This spring conference is our 5th event sponsored by the ISMs Initiative, a School of Public Health and community partnership to provide training, resources and models for addressing the “isms” in health organizations.
In recent years, people working on health disparity and cultural competence initiatives in Bay Area public health and health care organizations have found that powerful and underlying “-isms” sometimes limit their ability to move these initiatives forward. These “-isms” include racism, class-ism, sexism, ageism, heterosexism, able-body-ism, etc., and involve issues of oppression, bias, and privilege.
The “-isms” Planning Team: Roberto Almanzan, Contra Costa Crises Center Lynn Baskett, John Muir health Kimberly Bradley, Children’s Hospital Oakland Lincoln Casimere, City of Berkeley Division of Public Health Thea Daniels, Children’s Hospital Oakland Marge Deichman, Alameda County Dept of Public Health Miriam Eisenhardt, Samuel Merritt College of Nursing Danielle Le, School of Public Health Obiel Leyva, School of Public Health Mia Luluquisen, Alameda County Dept of Public health Jill Miller, Children’s Hospital Oakland Ellie Schindelman, School of Public Health Kitsy Schoen, Kaiser East Bay, Dept of Psychiatry Christine Smallwood, Alta Bates-Summit Medical Center Dawna Vann, Contra Costa Health Services
