Oregon Alliance Health Equity Annual Summit - May 2022 Wrap UpRECAP FOR SUMMIT 2022 FOR WEBSITE After more than two years we had an in-person Summit at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond, OR. And not just any in-person Summit. A fun, meaningful, and pivotal event with over 80 people in-person! We are beyond grateful for all our speakers, trainers, panels, and attendees for sharing their time with us. Our theme this year was Health Equity and we kicked it off with Mariotta Gary-Smith, an expert in Health Equity, presenting a Health Equity 101 to get everyone on the same page. Then, we dove into the self-care for your nervous system present by Shauna Signorini and Melissa Ballard-Batiste. Our second day was full and fulfilling which began with keynote speaker former Gov. Kitzhaber who inspired vision and unity for the state of Oregon. Then, we were taught by the wisdom and lived experience of our youth panel who all reminded us of why we do what we do. Next up, we had a Health Equity Policy Panel with representatives from the Oregon Department of Human Services, the Oregon Health Authority, and the Oregon Youth Authority . Finally, on our second day we had a Community Engagement Work Session where attendees broke out in groups and developed community engagement strategies with tangible actions to bring into their own organizations.
