ShareCorps- Ohio Public Health Assn- Outreach Coordinator
 
 
 
We are a member based organization that provides educational and networking opportunities for our members, often the front line workers in local health departments. The pandemic and subsequent shut down of face-to-face interactions has presented OPHA with significant financial and programmatic challenges. To offset this, we developed a virtual presence which allowed us to offer 2 webinars that explored Racism As A Public Health Crisis. and are planning 4 more educational webinars during the coming year. We now need to find ways to provide more virtual learning experiences for our members. To accomplish that we need help assessing the training and capacity building needs of our members. We also recognize the well-publicized impact of COVID19 on communities of color and know that many of the co-morbidities suffered by those communities, such as heart disease and diabetes, are exacerbated by poor oral health care and lack of access to routine dental services. Complicating these issues is the well-founded lack of trust in some communities of color for medical professionals which will impact the number of people willing to get vaccinated for COVID19 and to seek the other more common immunizations. The VISTA member will help us address these issues by providing the human resource necessary to do a member needs assessment and provide for recruitment and training of new volunteers. Some of these new volunteers will act as mentors for consumers from communities of need. The volunteers will provide support in the effort to educate policy makers about ways to improve access to dental care and evidence based immunization information.

Member Duties : The VISTA member will help Ohio Public Health Association rebuild engagement with our trained and skilled public health membership base so damaged by COVID19. We will build the capacity of the membership to assist in addressing the suffering exacerbated by health care inequities revealed during the pandemic. Working with our membership, the VISTA member will work to assess needs of public health workers, educators, and students; distribute evidence based information about immunizations; improve access to dental care; and partner with folks from underserved communities. These efforts will result in a more engaged and public health workforce willing and able to focus their activities in ways which will reduce health inequities and disparities across Ohio leading to elimination of poverty.
