Cultural Diversity and Health Disparities
With the previous years' funding, the Northwest Partnership produced a social justice video to communicate three key messages:
- health disparities exist across cultural economic groups,
- equal access to health promotion and disease prevention should be available to everyone, and
- responsibility for reducing health disparities belongs to everyone.
The Partnership will use current funds to develop a facilitated discussion model to complement the video. Upon completion, a video premier event will be hosted by the Partnership to provide regional health department staff with training on video facilitation and materials for dissemination. The video and training template is available to all interested health departments.

Land of Opportunity Documentary & Facilitated Discussion
The Northwest Partnership for Public Health and This Machine Productions invite you to look into the lives of four families who struggle to make ends meet. These North Carolina residents are equal in the sense that they are all American citizens. In some instances, though, this is where the equality stops.
This important documentary is free and available now on YouTube to all interested health departments. The training and facitator guide is provided below.
If you would like a DVD copy of the video, please contact Candice DuVernois, NW Partnership Coordinator, at candiced@apphealth.com for more information.
