HOLIDAYS AND CELEBRATIONS IN JULY
Canada Day - A federal statutory holiday that celebrates the anniversary of Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of the British North America Act, 1867 where the three separate colonies of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united into a single Dominion within the British Empire called Canada.

The Fourth of July- also known as Independence Day or July 4th—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. This month, Independence Day was celebrated on Monday, July 4, 2022. Learn more here.

Aligning California: Maximizing Opportunities to Advance Local Community-Led Networks

California is leading the nation in community health and systems change innovation. Recent local and state policy proposals prioritize funding to support data-sharing infrastructure, with an emphasis on technology-enabled person-centered care models. The Community Information Exchange (CIE) model can be used to design systems that meet the needs of Medicaid recipients and other vulnerable populations while prioritizing local community governance.

We’re bringing together CIE organizations and other stakeholders from across California to explore how we can leverage the CIE to achieve systems change and prepare for future funding opportunities that support community health.
