Networking & Refreshments at 8:00 a.m. Clackamas County Public Health invites members of the business community, retailers and professionals for a morning of inspiring presentations from national and local thought leaders regarding Re-Thinking and Re-Imagining Health and Well Being in our county. Traditionally, public health agencies have had relatively few formal partnerships with private business. However, both groups share an interest in ensuring a healthy population. Businesses have a financial interest in supporting organized public health efforts; in turn, business partnerships can increase the reach and effectiveness of public health. This event will make the case for the business sector’s participation in the broad public health system and its support of governmental public health agencies. Our speakers will highlight past and current partnerships that exemplify how public health efforts benefit business and will suggest opportunities for future collaboration to improve the public’s health. Come listen as national and local speakers challenge us to think differently about how we work together and the importance of building connections that allow us to reimagine healthy communities that are centered on well-being and productivity, the vibrancy of our communities and the prosperity of our region. Agenda can be found below. Featured Speakers: Scott Hall, Senior Vice President, Civic and Community Initiatives, Kansas City Chamber of Commerce Scott Hall is the Senior Vice President for Civic and Community Initiatives at the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, a business association representing more than 2,000 members throughout metropolitan Kansas City. In his role at the KC Chamber, Scott oversees the work on the KC Chamber’s “Healthy KC” project, an initiative in partnership with more than 150 Kansas City area organizations to make Greater Kansas City a destination for healthy living. Since its launch in 2015, the Healthy KC initiative has worked with more than 300 area organizations to implement best-practice workplace wellness policies, created a region-wide program to make Greater Kansas City “trauma-informed,” and successfully partnered with 28 local governments to raise the age of purchase and sale of tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes and related paraphernalia, to 21. This project, Tobacco21|KC, now covers nearly 1.5 million area residents and is projected to save thousands of lives over the next decade from death due to tobacco use. Mr. Hall has spoken across the country to a variety of audiences about tobacco prevention, workplace wellness, and community health.
