The Afternoon Roundtable Discussion: Across the country, public health systems face different constraints, priorities, & opportunities for local-level partnerships. What unites most health departments, however, is the goal of using their available resources & connections to address their most critical population health needs. This roundtable discussion will explore how unique local public health challenges require creative, collaborative solutions. Panelists will share insights from their regional experiences in building public-private programs to improve community health, highlighting both successes & challenges. The discussion will also examine best practices for governance, coordination, & financing across public-private initiatives, drawing on lessons learned from initiatives in Iowa, Michigan, & beyond.

The Afternoon Panel: Health care leaders are increasingly prioritizing non-clinical factors-food, transportation, housing, & much more-in their efforts to promote better & more equitable health outcomes. Health-related social needs (HRSN) are widely seen as important, though creating programs & policies to address them can be complex. The afternoon panel will bring together a panel of leaders to discuss the opportunities, challenges, & diverse perspectives involved in addressing health-related social needs. With expertise from a large health system, a tech-enabled care management company, & a local public health department, our panelists bring a wide range of ideas, solutions, & innovations to the forefront. We will dive into the issue of "who does what?" when it comes to HRSN, discussing models of collaboration for public health, hospitals, private companies, nonprofits, & community partners.
