At UMSL in room 202 :
“Building Inclusive Communities: Creating Empathy around Health Disparities”
Ioana Staiculescu and Stanton Hudson – Center for Health Policy of University of Missouri

The workshop was developed to advance the dialogue about health disparities by engaging participants in an activity called Crossing the Lines and by facilitating a discussion of the topic among stakeholders, including members of the community, academia, the health care community, and business; policy makers; and philanthropic organizations. The goal of the workshop is to also consider the progress –and/or lack thereof—that has been made over the past decade to reduce health disparities.

Objectives: At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
1. Understand the impact of oppression on different groups in society
2. Build empathy by pointing out how most of us have been targeted by oppression in one way or another
3. Realize the real and measurable effects of prejudice, discrimination, and institutional oppression
5. Practice strategies to challenge and educate when encountering microagressions and other manifestations of bias

Site Visits
Change and Integration: Kingdom House

Kingdom House believes in transformation…from the inside out.  Through holistic programs and services, it promotes empowerment and growth in individuals and families. It helps the economically disadvantaged achieve economic independence, self-sufficiency and a path out of poverty. Kingdom House was founded in 1902 as a settlement house, and more than 100 years after its founding, it continues to provide critical social services to the poorest of the poor in St. Louis, including health and wellness programming, language classes, academic support and job readiness training, after school and summer camp programs and much more.

Civil Rights and Political Participation: International Institute of St. Louis

The International Institute is St. Louis’ welcoming center for new Americans. Its mission is to help immigrants and their families become productive Americans and champion ethnic diversity as a cultural and economic strength.
It provides essential community integration services to more than 7,500 immigrants and refugees from 80 countries each year. Its clients range from low-skilled to high-skilled and from non-literate to university-educated. Programs include employment and training services, refugee resettlement, economic development including entrepreneurship services, and activities to connect newcomers and the wider community and build appreciation for cultural diversity.

Economic Development: Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis seeks to improve business opportunities for Hispanic firms and professionals thereby improving the economic development of the St. Louis region. The objective of the Hispanic Chamber is to promote and support Hispanic small businesses through programs, services, and legislative advocacy. This site visit will travel to Cherokee St. where a representative will share some of the history of the street and discuss the Hispanic Chamber’s role in the business community. Lunch will be in a restaurant that is a member of the Chamber.

Education: ESOL Bilingual Migrant Program of St. Louis Public Schools

The ESOL Bilingual Migrant Program of St. Louis Public Schools serves over 2,700 English Language Learners (ELLs) in K-12 grade so that students can develop both language and content knowledge. The ESOL Program supports 18 ESOL center schools with high number of ELLs as well as over 50 other district schools that have a smaller number of ELLs. The supports include professional development to teachers and staff, counseling and social work supports for ELLs as well as bilingual support for students, families, and district staff. During the site visit, conference participants will learn about instructional and student support services as well as parent supports within the ESOL Bilingual Migrant Program.

Health: Casa de Salud

The mission of Casa de Salud is to facilitate and deliver high-quality clinical and mental healthcare to the uninsured, with a special focus on the immigrant community, who encounter barriers to accessing other forms of care. They do this by partnering with volunteer physicians and health & human service agencies throughout the region to foster health and hope so people can become productive participants in our community. Its model is predicated on cooperation and collaboration. Instead of trying to deliver myriad services at one location, it provides basic primary care and then work with other organizations throughout the region to deliver specialty services. This allows Casa to be more sustainable, reduces the costs incurred by our partners associated with uncompensated care for chronic illnesses, and integrates the foreign born community into the systems of care used by everyone in the region.

Youth Development: St. Francis Community Services

St. Francis Community Services provides culturally and linguistically competent social services, mental health counseling, and youth programming to the Latino and Vietnamese immigrant communities of the St. Louis area at our Southside location. Come see our space and talk about our after-school program for children of immigrant families to discuss what works well and what doesn’t so we can all learn from each other.
