About:

Where people live – and the access their communities provide to safe homes, healthy food, quality education, efficient transportation, and good jobs – has a major impact on their health and well-being. In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, which is disproportionately affecting low-income people and communities of color, physically and economically, it will be more important than ever to strengthen these social determinants of health.

How can health institutions go beyond talking about the social determinants to addressing them effectively?  This conference will bring together some of the nation’s most innovative pioneers on the front lines of this work to show you how to do it. In plenaries and workshops, you will

• learn from executives who are leading the work, as well as practitioners, partners, and funders,
• participate in a local immersion experience that will show you what one hospital and its partners have accomplished; and
• come away with concrete strategies and actions to take back to your communities – and a vision of what is possible.

We will be online for this conference, with Nationwide Children's Hospital staff and partners coming from Columbus, Ohio, home to the Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Families Zone (HNHF). HNHF is widely recognized for its innovative approach to affordable housing combined with education, health and wellness, safe and accessible neighborhoods, and workforce development.

Our hosts will be Nationwide Children’s Hospital, which established Healthy Neighborhoods Healthy Families in 2008, and the Center for Community Investment, which supports hospitals to invest in affordable housing through its Accelerating Investment for Healthy Communities Initiative.

General fee $75

Access to affordable housing powerfully shapes our shared economic outlook. In Central Ohio, housing opportunities influence where employers locate, how wages are determined, and whether our workforce is engaged and ready for the future. And, as the pandemic made clear, work from home doesn't work for families without a stable home.

Join us on September 28th for a community conversation on the intersection between affordable housing and economic growth, and how we can leverage this moment for a more prosperous future.

16 CLE/CEU credits available (lawyers/counselors/social workers/therapists)

Trainer: Shelley Whalen

Why Mediation Training:  
 Throughout the country a new awareness has emerged that the courthouse is not the best or only place for people to go for help when they are in conflict. Individuals, families and organizations involved in disputes are now turning to mediation as an alternative to the adversarial legal process. 

Ohio courts are frequently referring disputing parties to mediation as a less expensive and less time-consuming alternative to litigation. 

As more individuals and organizations are becoming aware of the advantages of mediation, many professionals are recognizing the benefits of expanding their career base to include conflict resolution services such as mediation

ARecent article from Yale Medicine* states studies show vaccination doesn’tincrease the risk of preterm births.

Join United Way of Central Ohio at this event!

It is obvious to the casual observer that our region is growing. In fact, 90% of the population growth in Ohio in the last decade occurred in Metro Columbus. Within the City of Columbus, the 2020 Census revealed it was the largest decade of growth in the city’s history, adding almost 120,000 more residents. The city’s current zoning was written in the 1950s and no longer aligns with how the city is growing. An effort is underway to rewrite the zoning code, and it will have far-reaching impacts on both existing neighborhoods and how the city grows for decades to come. Join a panel of city officials and nonprofit leaders to discuss how a new zoning code will change our city and impact affordable housing, neighborhood revitalization, and development, and accommodate future growth.

Featured Speaker(s): Moderator: Michael Wilkos, Sr. Vice President, Community Impact, United Way of Central Ohio; Carlie Boos, Executive Director, Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio; Leah F. Evans, President & CEO, Homeport; Erin J. Prosser, Assistant Director of Housing Strategies, The City of Columbus; Kevin Wheeler, Assistant Director for Growth Policy, The City of Columbus

Please join the Columbus Women's Commission on Friday, March 25, 2022, and learn how to join our movement in 2022: 100 Adopters. 100 Days. 100% Committed!

Overall, women in the United States are paid 83 cents for every dollar paid to white men, amounting to an annual gender wage gap of $10,435. Women of color experience an even greater disparity. African American women earn 63 cents for every dollar a white man makes, while Latina women earn 54 cents.

Pay inequality isn’t just a women’s issue, it’s a family issue and an economic issue. These lost wages mean women and their families have less money to support themselves, save and invest for the future as well as spend on goods and services.

Paying your employees equitably is, put simply, the right thing to do – and it’s good for business. Research has shown that increasing diversity in business fosters innovation, improves the bottom line and helps with recruitment.

In 2017, the Columbus Women’s Commission created the Columbus Commitment a voluntary, employer-led pledge to close the wage gap and achieve pay equity for working women. To-date, over 285 local employers have signed the pledge and are examining their practices to address equity.

In this webinar, First Lady and Chair of the Columbus Women’s Commission, Shannon Ginther, will share about the Columbus Commitment and the benefits of joining. A panel of commissioners and local employers will share best practices for building equitable and inclusive workplaces, and answer attendee

Launching during the month of International Women’s Day and Equal Pay Day, the pay equity campaign, 100 Adopters.100 Days. 100% Committed. will run from March 25 through July 3.

We invite employers to learn how to become one of the 100 new adopters in the next 100 days!

Have questions before the webinar? Email Christina Ratleff at CLRatleff@columbus.gov.
