  • 00:00:27
    - Living here, working here, I see the disparities
  • 00:00:29
    that we're experiencing, here in Solano County,
  • 00:00:31
    for marginalized communities.
  • 00:00:33
    - Latinos and Filipino Americans,
  • 00:00:36
    and other underrepresented groups
  • 00:00:39
    are not seeking services at the same rate
  • 00:00:41
    as the white population does.
  • 00:00:44
    And that's gonna impact their health outcomes.
  • 00:00:46
    If you're not getting care you're gonna
  • 00:00:48
    have a harder time getting well.
  • 00:00:50
    - We looked at our data and we knew that we had a problem,
  • 00:00:53
    and our cultural competency committee took that data
  • 00:00:57
    to strategize and look at what we could do.
  • 00:01:00
    There was an outreach to UC Davis,
  • 00:01:02
    my predecessor was familiar with the work
  • 00:01:05
    that the Center for Reducing Health Disparities does,
  • 00:01:08
    and we came together and collaboratively did
  • 00:01:10
    an innovation plan that was then presented
  • 00:01:12
    to the state, and approved.
  • 00:01:15
    - The Center for Reducing Health Disparities
  • 00:01:16
    was created and founded by my colleague
  • 00:01:19
    and friend, Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola,
  • 00:01:23
    with the goal of bringing health equity
  • 00:01:27
    to communities that experience health disparities.
  • 00:01:30
    - They country is hungry to come up with viable solutions.
  • 00:01:38
    And in our case, out of
  • 00:01:41
    the Center for Reducing Health Disparities at UC Davis,
  • 00:01:45
    we are focusing on community-based solutions.
  • 00:01:49
    Solano County is one of the most important projects
  • 00:01:55
    that we have embarked on.
  • 00:01:57
    (upbeat music)
  • 00:02:00
    - The Solano Country Cultural Transformation Project.
  • 00:02:03
    It's a five year long project,
  • 00:02:06
    where we have multiple stages of both research
  • 00:02:12
    and information gathering, as well as interventions.
  • 00:02:15
    The first phase was to learn the context
  • 00:02:20
    by which people in the Solano County community
  • 00:02:24
    have received mental healthcare,
  • 00:02:27
    and the kinds of work that the community
  • 00:02:30
    has been doing to try to bridge the gap.
  • 00:02:34
    - This project had people from the community at the table,
  • 00:02:37
    people who were service providers at the table,
  • 00:02:40
    and people who've received services at the table.
  • 00:02:44
    So that we can together come up with strategies
  • 00:02:48
    that are specific to our underrepresented populations,
  • 00:02:51
    which here are specifically, Latino,
  • 00:02:54
    Pilipino Americans and LGBTQ.
  • 00:02:57
    - Our center is eminently collaborative.
  • 00:03:02
    There is not a single thing that we do
  • 00:03:05
    that we do it by ourselves.
  • 00:03:10
    It's always in collaboration with multiple partners,
  • 00:03:15
    especially community partners.
  • 00:03:17
    - In the second phase of the project we trained.
  • 00:03:20
    We did a lot of training around the culturally
  • 00:03:23
    and linguistically appropriate services standards.
  • 00:03:26
    And we did so in the context of also building a sense
  • 00:03:30
    of community across different siloed parts of the county.
  • 00:03:34
    - I've had the distinct pleasure and honor
  • 00:03:38
    to be able to participate on a QI action plan,
  • 00:03:41
    which was the cultural game changers,
  • 00:03:44
    where we actually looked at our recruitment and hiring
  • 00:03:48
    and retention practices, here in the county,
  • 00:03:50
    and how we can actually be able
  • 00:03:53
    to better support a more diverse workforce
  • 00:03:56
    that is culturally and linguistically responsive
  • 00:03:59
    to the community in which we serve.
  • 00:04:01
    - And now we are in our third stage,
  • 00:04:03
    which is to start to implement
  • 00:04:06
    those quality improvement action plans,
  • 00:04:10
    and then setup an infrastructure to measure outcomes.
  • 00:04:13
    - We've seen more Latinos coming in
  • 00:04:16
    for care than ever before.
  • 00:04:18
    In fact, they were a majority of our new cases opened
  • 00:04:23
    in one of our adult clinics last year.
  • 00:04:25
    So, we know that we're moving in the right direction.
  • 00:05:05
    - A plan that we drafted is now the plan
  • 00:05:09
    for Solano County, it's not our plan any longer.
  • 00:05:12
    And we're delighted that that is the case,
  • 00:05:14
    because that's exactly the purpose.
  • 00:05:17
    We are doing work at the local level,
  • 00:05:21
    like in Solano County, at the state level,
  • 00:05:25
    at the national level and at international level.
  • 00:05:29
    - Everybody deserves access to care,
  • 00:05:32
    and the issues that keep people
  • 00:05:35
    from coming in to care, it's our obligation
  • 00:05:38
    to address them so that they will come in.
  • 00:05:42
    It's really critical for the system
  • 00:05:46
    to adjust itself to meet the needs of the population.
  • 00:05:50
    As the population in the community changes,
  • 00:05:53
    we need to change too.
