Missouri C Connection: Donna Peissner transferred to a position as a Behavioral Health Therapist in Kirksville, in Northeast Missouri. She continues to be a part of the Appalachian Community Collaborative and has extended the leadership skills beyond the boundaries of Appalachia…however, there is another connection…………… A.T. Still who formed osteopathic medicine in Kirksville, MO., was from the Appalachian mountains of Jonesville, Va.; just a short drive from LMU-DCOM or KYCOM

CACCOM Research and Analysis…….. These findings from the CACCOM research activities support changing the "directionality" of our research: In that we need to view our community members not only as "learners," but also invaluable "teachers" who can teach our students about local cultures and health.
The C Centr tral Ap Appalach chian C Consor orti tium of Colleges o of Osteopa pathi hic M Medicine ( (CACCOM) R Road ad S So Far…… Prior to NLAPH, the CACCOM Researchers implementing a workforce assessment by studying: 1) Existing internal data from the three schools 2) Existing state and federal databases containing relevant workforce information 3) Quantitative (e.g. survey) research to supplement existing health workforce data from each school regarding workforce preparation, practice environments, and preferences 4) Qualitative research to gain in-depth knowledge about recruitment and retention factors impacting the workforce in Central Appalachia.
NATIONAL L L Leadershi hip… We have moved further toward completing our workforce development projects, and have gained further traction in changing our research trajectory. At this juncture with NLAPH guidance: • We are now preparing formal proposals for these new initiatives that fit under our revised paradigm for research. • Develop a plan to move beyond the grant funded workforce project • Create a sustainability plan focused on community engagement health initiatives, which will tie into workforce development. Moreover, our priorities will focus on how our initiative

Big Picture Note our "Big Picture" represents a significant shift from consortium's original trajectory. We are discovering empowering communities to engage with one another is much more important and foundational than are efforts to carry out research that offers definitive findings.
Group Work: Through systems thinking approaches and emergent design solutions, our team is advancing CCN’s initiative to improve communication and coordination between underserved individuals and care providers in their community.
Cross-sectional Leadership • Intentionally work to remove barriers in critical areas (e.g., payment reform, spread of good ideas) through collaboration with traditional and nontraditional partners. • People with lived experience work together with community connectors and formal leaders to co-design and drive the change. • Leaders across the community work together strategically to create the systems and policies needed to sustain long-term change. • Displaying humility and a willingness to adopt solutions created by others.
NL NLAPH PH Proj ojec ect O Outcom omes es: Our main outcome is to enhance our linkages to and within our communities. These linkages include, but are not limited to: 1) Medical Schools & Community 2) Medical Schools and Public K12 Systems 3) Linkages among our community partners
Doctors Can’t Do It Alone! • Social Determinants of Health reveal health disparities will not be solved through clinical care alone. • Social Determinants of Health also provide CACCOM a breadth of contexts for strategic planning of research. • Alcohol and Drug Use • Access to Care • Education • Housing and Transit http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/what-is-health
Le Lessons Le Learned Our work with the NLAPH thus far has taught us that our paradigms for improving health in our communities may have been rather "shallow" with respect to Iceburg Metaphor Dr. Baumgartner shared.
