Join the Community Conversation with Angela Warren and Monica Avila, The Culture of Health Leadership for Racial Healing (CoHLI) Cohort 3 Fellows, working at the City of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District, within the Access to Care program.
The City of San Antonio committed to advancing racial equity in government with the formation of the Office of Equity in August 2017, which has since developed the Equity Indicators Report, the Budget Equity Tool, an internal Citywide Equity Committee, and numerous Department Equity Assessments designed to ensure racial equity in the delivery of City Services.
On August 20, 2020, the City of San Antonio passed and approved a Resolution declaring racism as a public health crisis, acknowledging that the effects of systemic and structural racism are a public health crisis in San Antonio and by committing to advocating for racial justice as a core element of all policies, programs, and procedures.
Why talk about Racism, Racial Equality, and Racial Healing? We must start somewhere…so let’s begin in a brave space, to create a safe space for people to be authentic and vulnerable. Racial Healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherit value of all people.

Culturally “Rapped”: A conversation among therapists of color to learn from one another about how we culturally tailor our behavioral health interventions to address racial and systemic healing in our communities.
The land and the places we live have deep ties to culture, language, history and the opportunities to live long and well. Join County Health Rankings & Roadmaps on the National Day of Racial Healing as we examine the relationship between reclaiming ancestral land and health and well-being. Nick Tilsen, president and CEO of NDN Collective and a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation, will describe how Indigenous land acknowledgements can help repair generational trauma rooted in forced relocation and intentional erasure of native language and cultural traditions. We will also discuss the land back movement calling for the return of Indigenous lands to strengthen social and economic opportunity. The movement’s strategy emphasizes building relationships across groups experiencing oppression, shifting power and transforming systems to build a world where everyone thrives.
Mark your calendars: Immediately following the webinar at 3 p.m. CT/4 p.m. ET, County Health Rankings & Roadmaps will host a one-hour discussion. Join us in an engaging dialogue with peers across the country and share your experiences working toward equity.
