Melding Health and Equity in Rural Places

Roger Rennekamp ·
"Hospitals and clinics are critical institutions in rural places not only because they provide essential healthcare and well-being services, but because they are major employers and community anchors. But not all health systems see themselves as opportunity makers. What does it take for rural healthcare systems to make economic development and building healthy communities part of their work?

Social Determinants of Health: What’s Happenin’ on the Hill?

This is encouraging, thank you for sharing. I work in transportation education at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Tompkins County, New York. Sometimes people know what they need to do to improve their health, but they have no reasonable way to get to their doctor's appointments, or to physical therapy, or even to the pharmacy.

I taught a course titled Integrating Public Health and Clinical Systems. There is of course no standard text book for such a topic, but I found a great compendium of essays from the deBeaumont Foundation called the Practical Playbook for Integrating Public Health and Primary Care. The social determinants of health are at the heart of connecting the two sectors. The second edition of this book talks about developing multisector partnerships. https://www.debeaumont.org/pro.../practical-playbook/

You should also be aware that therapists and licensed psychologists often use different terminology when describing their own roles and responsibilities as professionals. For example, I've found that many health care professionals use "therapist" without realizing it because they are not trained as psychologists; therefore, they use language such as "therapist" instead of "psychologist," "psychologist" instead of "psychotherapist," etc.. This confusion can be very confusing if it turns out...

Cooperative Extension: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

In my role as a Well-Being and Equity Project Manager, I am working to co-create a process for youth and adults to promote equitable development in their community by partnering with Cooperative Extension.

I am relatively new to Extension and come at it from the Master Gardener Volunteer side. I will say that your article mirrors my experience with the organization very well. There are a lot of great people working hard to make a difference but the structure and culture of CES make that an uphill battle.

Thank you so much for this article. I agree there is passion and dedication everyday within CCE. But the accepted culture and the inherent creation of silos prevents a lot of good things from happening. With many times, gaps being closely related to the lack of effective, inclusive communication leading to unwillingness to collaborate on projects, programming and mission.

Wow! You really got to the heart of Cooperative Extension in this thought-provoking essay. Our traditions can enrich our experiences but can present barriers to participation for others who are not part of our traditional audiences. I hope that we as leaders in this organization can develop a habit of reflection and self-knowledge that will allow us to adapt to a changing society and remain relevant. I am confident that we will do so.

Emotional health, intricately tied to mental well-being, encapsulates the richness of our feelings, the capacity for empathy, and the ability to forge meaningful connections. It involves self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a profound understanding of one's own emotions and those of others. Spiritual health, while diverse in its interpretations, reflects the essence of our inner selves—our beliefs, values, and connection to something greater than ourselves. It transcends religious...
