Who are We?
A group of healthcare providers that foster collaboration, community accountability, and medical education regarding sexual and gender minority (SGM) people in Northeast Ohio. We started this partnership because many of us in different hospital systems share patients, collaborate on research, and want to connect and learn from each other to support the health of SGM communities. We want to invite ALL people interested in the mission and pillars of our work to join us.

Our Mission:
Our mission is to optimize the health of sexual and gender minority individuals in Northeast Ohio through cross-institutional collaboration in research, education, community advocacy, and clinical care.

Four pillars of our work:

Community Outreach/Advocacy
Research Collaboration
Medical Education
Advancing Clinical Practice

At our first official meeting, we plan to introduce the group and then break up into workgroups focused on each of the four pillars to discuss and plan what we might do together. We anticipate quarterly meetings of the general body, with each workgroup deciding about how they will meet and operate.
All interested persons across discipline, profession, and training are welcome to participate.
If you have accessibility needs, please let us know.
Looking forward to connecting with you,
Clinicians from the SGM-focused teams at the VA Medical Center, University Hospitals, MetroHealth, and the Cleveland Clinic.

Health Disparities 2021: Moving Forward to Close the Gap in Minority and Ethnic Populations
2021-04-16 14:00 - 18:00
(Note: This event also occurs on April 17th in a different time slot – 8:00am-12:15 pm)
About the Course
Stroke, heart attacks and other related health disparities are devastating to communities across our nation due to their broad impact. These disparities ultimately result in death, disability, or limited engagement that leads to negative consequences in terms of financial stability, work-force numbers, care-giving, availability of expertise and guidance, with disproportionately higher rates in the African American and other minority communities. Greater awareness of the major issues surrounding stroke, heart attack and other health disparities in these populations is needed, as awareness is the first step in bringing about positive change. This conference will provide the evidence underlying stroke and other health disparities and will include a discussion of solutions to overcome the obstacles through lectures, case presentations, expert panels, and patient panels led by a nationally renowned faculty.
Learning Objectives

Critically assess the outcomes of local and national efforts to eliminate stroke and other health disparities in minorities and ethnic groups.
List challenges clinicians and patients/communities face that contribute to health disparities.
Describe the recent insights regarding social determinants of health and its impact on patient care.
Critically assess the impact of optimizing the Doctor-Patient relationship on eliminating stroke and other health disparities.
List the major areas where there are knowledge gaps in our understanding about stroke and other health disparities and identify interventions to mitigate these disparities.

Target Audience
Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Primary Care Providers, Internal Medicine, Critical Care, Emergency Medicine, OB/GYNs, Urologists, Cardiologists, Interventional Radiologists, Public Health Specialists, Social Work Professionals, and Medical School Faculty.

Master of Public Health Events: Case Competition
2021-04-07
The MPH Program is happy to announce that they have formed a collaboration with the Ohio State University College of Public Health to host a CWRU/OSU Case Competition in conjunction with National Public Health Week 2021. Teams of students from CWRU and OSU will compete to develop the best and most innovative public health solutions to an identified problem. The purpose of this case is to provide recommendations to mitigate and prevent the spread of COVID-19 among staff and those incarcerated in Ohio’s jails. The partnering organization is the ACLU of Ohio. The Case Competition will be held on Wednesday, April 7th.
What is a Case Competition?
A Case Competition brings teams of students together to develop solutions to an identified issue. The winning team is selected based on the merits (based on defined criteria and as judged by relevant experts) of their solutions.
How does this Case Competition work?
Teams from CWRU and teams from OSU will compete in a preliminary case competition. The winner from each school will then face one another in the final round of the competition. Community partners representing relevant organizations and expertise will serve as judges. There is a cash prize for the winning team!
