Helpful Tips for Using Zoom.Participants
The Institute of Healthcare Improvement has hosted a virtual learning hour: Telemedicine: COVID 19 and Beyond.
Description of the virtual learning: During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care professionals have turned to telemedicine to remotely diagnose and monitor patients with suspected coronavirus infection, stay in touch with patients with COVID-19 symptoms that can be managed at home, and triage patients with more typical health issues. This Virtual Learning Hour explores what this means for the future of telemedicine once the pandemic subsides, and how the expanded use of telehealth is spreading critical COVID-19 knowledge and effective medical interventions to clinicians around the world.

The Montgomery/Richmond Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas collaboration was the first in the United States to implement “The Daily Mile,” an evidence-based intervention initially piloted in Scotland and England. On this webinar, Roxanne Elliott, with FirstHealth of the Carolinas will share the importance of collaboration, implementation strategies for launching this intervention in the United States and lessons learned. She will also highlight some Bright Spots and unexpected outcomes
Many communities across the Carolinas have had success in creating built environments that promote active lifestyles, and in doing so have seen economic and fiscal benefits. In this webinar, we highlight four communities across the Carolinas that have invested in trails, sidewalks, and other bike- and pedestrian-friendly improvements and have seen economic benefits (e.g., increased tourism, higher property values, more businesses downtown, etc.). These efforts can serve as models of success for other communities in North and South Carolina, and are important steps in both the prevention of overweight and obesity and the economic future of our states.
Since 2005, the City of Spartanburg has made numerous investments in becoming more pedestrian and bike friendly, including widening sidewalks, creating new greenspaces, installing bike lanes, extending trails, and creating South Carolina’s first bike share systems, HubCycle and BCycle. The city has already seen significant economic benefits, including increases in sales in businesses downtown as well as an influx of new businesses to the city.
The City of Florence is undergoing a major downtown revitalization effort designed to create a safer, more attractive place for pedestrians. The city has improved storefronts, repaired and enhanced sidewalks, landscaped streets, and created better connectively to neighborhood trails and parks. Property values downtown have nearly tripled, and Florence has become a hot spot for private development and new business growth.
ITRE recently completed at study of the economic, health, and transportation impacts from the completion of a pedestrian bridge over I-40, which completed a critical link of the American Tobacco Trail in Durham. This presentation shares the results from launched to better understand the economic contribution of trails in North Carolina.

Active Living By Design (ALBD)’s Community Action Model (CAM) is an evidence-informed framework for catalyzing healthier communities through comprehensive and integrated strategies. More than a dozen years of successful initiatives have deepened ALBD’s understanding of the community change process and have informed the CAM, which highlights the importance of a community’s context, defines six essential practices that undergird success, and outlines a three-phase action approach. It also presents expected impacts. This webinar will cover aspects of the CAM that can be useful to community coalitions and local leaders seeking a collaborative approach to creating healthier places and to funders seeking a tested approach for local investments.
