Season 1 Update
<p>Thank you for listening to Health in the Margins, a special series hosted by Tinu Abayomi-Paul that explores topics in minority health and healthcare through conversations with experts and community members. The first series touches on food, fitness, and language through the lens of diversity, and uncovers solutions and opportunities to increase access to care for all communities. </p><p> </p><p>We learn how cultural awareness in fitness and wellness programs can improve the health of a community. We discover that proper cultural translation is critical to addressing the language disconnect that impacts healthcare and health education. And we get a chance to speak to inspiring advocates who are creating mission-driven food markets to increase access to healthy foods in low-income communities. </p><p> </p><p>There’s far more to be explored and more inspiring stories to tell. For now, Health in the Margins is taking a hiatus as the team explores more stories and solutions, and we’re looking forward to sharing more with you soon. In the meantime, be sure to follow Tinu on Twitter, @tinu, and on Instagram at @asktinu.</p><p> </p><p>For more, empowering content to support the health of you, your loved ones, and your communities, visit <a href="http://empoweredus.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">empoweredus.org</a> to check out our other podcasts and projects. </p><p> </p><p>Empowered Us is a storytelling and resource hub led by Good Days, a national nonprofit that lifts the burdens of chronic illness through assistance, advocacy, and awareness.

Access to Healthy Food and Mission-Driven Markets
<p>In this episode, Tinu speaks with Ben Perkins, the Director of the Board for Wholesome Wave and Philip Sambol, Executive Director of Oasis Community Partners. Together, they discuss the impact of healthy food access, how to create mission-driven markets in low-income communities, and the importance of democratizing wellness. </p><br><p>“When engaging in communities, we have to have fidelity to those communities. What does fidelity mean? It means being in an authentic relationship with the community so that whatever solution is created is a co-creation, not the old model of experts coming in, swooping in, and telling communities what they need, that ultimately the community has to be part of the solution. And that is foundational.” - Ben Perkins </p><p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"> </span></p><h3><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">Timestamps</span></h3><ul><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">02:16 Ben and Philip’s 3 aspects that make up their identities </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">05:07 What is a food desert </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">09:59 The impact of community grocery stores </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">12:47 What is food insecurity and how does it happen in low-income communities </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">16:22 How do institutions facilitate better solutions to nutrition insecurity in lower income communities </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">19:25 How can small grocery stores operate in a way that is beneficial to consumers and the business </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">27:00 Impacts of a lack of healthy food options in low-income communities </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">29:24 Solutions that are available, and need in the future, to alleviate food access issues </span></li></ul><br/><h3><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">Takeaway Learnings</span></h3><p>1) Large grocery store chains are not profitable in certain areas, which can create a lack of access to healthy foods in these neighborhoods. To combat this, smaller grocery stores can function in these regions by being large enough to support full, fresh food access, while being small enough to be run by a local team. Grocery stores like these, including <a href="https://www.goodfoodmarkets.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Good Food Markets</a>, thrive by being mission driven. </p><p>2) Poor nutrition is one of the leading causes of sickness in the United States. On top of it creating preventable health issues, it also depresses the earning power of these communities and reduces opportunities for success in educational settings. </p><p>3) The most effective way to ensure communities embrace nutritious food, and a healthy lifestyle, is by democratizing wellness, which allows people to reclaim their autonomy and sovereignty over their own communities, bodies, and health choices through creating community ownership. </p><p>4) Finding a solution for food access takes time and flexibility. It requires patience and a willingness to invest in a long-term model. The goal is to reduce downstream cost of health issues by investing in upstream solutions. </p><p><br></p><h3>Actionable Tips</h3><p>1) If you are interested in introducing health education and nutritional access to a community through a grocery store, or otherwise, consider partnering with community groups to bring events and programs to meet people where they are. Social impact and financial sustainability are equally as important for nutrition access ventures. </p><p>2) If you are a local leader, or government official, examine neighborhoods where fresh food access may be minimal. Call in community members, local businesses, and philanthropies to support nutrition access and education. </p><br/><h3><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">About Ben Perkins and Philip Sambol </span></h3><p>Ben Perkins is the Director of the Board for Wholesome Wave. Wholesome Wave is a nonprofit organization that combats food and nutrition insecurity across the country by partnering with local organizations to co-design culturally competent programs. </p><p>Philip Sambol is Executive Director of Oasis Community Partners, a DC-based nonprofit dedicated to improving food access and community health. Oasis operates the Good Food Markets social enterprise grocery store chain in the DC area. Good Food Market is a mission-driven business committed to developing retail solutions that work for food desert communities, while addressing food access, economic, and health disparities. Good Food Markets is one of the organizations that Wholesome Wave has partnered with in the DC area. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

How to Improve Healthcare Access through Proper Language Translation
<p>In this episode, Tinu speaks with professional translator, Rafa Lombardino. Together, they <span style="color: rgb(48, 48, 48);">discuss the importance of having quality translations of medical documents, what quality translation is, and </span>how language accessibility is a part of the accessibility needs of the American healthcare system. </p><br><p><strong>“</strong>You can't just copy and paste and look up words in the dictionary because there's culture, there's a whole context... And when you're talking about health documents, something that it's really a matter of life or death, you do have to take a responsibility and have accountability for the message that you're giving to a target audience that doesn't speak the original language.” - Rafa Lombardino </p><p><br></p><h3>Timestamps</h3><ul><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">03:02 Rafa’s three identities and how they relate to her work as a disability and diversity advocate </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">04:51 The difference between translation and interpretation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">05:48 The challenges of translating English to other languages </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">09:23 The difficulty of translating medical documents for transgender and nonbinary patients </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">10:46 Why Google translate is not always the best option </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">14:32 How punctuation is a factor in translation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">14:50 The importance of incorporating culture in translation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">16:27 Ways the medical field can improve translation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">19:23 Examples of how improper translation can cause problems </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">21:04 Why it is important to have translation options for patients </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">22:33 Why the method of translation is important (written versus verbal) </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">23:59 Common problems with medical documents and translation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">26:04 What are the components of high-quality medical translation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">30:22 Rafa’s pet peeves about medical translation </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">35:23 Why bilingual people are not always good translators </span></li><li><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">38:03 Rafa’s hope for the future of healthcare </span></li></ul><br/><h3><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">Takeaway Learnings</span></h3><p>1) Translation and interpretation are different skill sets. Rafa, as a translator, focuses on written and audio/visual materials. Interpreters focus on verbal communication. </p><p>2) Translation is more than translating one word into another. It's about finding the best solution to fit the message as well as taking responsibility and accountability for your target audience. </p><p>3) The cultural and social aspects of documents are often not considered when translating and this is a huge problem. For example, the standard American formatting practice on forms are not necessarily applicable to people of other countries and cultures. </p><h3>Actionable Tips</h3><p>1) If you are a medical provider, take note of who your target audience is when getting documents translated into other languages. Oftentimes even a general language is too broad. What is the country you are targeting, or the gender? The more specific, the better translation. </p><p>2) If you are considering translating consent forms for your medical practice, account for the time it takes to prepare quality translation. Remember, this process requires a large amount of care and consideration for the language and the culture being addressed and is not typically a quick process. </p><p>3) If you are a patient who would like to see an increase in translation of medical documents, ask your provider if they work with a language or inclusion department. If patients express the desire, hospitals and other medical spaces may be willing to provide additional resources. </p><br/><h3><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">About Rafa Lombardino </span></h3><p class="ql-align-justify"><a href="http://rafalombardino.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);"><strong>Rafa Lombardino</strong></a> was born in Brazil and has been living in California since 2002.
