Islands COVID-19 Health Equity Action Institute 2.0: Storytelling and Sustaining Efforts

Join OT21-2103 islands grant recipients, funders, experts, and partners to share success stories and plan for sustainability of the OT21-2103: National Initiative to Address COVID-19 Health Disparities among Populations at High-Risk and Underserved, Including Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations and Rural Communities project efforts. Participants will enjoy:

• Connecting with Island Health Officials, OT21-2103 project leads and co-leads, CDC, ASTHO, experts, and partners to help advance island areas’ health equity efforts.    
• Building consensus among participants on key areas for investment in the island areas’ health equity work.   
• Identifying approaches to sustain health equity efforts.  
• Action planning to prioritize and support the sustainability of island areas’ health equity work.    
• Meaningful collaboration and trust-building.    
• Assistance and technical support from ASTHO and partners.     

The meeting will be in-person only and ASTHO will pay for travel expenses (e.g., hotel, airfare, per diem) for island health officials and OT21-2103 project leads and co-leads attending the event. We will share a logistics guide with more details on travel expenses covered and instructions on how to book your hotel reservation and flights upon receiving your registration.
