SUMMARY:Fostering Health Equity by Creating Equitable Housing: An Anchor Institution’s Journey
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kenneth Morris\, Jr.\, MHA\, MA\nVice President\, External Affairs\, St. Joseph’s Health \nView Video Here \nSupportive housing is a groundbreaking concept that combines affordable housing with essential services to provide stability\, autonomy\, and dignity to people grappling with complex challenges. The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Hospital Partnership Subsidy Pilot Program revolutionized the affordable housing landscape by leveraging hospital equity with the 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program to establish affordable housing developments near hospital campuses\, catering specifically to frequent users of hospital services. \nRecognizing the pivotal role of stable\, affordable housing in healthcare\, St. Joseph’s Health\, in collaboration with HMFA and local agencies\, opened Barclay Place\, the first supportive affordable housing  development in New Jersey. Launched in 2023\, Barclay Place\, located near St. Joseph’s University Medical Center in Paterson\, offers vulnerable families and individuals the opportunity to rent affordable apartments and access vital supportive services St. Joseph’s Health provides.  This innovative initiative embodies a new era of compassionate and comprehensive care\, empowering individuals\, and families to thrive in a nurturing and supportive environment. \nAs Vice President of External Affairs at St. Joseph’s Health\, Kenneth M. Morris\, Jr.\, MHA\, MA\, oversees operations at the Paterson\, Wayne\, and Totowa\, NJ campuses. In this role\, he manages Government Affairs\, Community Outreach and Engagement\, the System’s Regional Health Coalition\, the Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program\, and WIC\, as well as a portfolio of the System’s real estate holdings. Over his 43-year career at St. Joseph’s\, Ken has developed programs to enhance healthcare access for underprivileged residents in Passaic County. Notably\, he spearheaded the creation of the first supportive affordable housing development in New Jersey\, addressing social determinants of health. \nThe Ruth Ellen Steinman Bloustein and Edward J. Bloustein Memorial Lecture was established to honor the memory of these two extraordinary individuals. It celebrates the values and interests Ruth Ellen and Ed cherished and cultivated throughout their lives: the study and preservation of animal species and the natural environment\, the celebration of love\, happiness\, and laughter as tools of clinical medicine\, and the exploration and promotion of humane values\, which they believed were woven in the fabric of Judaic tradition and passed down from generation to generation.

SUMMARY:Meck Memorial Lecture--Not the Master’s Tools: 5\,000 years of  Money\, Credit\, and Community Banking
DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nOscar Perry Abello\nSenior Economics Correspondent\, Next City \nWhile the laws\, regulations\, and structure of banking greatly influence land use\, urban planning and housing\, banking itself is poorly understood—even by many who work in banking. Looking around today\, it may seem like big banks have always lorded over the economy\, but in reality\, it was community banks that did the bulk of the work to finance the expansion of infrastructure\, homes\, small businesses and industries that built the cities and rural economies that make up our country today. Even less understood is how the pattern of local ownership and local control over the banking system that helped build this country is part of a pattern that has shown up in thriving cultures and societies going back 5\,000 years\, to the very earliest written records of human activity we have found so far. While it is true\, as Audre Lorde wrote\, that the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house\, banking and money and credit were never the master’s tools to begin with. It’s time for communities to take them back again. \nOscar Perry Abello is currently the senior economic justice correspondent for Next City\, an independent\, not-for-profit\, online publication covering cities from the lens of social\, racial\, and environmental justice. He is also the author of The Banks We Deserve: Reclaiming Community Banking for a Just Economy\, forthcoming in February 2025 from Island Press. Oscar’s writing has also appeared in Yes! Magazine\, City & State New York\, Impact Alpha\, Shelterforce\, and other outlets. Oscar is a child of immigrants descended from the former colonial subjects of the Spanish and U.S. imperial regimes in the Philippines. He was born in New York City\, and raised in the inner-ring suburbs of Philadelphia. He has a bachelor’s degree from Villanova University\, majoring in economics and minoring in peace and justice studies. He spent several years embedded in the international development industry before transitioning into journalism full-time in 2015. He currently lives in New York City with his domestic partner and the two most photogenic kitties in the world. \nWatch the Video

SUMMARY:Community and Belonging Lecture | Built to Belong: From Advocacy to Action  in Launching New Jersey’s  Public Health Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Bloustein School Annual Community and Belonging Lecture is presented by Dr. Denise Anderson\, an accomplished public health executive with experience in hospitals\, government\, nonprofit organizations\, and academia. She is the Inaugural Executive Director of The Center for Health Equity & Wellbeing\, New Jersey’s newly designated Public Health Institute. She serves on the boards of the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ) and is President-Elect of the New Jersey Public Health Association (NJPHA). She holds a BS in Human Ecology\, an MPH from Rutgers\, and a Ph.D. in Urban Systems from Rutgers and NJIT.  Further\, Dr. Anderson is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Public Health Prevention Service Fellow\, an Eagleton Institute of Politics Fellow\, and a Yale Pozen-Commonwealth Fund Fellow in Health Equity Leadership. \nRegistration is requested by visiting go.rutgers.edu/anderson26. \nPublic institutions do more than administer programs and distribute resources; they communicate whose experiences matter\, whose voices influence decisions\, and who belongs within the systems designed to protect our collective well-being. Building equitable public health infrastructure therefore requires more than creating a new organization. It requires challenging entrenched systems\, cultivating trust\, sharing power\, and translating community priorities into sustainable policy and action. \nDrawing from her experience launching the Center for Health Equity & Wellbeing—New Jersey’s Public Health Institute (CHEW-NJPHI)—Dr. Denise Anderson will offer a candid examination of what it takes to build a statewide institution from the ground up. The discussion will trace CHEW-NJPHI’s journey from advocating for authorizing legislation to establishing an administrative and incubation partnership with Acenda Integrated Health\, developing a community-centered strategic plan\, and assuming a significant role in New Jersey’s Rural Health Transformation initiative. \nIn this case study\, Dr. Anderson will explore the tensions and opportunities of turning vision into infrastructure: building legitimacy while building capacity\, balancing urgency with sustainability\, and navigating relationships among government\, communities\, funders\, and institutional partners. The lecture invites participants to consider how public health institutions can be intentionally designed to advance belonging\, strengthen community power\, and embed equity not only in their programs but also in their structures\, partnerships\, investments\, and measures of success.
