Public Health is defined as a science-based, evidence-backed field that promotes and protects the health and wellbeing of all people and their communities. The purpose of the Summit is to address the intersectionality of public health, mental and behavioral health, economic opportunity, and to develop strategies that will help improve the overall health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ+ community. Some key themes for the Summit are public health; policy development and implementation; issue advocacy; research and education; and economic opportunity.

Native American Women DO Breastfeed
|
|
|
Native American women DO breastfeed. This is something we don’t talk about often. It seems that when discussing the breastfeeding rates of Native women (as well as other communities of color) the focus tends to be on how we don’t breastfeed. My entire first post was devoted to this topic. We focus on disparities and inequities and disease and death. Those things are extremely important. They must be talked about and talked about often.

Managing Breastfeeding & Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus is an autoimmune condition in which the beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed by the body’s own immune system. It can occur at any age but is more common in children and young adults. The exact cause of Type 1 Diabetes is still not clear.

The Disproportionately Affected Populations Liaison coordinates and works in parallel with the Community Action and Engagement Regional Coordinators and other staff to ensure cohesive coordination across all ten Colorado regions; with a focus on services for the liaison's population of focus. Their role is to understand health disparities and other issues related to their population of focus, as well as resources available to support them and to assist LPHAs, community-based organizations and other entities across the state in assessing and identifying barriers to communicable disease prevention, immunizations and overall health and wellbeing. The Disproportionately Affected Population Liaison is responsible for ensuring coordinated support and resources within each region, when possible, including vaccine access and other disease prevention opportunities. The DAP Liaison is also responsible for identifying outreach opportunities where attendees may have an opportunity to engage with CDPHE to learn about public health issues affecting their communities, discuss community health needs, seek support, receive resources when available, and in some cases, receive immunizations.
