From Rough Ideas to Results
Are you convening a task force to issue important policy recommendations? Need someone to facilitate planning for a project? We can help. Among our recent projects:
Our work with the Minnesota Immigrant Health Task Force resulted in a website on immigrant and cross-cultural health issues and a report, entitled “Immigrant Health: A Call To Action.” The report was later featured in the Elsevier Press book, Immigrant Medicine.
The National Council on Interpreting in Health Care wanted to develop professional ethics and standards for medical interpreters across the United States. Health Advocates designed two national surveys, compiled the answers, drafted and re-drafted standards, managed two year’s worth of meetings and helped the Council achieve the results they were after. See the NCIHC report.
For the past eight years, Health Advocates has coordinated the growth of the Multilingual Health Resource Exchange, a collaborative of over a dozen often-competing health care groups. Through the Exchange, these organizations cut the cost of developing and translating health education materials.
We played a key role in planning, organizing and developing communication materials for the Consortium on Health and Mobility, a Medtronic-funded initiative founded by global medicine expert Dr. Patricia Walker. The Consortium seeks to broaden the definition of global medicine and educate providers to the complexities of diagnosis in a world defined by frequent international travel and immigration.
