OUR LEARNING SERIES & RESOURCE GUIDES

bi3, a philanthropic initiative to transform health in Greater Cincinnati, takes informed risks and challenges providers and community-based organizations to think differently about health and health care. Investments in collaborative programs have sparked systems change and improvements in health.

Below are some of our learnings:


Leveraging Advocacy to Transform Health – 2023

In 2021, bi3 and Groundwork Ohio, a nonpartisan advocacy organization, partnered to pursue policy change that would improve the health of Ohio mothers and young children. The primary goal: Advocate for the extension of Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to one year following birth. This policy change was successfully included in Ohio’s FY 2022-2023 appropriations bill and implemented by Ohio Medicaid in April 2022. It is estimated 21,000 new moms will benefit from this extended coverage annually. This paper captures the environment, key drivers, activities and lessons from this successful effort. We believe these lessons will be of value to other philanthropic organizations and their partners seeking to create policy and systems change for their communities.
