There is no doubt that health care teams are strongest when they work together across professions. The Interprofessional Care Access Network (I-CAN) works with students throughout OHSU to help individuals and families in underserved communities lower health barriers related to social determinants of health.

This panel presentation will bring together faculty from the OHSU School of Nursing and the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, interprofessional students and community partners from the Rockwood neighborhood in the northwest section of Gresham. Hear about how they work on behalf of individual clients in the neighborhood, and what they are doing to address health inequities for underserved and BIPOC community members in the era of COVID-19.

Speakers:

·       Katherine Bradley, Ph.D., RN, is I-CAN program director, associate professor in the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, and associate professor of clinical nursing in the OHSU School of Nursing.

·       Erin Lemon, M.N., RN, is instructor of clinical nursing in the OHSU School of Nursing and faculty in residence in the Rockwood neighborhood for I-CAN.
