SUMMARY:United Hands: Health Equity Listening Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The Health Equity Listening Sessions will be a full-day\, community-centered engagement event designed to bring together Deaf\, DeafBlind\, Late-Deafened\, Hard of Hearing\, and other individuals with communication access needs to share their lived experiences directly with representatives from the New York State Department of Health\, state and local government agencies\, healthcare organizations\, managed care plans\, and community partners. The purpose of the event is to identify barriers to equitable healthcare access\, gather community-driven recommendations\, and strengthen collaboration between policymakers\, healthcare leaders\, and the communities they serve. Rather than a traditional conference\, the event is designed as an interactive listening and co-design experience where government agencies listen first and community members lead the conversation \nMission: United Hands Organization (UHO) is an ASL-led nonprofit building accessible systems through universal design\, communication access\, workforce development\, and integrated care. We partner with healthcare providers\, government agencies\, employers\, and community organizations to eliminate communication barriers and improve equitable access to health\, social\, employment\, and community services for Deaf\, DeafBlind\, Hard of Hearing\, Limited English Proficient (LEP)\, and other underserved communities. By combining lived experience\, innovation\, technology\, and trusted community partnerships\, we transform fragmented services into inclusive\, person-centered solutions that improve outcomes for everyone.

SUMMARY:Don't Look Away: Film Screening & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker and a workshop about coming to terms with a facial difference.  All are welcome!\nSynopsis: Born with a rare condition requiring over 50 cranial reconstructive surgeries\, 36-year-old Corey searches for normalcy\, love\, and acceptance in a swipe-left\, swipe-right world. The film explores how his looks affect his ability to live a “normal life” and challenges viewers to question who misses out when we reject those who look different. \nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/1002820186 \nWhat’s next for the film: https://www.documentaries.org/films/dont-look-away/ \nAbout the filmmaker: Joseph V. Lingad started his career as a camera assistant on TV shows\, commercials\, and narrative films in 2008. He got his break in journalism in 2011 when he was hired as a videographer and editor by The Wall Street Journal. He worked with its sister companies\, MarketWatch and Barron’s\, as a video journalist for six years\, developing various news stories from income inequality to the student loan crisis to America’s epidemic of loneliness.  Joseph gravitates to stories about social and socioeconomic issues and corporate accountability. \nAfter over a decade working in a newsroom\, Joseph returned to school in 2022 to obtain a master’s in business and economics reporting\, specializing in documentary. While at school\, Joseph developed a short version of “Don’t Look Away” as his Capstone project under the guidance of award-winning filmmakers Yoruba Richen\, Judith Helfand\, Sabrina Gordon\, and others.Joseph is now working on his first feature-length documentary\, “Don’t Look Away\,” which includes his story of his struggle living with a facial difference. Unlike the short version\, the full-length documentary is about how a community helps each other come to terms with their facial difference in a society that is sometimes hostile to those who look different. He hopes to have a final cut by 2028.
