼首席公平、包容和多元化官員羅納德·L·科普蘭博士表示。 「通過BDHEA的努力，我們希望加強和賦予社區衛生中心和非營利醫院的能力，減少甚至消除所有可預防和不公正的健康差距，併成爲對其社區堅定倡導者。」
Addressing the Need for Black Voices in Healthcare Boardrooms
This grant also underscores a commitment to increase, enlist, and engage Black corporate directors through the launch of the BDHEA's Board Diversification & Inclusion Project. This initiative seeks to champion and support increased recruitment and participation of Black board directors who often represent the heart of their communities.
關注醫療衛生董事會中黑人聲音的需求
該資助還強調通過BDHEA的董事會多樣化與包容性項目來增加、招募和吸引黑人企業董事。該倡議旨在支持加強黑人董事會成員的招募和參與，他們通常代表着他們所在社區的核心。
The project reflects the stark scarcity of Black voices in boardrooms, revealed by an Ernst & Young (EY) study for BDHEA, that few healthcare boards have more than one Black corporate director. "Representation matters, and it is crucial to ensure diverse voices are heard in boardrooms across the healthcare sector," notes BDHEA Executive Director Deborah Phillips. "Our work extends beyond representation and invites diverse perspectives and ideas to identify critical health equity solutions." EY will provide support to the Board Diversification & Inclusion Project.
該項目反映了董事會中黑人聲音的嚴重稀缺，由BDHEA委託恩智浦（EY）進行的一項研究顯示，很少有醫療保健董事會有超過一個黑人企業董事。「代表意義重大，確保在醫療保健領域的董事會上聽到不同聲音至關重要，」BDHEA執行董事Deborah Phillips指出。「我們的工作超越了代表性，並邀請不同的觀點和想法來找出關鍵健康公平解決方案。」 EY將爲董事會多樣化與包容性項目提供支持。
The grant is crucial in building the BDHEA's growth and impact. To realize its ambitious goals, BDHEA is seeking additional corporate and philanthropic support.
該資助對於BDHEA的增長和影響是至關重要的。爲了實現其雄心勃勃的目標，BDHEA正在尋求額外的企業和慈善支持。
Strategic alliances with organizations like Deloitte, EY and U.S. News & World Report help enhance and propagate the BDHEA model for health equity action with educational offerings for its members to refine board governance and to establish health equity programs.
與德勤、恩智浦和《美國新聞與世界報道》等組織建立戰略聯盟有助於增進和推廣BDHEA的健康公平行動模式，爲其成員提供教育方案，以完善董事會治理和建立健康公平計劃。

About BDHEA
The Black Directors Health Equity Agenda (BDHEA), founded in 2020, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that unites board directors, senior executives, and educators in healthcare from across the country with a common mission: to transform the healthcare industry by closing the gap in care, talent, research and policies for the Black community and, in turn, improve treatment outcomes, innovation and care for the entire nation. By developing a common agenda, continuous communication and shared outcomes—and by centralizing shared resources, data and innovations—the BDHEA will be the first and only national organization led by board directors and executives to address health disparities and outcomes among the Black community. The BDHEA envisions continuous, effective effort and action on eliminating disparities among Black people, where inequities have been the most persistent despite significant efforts by an array of interested parties over many years. As a trusted convener, educator and translator of data that represents and impacts Black communities, BDHEA is pursuing a holistic, comprehensive, national solution to mitigate health disparities and outcomes. The BDHEA's health equity toolkit offers extensive resources for board directors and C-suite executives to facilitate and track productive boardroom discussions and innovative responses to health disparities.
