Resources for Integrated Care (RIC) Webinar:  Health Coaching and Wellness Planning to Increase Client Engagement in Self-Management

  • Tuesday, September 10; 12:00pm - 12:30pm.  

    The Institute of Medicine describes self-management as “tasks that individuals must undertake to live well with one or more chronic conditions.”  The concept includes a wide range of behaviors that individuals might focus on to maintain or improve their health, like diet, exercise, sleep, social outlets, and stress reduction.  Health coaching and wellness planning programs have been shown to increase self-management skills as well as quality of life and achievement of health goals.

    In this event, Judith Cook, PhD, will answer questions on how health coaching and wellness planning can increase the engagement of individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid in self-management activities.  Submit questions in advance using any of these options:

    • Send an email with your questions to RIC@Lewin.com.
    • Direct message @Integrate_care on Twitter.
    • Include your question in the designated textbox during registration.

An Introduction to a Person-Centered Solution Offering Full Accountability, Active Community Support, and  Continuity of Care

  • Monday, September 16; 2:00pm - 3:30pm.  Microboards are tiny nonprofit corporations that are custom-designed to serve one person.  Because of this singular focus, person-centered planning and service design is ‘baked-in' to the model and offers the ability to adapt quickly to someone's changing needs.  Each Microboard is part of a larger personal circle of citizen-based support, connection, and companionship, offering a base for lifelong continuity of care, advocacy, and creative problem-solving.

    Nearly 2,000 Microboards are operating in cities, small towns, and rural areas in the U.S. and Canada.  They can be implemented using existing state structures and Medicaid regulations, so states can seamlessly incorporate them into existing procedures for approving and contracting with new providers.  In this webinar, we’ll hear from the originator of the model.  We’ll also hear from leaders of two active Microboards (one in Wisconsin and one in Georgia) who’ll describe how they’re using the model to promote a good life for the person at the center.

Love Sings Louder flier

Save the date and get involved - September 15 - Love Sings Louder

Sunday, September 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Iroquois Amphitheatre, enjoy a free, community-wide, multi-faith, multi-cultural, intergenerational program: Love Sings Louder. 

The Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Center has been inspired by the currently popular “mass singing initiatives” facilitated by groups like Israel’s Koolulam and Canada’s Choir!Choir!Choir!. These events bring together a diverse range of community members with the idea to stop everything for a few hours and just sing together.

In partnership with a diverse group of community leaders, groups and organizations, the Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Center will bring this experience to the Louisville community, enabling participants to enjoy the feeling of togetherness through a deep communal experience – their sounds and voices coming together to create a social choir, full of hope and optimism.

Co-Chairs: Councilperson Barbara Sexton-Smith & Mark Perelmuter

Event Committee (as of June 4, 2019): Amy Shir (LHOME),  Edgardo Mansilla (Americana), Kevin Traeger, Jessica Loving (Jewish Community Relations Council), JP Davis (Fund for the Arts), Cantor David Lipp (Adath Jesurun) Haleh Harimi (IDP), Anne Ensign-Urteaga (J Arts & Ideas), Adrienne Eisenmenger & John Koehlinger (KRM), Wanda Mitchell-Smith (Metro District 4), Michael Drury (Pandora Productions), Chris Hartman (Fairness Campaign), Ashley Duncan (JCPS), Terri Foster (Louisville Youth Orchestra), Mera Corlett (Okolona Baptist Church), Dr. Muhammad Babar (APPKI)

LouieConnect

LouieConnect

Louisville non-profits have launched a new website to help connect people in need of food, shelter, and more.  Metro United Way and the Family Scholar House partnered to create LouieConnect, modeling it on a similar site created in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  When someone uses LouieConnect, the web-based app asks for basic information and then lists applicable resources nearby — from food pantries to shelters to career centers to financial literacy programs.
