The Birth of Grapevine Health The COVID pandemic has taught the
world many things, but one of the most crucial is the need to
communicate tailored health information through trusted messengers
effectively. The Birth of Grapevine Health chronicles the
experiences of one physician, Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick, a CDC-trained
medical epidemiologist, on a mission to deliver trusted health
information to the black community and why she started Grapevine
Health, a community and health outreach organization that aims to
improve patient engagement and health literacy in underserved
communities through the digital delivery of tailored health
messages. Fitzpatrick reveals why she began building an
organization that, in 2020, appeared tailored for the Covid 19
pandemic long before that crisis unfolded across the globe.
Frustrated by the lack of progress in addressing health inequity,
Dr. Lisa moved into an under-resourced community to become proximal
enough to better understand health inequity and the structural and
policy changes needed to address it. She weaves her professional
experiences with storytelling and lessons learned into a call to
action for healthcare leaders, decisionmakers and funders to move
beyond data collection and shift toward action to focus on health
prevention, move our health support further upstream and
ultimately, improve health outcomes for underserved communities.
The Birth of Grapevine Health is part memoir, part health equity
playbook and offers a roadmap to actions needed to achieve health
equity. At a time when health equity conversations seem ubiquitous,
what sets the Birth of Grapevine Health apart is its embrace and
integration of community voice. This book delivers deep insights
and, at times, uncomfortable advice through the eyes of black and
brown patients and their communities about what it will take to
achieve health equity.
