IHPI National Advisory Board offers strategic guidance
On October 25, we welcomed IHPI's
National Advisory Board to Ann Arbor for our fifth annual meeting. This year, the theme was "Striving for Local, National & Global Health Equity," and discussion throughout the day focused on the following topics:
- Dr. Tachi Yamada described his vision for launching a new U-M Center for Global Health Equity, which will be established through a $10 million gift from Dr. Yamada and his wife, Leslie. The board discussed ideas for external partnerships and how health services research approaches could be successfully and sustainably applied across different resource settings, as well as IHPI's role in partnering with the new center.
- Chris Friese and Minal Patel shared updates on their new initiative to improve the health of rural populations in Michigan. Board members recommended similar models from other states to consider and offered ideas for continuing to engage policymakers, philanthropy, and other stakeholders in this work.
- A panel of IHPI members shared their experiences with the Emerging Scholars Exchange Program, which offers career development opportunities for early career faculty with partners UCSF and Penn.
- Michele Heisler and Adrienne Lapidos shared lessons learned from the Cody Rouge Community Health Worker Demonstration Project, which is now in the evaluation stage, and the board discussed future opportunities for IHPI's work on social determinants of health and academic-community partnerships.
- A panel of IHPI members presented ideas for how the institute could harness momentum and resources to promote gender equity in healthcare, and the board gave an assessment of potential opportunities and partnerships for innovation and research in this area.
The NAB continues to be impressed with IHPI's progress and with our members' engagement, and they offered valuable ideas for new strategic partnerships and other ways to disseminate our work for greater impact. We are grateful for the NAB's continued guidance on these priorities and our long-term vision and strategy for the institute.

A recent National Poll on Healthy Aging report revealed that despite widespread awareness of the problem of antibiotic resistance among older adults, one in five has taken leftover antibiotics without consulting a medical professional. Meanwhile, two in five expect an antibiotic prescription for a cold
---- even though the drugs don't work on these and other illnesses caused by viruses.
And while half of older Americans got help from the infection-fighting power of antibiotics in the past two years, a sizable minority didn't follow the instructions on their pill bottle, the poll finds.
