WELCOME MESSAGE from our Co-Presenting Sponsor Partner | 2022 Black Physicians Forum

Dear Colleagues,

Hendry Ton, M.D., M.S. Associate Vice Chancellor for Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Office for Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (within ODEI) University of California, Davis Health

Welcome to the 12th Annual Black Physicians Forum. I want to start by thanking our partners from Sac Cultural Hub, whose leadership and vision makes this event possible. This year’s theme focuses on the intersection between race, aging, and care. I am delighted that Dr Jean Accius, the Senior Vice President of Global Thought Leadership at AARP International will kick us off with the keynote address, with Dr. Thomas Hopkins, the former chief medical correspondent for KCRA-3 and a medical internist himself.

The COVID pandemic highlights longstanding inequities experienced by Black communities, including Black older adults who experienced greater rates of infection, hospitalization, and dying as a result of COVID. However, such inequities go far beyond COVID. A recent study by David Chae and colleagues found that Black people with greater accumulated experiences of racism experienced a faster rate of telomere shortening, pointing out that racism can literally accelerate aging. This underscores that racism is a pressing health and public health issue.

Racism also impacts through its influence over such social determinants of health as socioeconomic status. Due to racist practices such as redlining that prevented home ownership and subsequently wealth building for many in minoritized communities, the wealth gap between white and Black communities is staggering—the median net worth of white households is $188K compared to $24K for Black families. Education and employment barriers further compound these inequities. These have significant implications on Black older adults and their family members seeking elder care services.

At UC Davis, we are working to address these health inequities. Through our Anchor Institution Mission (AIM) for Community Health Initiative, we are using our economic leverage to support diverse businesses and employment for Sacramento’s most underserved communities with the ultimate goal of improving health. Our Family Caregiving Institute supports the well-being of diverse family caregivers through education and research, including examining caregiver stress experienced by Black families.

We know that many of you are working hard to address such inequities as well. Thank you for joining us at this Forum as we deepen our commitment to the health of our diverse communities.

Secondhand smoke exposure is rapidly increasing, and it’s up to you to educate yourself on the policies in your community that protect your family. Cities, counties, and tribes enact their own smokefree policies. Local policies can build on statewide smokefree laws, and expand to more places and spaces to protect you and your family.

Marijuana Secondhand marijuana smoke contains many of the same cancer-causing substances and toxic chemicals as secondhand tobacco smoke. In one study, 3 out of 4 kids whose parents smoked marijuana in the house had tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in their bloodstream.

Forum Leadership Welcome Message | 2022 Black Physicians Forum

Welcome to the 12th annual Northern California Black Physicians Forum.

The lives of seniors today vary greatly. Baby boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z have different life expectations yet all are in various stages of life juggling school, work, housing, money, and family/social connections. Their needs may be very different and business, government, and health care must rise to meet those needs.

The track of American life has been on autopilot for generations. As early as pre-school, children are lined-up on the track to get an education, get a job, work hard and then when they’re too old or sick to work there is retirement.

A fascinating thing that came from the COVID pandemic, is that it shook-up this track as we know it. Remote work, hybrid schedules, fewer commuters, home schooling, and virtual meetings all made huge advancements at the height of the COVID pandemic. It caused a worldwide reimagining of ways we can live. It is that imagination still at work that focuses us on “Race, Aging Adult Vulnerabilities & Long Term Care,” for the 2022 Black Physicians Forum.

We are excited to have Keynote Speaker - Dr. Jean Accius, Senior Vice President of Global Thought Leadership at AARP talk with us about how medical professionals and community members can begin a new discussion on what healthy aging looks like in communities of color. With greater health risks, economic instability, and multi-generational responsibilities, planning for healthy aging has never been more important.

In communities of color, a large part of elder care falls to family members. While many welcome the opportunity to be a help to their loved ones, having the training, time and support needed to maintain a high quality of life for seniors can be a challenge. With technology, advocacy for better health care access, and a reimagining of how elders can continue to contribute their talents to the community, each of us can help to create a community that supports healthy lives at every age.

Welcome to the 12th Annual Black Physicians Forum!

Be Well,

Pleshette

aregiving is an important public health issue that affects the quality of life for millions of individuals.

Caregivers provide assistance with another person’s social or health needs. Caregiving may include help with one or more activities important for daily living such as bathing and dressing, paying bills, shopping and providing transportation. It also may involve emotional support and help with managing a chronic disease or disability. Caregiving responsibilities can increase and change as the recipient’s needs increase, which may result in additional strain on the caregiver.1,2,3 Caregivers can be unpaid family members or friends or paid caregivers.1,2 Informal or unpaid caregivers are the backbone of long-term care provided in people’s homes. In particular, middle-aged and older adults provide a substantial portion of this care in the US, as they care for children, parents or spouses.2,3 These informal caregivers are the focus of this brief.2,3

Caregiving can affect the caregiver’s life in a myriad of ways including his/her ability to work, engage in social interactions and relationships, and maintain good physical and mental health.1 Caregiving also can bring great satisfaction and strengthen relationships, thus enhancing the caregivers’ quality of life. As the population ages and disability worsens, it is critical to understand the physical and mental health burden on caregivers, the range of tasks caregivers may preform, and the societal and economic impacts of long-term chronic diseases or disability.2 Gathering information on these topics enables us to plan for public health approaches to assist individuals as well as their communities and maintain the health of caregivers and care recipients.1

CALL TO ACTION | 2022 Black Physicians Forum CALL TO ACTION

Caregiving is an increasingly common experience in middle and older adults that cuts across demographic groups.

The need for caregivers is expected to grow due to the continued increases in the older adult population. Many middle-aged and older adults who are not currently caregivers do expect to provide care in the future. People are caregivers for various amounts of time, but most people provide care for six months or more and for many it is equivalent to a part-time job. These caregivers may have a substantial burden of disability and chronic disease as they care for others.

By acting strategically, public health professionals can stimulate needed changes to systems that promote the health and well-being of both caregivers and their care recipients. Below are some of the actions that you and your community can take to make changes that positively impact caregivers.

1. Increase messaging that emphasizes both the important role of caregivers and the importance of maintaining caregivers’ health and well-being.

2. Educate the public about the importance of caregiving before they begin and the resources and supports available to them.

3. Educate healthcare providers to be mindful of the health risks for caregivers, encourage caregivers’ use of available information and tools, and make referrals to supportive programs and services.

4. Evaluate caregiver training and support programs to determine program accessibility, effectiveness, and impact.

5. Estimate the gap between workforce capacity and anticipated demand for services to support people with dementia and disability and their caregivers.

6. Increase awareness of and access to evidence-based programs and services that can help caregivers and care recipients and increase access to these programs and services.

7. Encourage caregivers to get regular check-ups, use preventive services and engage in self-care to maintain health.

8. Ensure that caregivers with a disability and/or chronic diseases have access to selfmanagement programs to maintain their health.

Guest Presenters | 2022 Black Physicians Forum Garrett Davis – Founder of GDavis Productions and Films, Aging Care Advocate

Playwright, Garrett Davis’ mission to educate and advocate with laughter is making an impact with audiences across the nation with his touring Performing Arts series. Illness does not discriminate - not void of race, age or gender; so consequently, families and communities are afflicted by various health issues sharing similar experiences, questioning yet learning to cope and comfort.

Over 20 years ago, when Davis momentarily followed this path of salacious content with a twist of humor from a matriarch that spews wisdom with a touch of sass underpinned by inspirational music, he realized the opportunity to make a greater impact with his audience that would distinguish his production from everybody else. For Davis, it became crystal clear, that is, entertain while simultaneously raising the awareness of caregiving and diabetes. It is with this desire that the platform of “taking care of the caregiver” was birth with “Mama’s Girls” that celebrates its 6th year of touring when five ordinary sisters come together to face the reality of their mother’s declining health. His production company, GDavis Productions, partnered with AARP to launch the “Prepare to Care” project - a national outreach effort that raises the awareness of caregiving as well as with the American Diabetes Association.

Another production, “Forget Me Not” is more personal for Davis as it was written to provide closure for his reallife inability to cope with and care for his Grandma Goodness stricken with Alzheimer’s. His outreach, advocacy and awareness for Alzheimer’s led to successful partnerships with the US Against Alzheimer’s Network, Emory Hospital’s Brain Center and AstraZeneca that allows him to reach more people and make a difference in people’s lives. His partnership with Emory Hospital’s Brain Center successfully registered over 100 participants for clinical trials. In addition, as U.S. Ambassador for the National Alzheimer’s Association, Davis learned more about the disease, and the regulatory laws as well as the platform to educate and further share the importance of the caregiver. He co-founded The African American Network Against Alzheimer’s with Honorary Co-Chairs former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher, Rev. Al Sharpton, The Honorable Kay Coles James and Melody Barnes, formerly of the Obama Administration.
