In this episode, 'A Conversation About the Intersections of Policy and Philanthropy,' Cara V. James, PhD, President and CEO of Grantmakers in Health (GIH), joins Michelle to explore key topics like rural health funding challenges and the critical conversations shaping health policy.

Before joining GIH in 2020, James served as Director of the Office of Minority Health at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the US Department of Health and Human Services, where she provided leadership, vision, and direction to advance health equity. Under her guidance, CMS developed its first CMS Equity Plan to Improve Quality in Medicare, its first Rural Health Strategy, created an ongoing initiative to help individuals understand their coverage and connect to care, increased the collection and reporting of demographic data, and developed numerous tools and resources to advance health equity.

In this conversation, Michelle and Cara talk candidly about how philanthropy can address health disparities, especially in rural communities, and the impact of government policies on nonprofit funding, emphasizing community engagement and leadership in advancing health equity.

The conversation highlights the need for a collaborative approach to improve healthcare access and population health, stressing the importance of systemic change and the freedom to give, encouraging listeners to consider how they can support these efforts.
