PUBLISHERS’ LETTER

S

ome people still say we have the best healthcare system in the world. If you live in Mount Adams or Indian Hill or work for a large corporation with extensive benefits, that may be the case. But for those in Price Hill or West Newport, many find themselves at the opposite end of the healthcare spectrum. There is a network of local organizations made up of funders and practitioners that works every day to address the myriad disparities. We spotlight two such efforts in this July issue.

Kate Schroder has returned to health care, her area of expertise, after coming up short in a bid to replace Steve Chabot in the U.S. House of Representatives. Having taken the reins of Interact for Health in January from the retiring Dr. O’dell Owens, she shared with Shauna Steigerwald her thoughts about connecting dots and filling gaps in local health care. See Page 26.

Jill Miller is president and CEO of Bethesda Inc. and its subsidiary, bi3, which funds groundbreaking initiatives in the healthcare arena.

She responded to our questions regarding how bi3 is addressing inequities in health care. See Page 28.

If you are inspired to put your skills and passion to work in the healthcare arena, see Page 30 for volunteer opportunities available via our sister organization CincinnatiCares.org.

Pianist, educator and thoughtleader Awadagin Pratt has been straying from normal his entire adult life, and it should come as no surprise that his festival, Art of the Piano, continues to evolve to reflect our times. David Lyman spoke with Pratt about how and why he is re-thinking this festival in order to re-shape the pianists entering into the professional sphere.

‘Castor and Patience’: second Cincinnati Opera premiere this summer Composer Gregory Spears has been down this road before.

In June 2016, his opera “Fellow Travelers” – composed in collaboration with librettist Greg Pierce – debuted at Cincinnati Opera. The final product was a result of a process known as Opera Fusion: New Works, a collaboration between Cincinnati Opera and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. The collaboration, funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, allows composers/librettists to hear and see early stages of their creative output performed by conservatory-level performers and to share those excerpts with the public, receiving feedback and encouragement.

Cincinnati Opera is premiering not one, but two operas this summer, both of which were birthed via Opera Fusion: New Works. “Fierce,” by composer William Menefield and librettist Sheila Williams (featured in our June magazine), premieres July 6. The other new work, “Castor and Patience,” composed by Gregory Spears to a libretto by Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. poet laureate Tracy K. Smith, opens July

21. Both are staged at the School for Creative and Performing Arts.

In “Castor and Patience,” loosely based on the confounding, mythical tale of Castor and Pollux – twin half-brothers of different mothers – the question revolves around the topic of family legacy and inheritance. According to cincinnatiopera.org, “a long overdue family reunion finds two African American cousins at odds over the fate of a historic parcel of land they have inherited in the American South. Castor is eager to sell the land to pay off his crushing debt, but Patience is determined to fight off overzealous investors and preserve her family’s legacy.”

The opera finds relevance in today’s calls for racial justice, and how the tentacles of historical obstacles to Black land ownership continue to influence circumstances today.

Spears’ unique musical language blends elements of minimalism and early music with romantic lyricism, which serves as an appropriate backdrop for this timeless tale.

The opera stars baritone Reginald Smith Jr. as Castor and soprano Talise Trevigne as Patience.

OTR International Film Festival celebrates diversity in many forms Thursday-Sunday, July 7-10, various venues The Over-the-Rhine International Film Festival presents storytelling about people who exist along the fringes of society, whether because of disability, race, gender fluidity or a combination. The stories are about overcoming physical and mental challenges, dealing with discrimination and marginalization, and our shared humanity through it all.

Billed as “the nation’s first diversity-driven film festival led by people from the diversity community,” the four-day event presents more than 25 films, in person and virtually.

This year’s venues include the Woodward Theater, the Art Academy of Cincinnati, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.

Presented by LADD (Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled), this year’s festival theme is “See the Story, Be the Story,” a call for empathy, togetherness and personal storytelling, especially for stories that usually remain untold.

Artistic Director tt stern-enzi hosts breakfast conversations Friday through Sunday mornings, 9-11, at the Art Academy’s new Site 1212 event space at 12th and Jackson streets. Films run Thursday through Saturday, with a slate of the winning films shown at noon on Sunday at the Woodward.

In addition to films, there is an opening night gala, 6-8 p.m. Thursday, and a closing night party, 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, both at Site 1212.

Passes are available for those wishing to view multiple films: • Film Fanatic: $130 – 10 feature films, virtual access to all short films, festival T-shirt, sticker, plus access to special events.

• Film Buff: $65 – Five feature films, virtual access to all short films, festival sticker, plus access to special events • Virtual: $55 – Full virtual access to all shorts and five feature films  www.otrfilmfest.org

Art of the Piano: a festival for the rest of us Awadagin Pratt seeks to change the color of the pianistic landscape

By David Lyman

“I

t’s a big shift,” said Awadagin Pratt, founder and artistic director of the Art of the Piano festival.

Specifically, he’s referring to the 2022 festival’s decision to reduce the number of pianists in its Young Artists Program in order to give each of them an opportunity to be featured more broadly.

But if you look at the history of Art of the Piano, “big shift” could have been the guiding principle from the outset. Pratt never intended his festival to be one of those headline-chasing mega-gatherings like the International Chopin Piano Competition or the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

Unlike those musical institutions, Art of the Piano has been in a state of evolution since it began. It’s not because anything was wrong or needed fixing. Rather, Pratt founded a festival that was meant to mirror its times. And in this era of music history that has called for a certain measure of fluidity, Art of the Piano was meant to grow and evolve with the music and the world around it.

The festival has a special focus on new music.

World premieres abound. But at the same time, there is something decidedly old-school about it. Pratt is fond of noting that his inspiration for the creative heart of Art of the Piano were Franz Liszt’s legendary masterclasses in the 19th Century.

On the festival’s home page, Pratt writes that his vision was to “recreate an environment where expert-level artists can work to build the profile and artistry of talented, budding players.” Liszt couldn’t have said it any better.

But it is what is not said on that home page that is even more striking.

Look through the list of the distinguished musicians who make up the festival’s faculty.

Most are between 35 and 45 years old – relatively young for this type of gathering. Even more conspicuous, though, is that they don’t look like the pianists you might find at an old-school competition or festival. They are, in every way, representative of the world around us.

“We are changing the color of the landscape,” said Pratt. He means that in every way you could possibly interpret it.

That particular goal received a major boost in January, when the Sphinx Organization awarded Pratt $100,000 for the inaugural Nina Simone Piano Competition, to be presented in summer 2023. What is most intriguing is 8

that the competition is not intended to be a free-standing event. Rather, it is being launched as a component of Art of The Piano. And it fits seamlessly into the philosophy that Pratt has spent so much of his career promoting. It is a competition for young African-American pianists and will be presented at the CollegeConservatory of Music in partnership with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

“We say we are training the next generations of superstars,” said Pratt. And it’s true that many members of past Young Artists cohorts

have been making their marks on concert stages around the world.

But Pratt wants more than that. He talks of meeting a brilliant young pianist – a Juilliard grad – he had never heard of before. For Pratt, who has a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of upand-coming pianists, it was something of a shock.

“He had been encouraged not to enter competitions,” Pratt said. Perhaps it was because he wasn’t one of those students favored by the faculty. Or possibly, it was because he wasn’t regarded as someone who could actually win a competition. Whatever the case, here was a gifted young performer who seemed destined to sit on the sidelines.

“He is one of those people who should be in competitions,” said Pratt. “If you compete, you learn so much about your abilities as a performer. And people hear you – they are exposed to you. You know, there are plenty of people who get performance opportunities that don’t win competitions.”

Pratt recalls his own experience as a student at the Peabody Institute.

“There was a black dean when I got there,” he said. “Her name was Eileen Cline and her being in that position made all the difference. There was a solid community of African American musicians there. We were supported. And we had opportunities to play other than our 15-minute jury every year. In another school, I might have been overlooked.”

He pauses a moment, then chooses his words very carefully.

“There is no part of American society that racism doesn’t permeate. Not even the great centers of education.”

Art of the Piano is unlikely to ever rival the glamor of high-profile piano events. But that has never been the point. If Pratt has his way, Art of the Piano will become a new type of showcase for music. “Inclusive?” “Color-blind?” The terms have become overused. But if this year’s festival is any indication of what is to come, Art of the Piano will become a festival for the rest of us.

Progressive, forward-thinking music.

Performers and composers who see the world through different eyes than their predecessors. A meshing of musical styles that would have been unimaginable 50 years ago.

“It’s an exciting time for musicians,” said Pratt. “But more than that, it is a time filled with opportunity.”   www.artofthepiano.org

FOCUS ON: Health Care

‘Relentless optimist’ takes on health equity Interact for Health CEO Kate Schroder grew up with ‘ethic of helping people’

By Shauna Steigerwald

T

hroughout her career in healthcare, Kate Schroder has seen “unacceptable disparities” in health equity at the global level.

But, as she points out, those disparities also exist right in our backyard. In the 20-county Greater Cincinnati region, life expectancy varies dramatically by neighborhood: The gap is up to 26 years. For example, if you live in Indian Hill, your life expectancy is the highest, at 88.2 years. In West Newport, it’s the lowest, at only 62.4 years.

“It’s staggering, and it’s unacceptable,” Schroder said. “That’s more than a quarter of a century. Think about the amount of life that you have lived, that I have lived, in the last 26 years.”

There is also a widening five-year gap in life expectancy between Black and white residents here, she said, and our overall average lifespan is about two years below the national average.

In her new role as president and CEO of Interact for Health, which she took on in January, she wants to help change all that.

“We have an endowment of around $250 million and do about $7 million a year in community grants,” she said. “That is a tremendous resource to make a difference in health and health equity in this region.”

Even so, she notes that the problems are bigger than any one organization can solve – and that’s where her skills come in.

“Really where my skills are is bringing stakeholders and partners together to solve complex problems,” she said. “How do we tackle these multifaceted, complex problems together in a way that minimizes fragmentation and maximizes the impact that we’re able to have? I (hope I) can help be a dot connector and a gap filler.”

Healthcare – and helping – in her genes Schroder’s close-knit family background helped point her down this path. Growing up in Pleasant Ridge, she was one of four children of a nurse mother and physician father. “I was raised with an ethic of helping people; that is what was valued in my house growing up,” she said.

After graduating with a political science degree from Indiana University, she first pursued a career in health policy and politics. Working 26

in the office of Sen. Evan Bayh was “a dream job at the time,” but she felt like little got done on Capitol Hill. So with an eye toward moving into the private sector, she earned her MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Back in D.C., she worked in hospital best practice research and consulting, a job she loved. But while out with friends, she heard The Clinton Health Access Initiative was hiring.

“I passed along my resume on a whim … and I was offered an opportunity to move to Zambia and open their office there,” Schroder said. “I was 29 at the time. It was amazing.”

Her two years there, opening the office, hiring local staff and establishing relationships with the government and partners, were “a lifechanging experience.” While there, she attended a funeral every week.

“People would die of so many preventable causes,” she said. “It fills you with just immeasurable gratitude and perspective. … There is such a sense of responsibility to increasingly become aware of the privileges you have.”

When she moved back to D.C., she stayed with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, helping lead and coordinate pediatric treatment programs across Africa and Southeast Asia.

During her decade doing that work, she helped reduce drug prices and increase the number of children receiving proper treatment.

In the meantime, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. During a Thanksgiving visit to Cincinnati, her oncologist father alerted her that the bumps near her clavicle read as lymphoma. Further testing confirmed the diagnosis.

“You have a ‘before’ and ‘after’ day in your life where one day changes everything,” said Schroder, who was 33 at the time. “Nothing matters but can you survive? Can you get access to the healthcare you need? Will it work on your body? You feel very vulnerable.”

Aggressive chemo made her lose her hair, go into temporary menopause and question whether she’d be able to have children.

“I worked all the way through (treatment) because what motivates and gives me energy is working and serving others and making a difference,” she said.

Her cancer sparked her desire to move back to Cincinnati, a possibility her remote work made feasible.

“You don’t know how much time you have

FOCUS ON: Health Care left, so every day you want to be around the people you love,” she said.

The following year, she married John Juech, and they moved to Cincinnati to start their family.

“Not a day goes by that I’m not grateful that I had a chance to be a parent, because I spent a lot of time not knowing if that would be possible,” said Schroder, whose two children just completed the first and third grades at Clifton Area Neighborhood School.

In 2019, she felt a strong need to step down from her job to run for Congress.

“I’m really concerned about the direction of our country,” she said. “We need more people to get involved – people who are low ego, people who are problem solvers, who bring us together instead of pulling us apart.

“We have so much more in common than we realize,” she added. “I wanted to be one voice that was putting myself out there to bring people together and solve some of these real issues.”

After her unsuccessful run, Schroder was eager to work locally. She took a short-term role at The Health Collaborative, helping coordinate the regional COVID-19 vaccine rollout.

“She did some heroic work helping the community through the pandemic,” said Craig Brammer, The Health Collaborative’s CEO. “I was blown away by how quickly Kate jumped in, wrapped her head around the problem we were trying to solve and started solving.

“Interact for Health will give Kate an opportunity to bring her passion and expertise around health equity to our community and help us collectively address some long-standing problems that affect the health status of our fellow citizens,” he said.

“I know that Kate is looking to take Interact for Health to the next level, really looking at what are they doing well and where are there opportunities to expand their work,” added Jill Miller, president and CEO of Bethesda Inc. and bi3.

Five-year plan The timing is right: Schroder joined the organization as it’s preparing its next five-year strategic plan, which should be in place by the end of the year. “I’m really excited about taking a step back and working with our partners to identify the areas where we can have the greatest impact,” she said.

Several areas are “emerging as acute needs that we have an opportunity to address,” she said.

One is youth mental health. Interact for Health has established more than 40 schoolbased health centers, Schroder said. While they

It sounds extreme, but I feel such a sense of urgency being in an organization that has resources to bring to bear. We have a moral obligation … to be at the table to help and to be a flexible, responsive partner that listens.

–Kate Schroder provide mental health care, it’s often available only two days a week and typically focuses on treatment instead of prevention, social-emotional skills and resilience, she said. So she sees an opportunity to build on that work – especially needed considering many providers have thousands of children on their wait lists, and it can take months to get in.

“That’s not acceptable when you have a child who’s contemplating suicide and you’re trying to get help,” she said.

During the last five years, Interact for Health has focused on substance use, particularly on reducing tobacco use and opioid overdoses. That will remain a priority as well, though Schroder hopes to look at substance use more broadly.

More work is needed More work is certainly needed: Although our region’s overdose rate has declined 14% in the last three years, it’s still more than twice the national average, she said.

“We really see our mission to advance health equity and be the voice of health equity for this region … and in some of these specific areas, like youth mental health and substance use, to really go deep,” she said.

“To tackle a lot of these problems, there’s a lot of interrelatedness,” she added. “So we don’t want to be too narrow in focus.”

For example, the organization wants to help understand and solve underlying health-related social needs, including housing, food insecurity and transportation, that contribute to our region’s lower lifespan and lifespan gap.

“The research shows us that your lifespan and your overall health is only 20 percent driven by clinical healthcare, like the doctor you see and the medicines you take,” she said. “Eighty percent is influenced by the environment you live in – the socioeconomic factors, your healthy behaviors and the physical environment. … So when we’re trying to improve overall health and lifespan and close gaps, you have to think of it from that broader lens, too.”

A self-described “data nerd,” Schroder loves what objective information does to help “turn down the temperature and bring consensus” by creating a common understanding of the problem and taking ego out of the equation.

“These problems are huge and complex, and there’s a role for everybody,” she said.

But her global healthcare experience also reminds her that data is more than just numbers.

“Personally witnessing so much preventable death has an impact on you,” she said. “It makes you realize that behind the numbers we look at, that is a person’s life. That is a mother; that is a father; that is somebody’s sister or brother. …

The more we delay, the more lives that are lost.

“It sounds extreme, but I feel such a sense of urgency being in an organization that has resources to bring to bear. We have a moral obligation … to be at the table to help and to be a flexible, responsive partner that listens.”

That last part is critical because those closest to the problem know it best, she said.

“We listen to the members of the community and empower them to help solve these problems rather than coming in with a top-down approach,” she said. “(We want to) allow an environment in which solutions can bubble up.

And that dialogue is ongoing.”

Through it all, Schroder remains a “relentless optimist.”

“Even though our community faces a lot of challenges and obstacles, she always has a positive mindset in terms of what can be done,” Miller said.

“The problems are complex, but just because we can’t fix everything doesn’t mean that we can’t do something,” Schroder said. “Any of us could die tomorrow. So just use this day and give it your best. Make a difference with this day.”

For her part, Schroder knows how she wants to make a difference. 

FOCUS ON: Health Care

Working for health equity Bethesda Inc. CEO invests in reducing barriers to care

Y

ou can’t have a conversation in Greater Cincinnati about health equity without including bi3, a philanthropic initiative created

by Jill Miller, president and CEO of Bethesda Inc., the nonprofit foundation partner of TriHealth, one of the region’s largest health care providers. bi3 has invested $64 million in TriHealth and community-based organizations, and in June announced another round of $4.6 million in investments (see next page).

Before joining Bethesda, Miller co-founded Cincinnati Red Joey Votto’s public foundation.

She holds a business economics degree from Ohio’s Miami University and MBA from Xavier University. She is a 2016 YWCA Rising Star, a member of Leadership Cincinnati Class 39 and the Business Courier’s 2016 Forty Under 40 class. She recently received the Medical Mutual Pillar Award for Community Service for chairing the COVID-19 Regional Response Funders Collaborative.

Miller talked with Movers & Makers about health equity in Greater Cincinnati: What is health equity?

Health equity is when every person has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible.

Unfortunately, this is not the case today.

For example, when I was pregnant, I benefited from the privilege of easily driving to my obstetric appointments, readily accessing healthy foods, sleeping well at night in my safe home and trusting my clinical team to provide the quality and safe care I deserved. A Black woman I met who lives 12 miles from my home had a very different experience. She relied on a bus to get her to her prenatal appointments, had no access to healthy food and lay awake at night worrying about an electrical issue in her apartment that her landlord would not fix. She also feared her voice would not be heard and she would face discrimination when she delivered her baby.

Many factors outside of a person’s control, such as discrimination and lack of access to resources, can prevent them from achieving their best health. As a community, we must come together in new ways to remove barriers that stand in the way of good health. bi3 – a philanthropic initiative to transform health – is prioritizing health equity, adopting its definition from Health Affairs, the nation’s leading journal of health policy thought and 28

research: “Health equity is an outcome and a process. Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. This requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty, discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and health care.”

Lack of access to these resources results in health disparities – differences in health status based on race, ethnicity, education, income or disability status. Why should everyone care about health disparities?

Health is a human right. But is it right that refugees struggle to access our complex healthcare system? Is it right for children to wait six months to a year to receive behavioral health services? Is it right that your ZIP code is a greater predictor of your health and life expectancy than your genetic code? Mount Adams residents can expect to live up to 25 years longer than their neighbors in Price Hill, just 5 miles away.

Additionally, everyone pays the price for poor health. The United States spends the most on healthcare, yet we have worse health outcomes than other modernized countries worldwide.

According to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, racial health disparities result in about $93 billion in excess medical care costs and $42 billion in lost productivity each year. How is bi3 working to reduce health disparities?

We are leading the way to a day when every person has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible by making philanthropic investments to advance innovation and fuel initiatives to reduce barriers and health disparities.

First, we are leveraging our strategic partnership with TriHealth. We are investing $5 million to accelerate efforts to build a more equitable and inclusive healthcare culture and to measurably address health disparities, including training 12,000 TriHealth team members on implicit bias. bi3 also invested $7 million to create and help endow TriHealth’s School to Work Program that inspires minority students from Cincinnati Public Schools to pursue a career in healthcare in order to build a more diverse healthcare workforce that mirrors the community in which

it serves. We’ve seen all participants graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education, as well as several awarded scholarships in our first two years.

We also move beyond clinical walls, listening to and partnering with our community to address health disparities. For almost a decade, we have been fueling collective efforts to address the Black infant death crisis in Hamilton County, including developing a new model of care that surrounds women with the support they need to have a healthy pregnancy. In 2020, our partner Cradle Cincinnati announced the lowest infant mortality rate for white and Black babies on record and noted that the number of Black preterm birth-related infant deaths has fallen by one-third of what it was seven years ago. I am proud to say hundreds of babies are alive today because of that ongoing work.

The key to success is listening to those with lived experience and engaging with them to develop new solutions to address deep-seated community health issues. We see this practice as we lean into Cradle Cincinnati’s Queens Village to create an idea for advancing equitable and quality healthcare for Black moms-to-be. What can someone do to contribute to building health equity in our community?

Racism and discrimination are the root causes that exacerbate health disparities. I invite you to join me in conversations around racial

equity. Read a book such as Mel Gravely’s “Dear White Friend.”

Sign up to attend the Groundwater or Phase 1 sessions of Greater Cincinnati Foundation’s Racial Equity Matters Series, presented by bi3 and free to the public. You can find the schedule of events (at gcfdn. org/rem/). I can honestly say that attending both sessions changed my life perspective and propelled my racial equity journey.

We face many health challenges and disparities, but I believe in our community.

We are home to leading healthcare systems, corporations and community-based organizations with a heart and desire to build a healthy community where all people achieve their best health. Let’s connect hearts and minds and get to work. 

ix organizations that focus on serving Black and communities of color and individuals with lower incomes or disabilities will receive more than $4.6 million in bi3’s health equity grant competition. The recipients are:  $580,000 to The Health Collaborative in partnership with Cradle Cincinnati to support the development, implementation and initial evaluation of Mama Certified, a program developed by Cradle Cincinnati’s Queens Village to improve maternal care for Black parents-to-be. The program will help parents assess birthing centers and ensure babies of color receive equitable care.  $695,000 to Lighthouse Youth Services to develop the Lighthouse Clinic, which will expand mental health services by providing in-house psychiatric care to youth under age 24 who face barriers to access.  $1.5 Million to Women Helping Women to support their Rise Beyond Violence campaign. Funding from bi3 will help scale school-based prevention programming in Cincinnati Public Schools and the Domestic Violence Enhanced Response Team to all 49 police jurisdictions in

Hamilton County as well as expand organizational capacity and technology.  $1.5 Million to Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky Behavioral Health to support its Expanding Mental Health Services in a Pandemic Climate Campaign. bi3 funding will contribute to the expansion of CHNK’s mental health and family preservation services by 55%. CHNK currently partners with 16 school districts with increasing demand and is pursuing public-private funding partnerships to support the initiative.  $100,000 to Mental Health and Addiction Advocacy Coalition to support Racial Equity and Behavioral Health Research, Analysis and Reporting, which will fill a significant gap in knowledge around mental health equity. Partners will gather and analyze statewide data and make recommendations to improve policy.  $300,000 to Refugee Connect to expand its Health Navigator Program, connecting refugee and immigrant families to a local cultural leader with native language skills to address health-related needs and help them navigate the healthcare system. 

SVDP raises $576K honoring Marek, Mueller Cincinnati’s Society of St. Vincent de Paul honored Sherie Marek and Linda Mueller at its seventh annual Celebration of Service event, held at Anderson Pavilion and Carol Ann’s Carousel at The Banks. This year’s event generated $576,000, a record amount of support.

Nearly 300 guests gathered to celebrate Marek and Mueller’s longtime involvement with SVDP. In addition to their annual support, Marek and Mueller were both instrumental to the success of SVDP’s Upward Spiral Comprehensive Campaign, which helped drastically expand access to programs and services through the construction of the Don & Phyllis Neyer Outreach Center. The opening of that facility in 2019 ensured SVDP could offer services concurrently, six days per week.

Support generated through Celebration of Service comes at an especially crucial time. Last year, SVDP distributed more than $2.5 million in rental assistance and $965,000 in utility assistance, an increase of 66% from the previous year. Platinum sponsor of this year’s event was Protective Life Corporation.  www.svdpcincinnati.org

THE LAST WORD | Guest editorial by Polly Campbell

Blood is life: Donating is easy way to share a miracle

B

lood is one of the most potent words in the language. We refer to it to talk about family and temperament, about race, about violence and war and disease.

But the strongest metaphor is not really a metaphor at all. Blood is life.

This was impressed on me memorably years ago, when my children were little. They came with me to a doctor’s appointment during which some of my blood was taken for testing. The nurse or phlebotomist who had taken it showed the sealed vial to my wide-eyed girls.

“Look how beautiful it is,” she said. “How deep and rich the red is.”

She let them touch the vial to feel the warmth. “That’s the stuff that circulates in your veins and keeps you alive,” she told them. She said she wanted people to think of blood as not just scary, but as a miraculous, vital part of our body.

I think that moment she took to show them that vial is a reason I’m a

regular blood donor.

Outside the body, blood is a bright red warning sign. Inside the body, it circulates and warms the body, it heals and regenerates. Its pulse, along with breath, is the presence of life.

To share your blood with another person is a deeply meaningful act.

That your own blood can be transferred to another body to keep that other body alive or healthy is amazing, and the fact that people do it willingly, for other people they don’t even know, well, I find that quite moving. It invisibly binds us together in community.

I figure giving blood has the most favorable ratio of effort to effect of any normal do-gooding activity. A tiny bit of pain and some effort from the donor means a huge benefit to the receiver. With an hour and some free cookies, you could save someone’s life. That’s a lot easier than running into a burning building or diving into the flood waters.

When I was busy working and raising a family I didn’t do a lot to offer help to my fellow human beings.

Giving blood on a fairly regular basis seemed, literally, the least I could do.

It’s been my baseline of altruism. I can’t say I’ve ever exactly looked forward to it, but it’s just not that hard.

The worst thing is one prick as the needle goes in. Then you just lie there and chat with the nice people who work at any Hoxworth Blood Center.

I wish more people donated.

Hoxworth, Greater Cincinnati’s blood bank, always needs more donors, and particularly a more diverse bunch, including more young people and more minorities.

Fear of the needle is what keeps people from donating. I was surprised at how few people donate. First, only 30% of the population is actually eligible, what with the restrictions they use to keep the supply safe. But of the 30% that could, only 10% do.

Most of them are from my demographic: Baby Boomers. But we’re aging and more likely to have restrictions on our blood, with more time to develop health problems and to need medications on the do-not-donate list.

It’s time for younger people to step up. Enticing them is the big topic among blood banks across the country, Jackie Marschall, public information officer for Hoxworth, told me. So there are more rewards and premiums and incentives than there used to be.

Also, they’d like more minorities to donate. And that’s an interesting story.

At the beginning of blood banking in the 1940’s (a system developed by Charles Drew, a Black man), blood was often separated by race, or – in the case of the U.S. military during World War II – simply not accepted from Black donors. Everyone knew there was no scientific reason for this, they were just pandering to some white people’s racist reluctance to get “black blood.” (Drew, the nation’s top expert on blood banking, resigned as head of the National Blood Bank because of the military’s decision.)

Black and white people can of

course exchange blood, if their types match. But beyond the well-known ABO typing system, there are hundreds of blood types based on the presence of different antigens, some very rare, like U negative or Duffy negative. These are heritable, so are associated with racial or ethnic groups.

Some patients, especially those who get repeated infusions, need to receive an exactly matched blood type, down to these rare variations.

Kids with sickle cell anemia, who are most likely Black, and who often get many transfusions over their lifetime, need particular blood types that are most likely found in Black donors.

More recently, there’s been controversy about not accepting blood from gay men, a restriction put in place by the FDA during the AIDS epidemic.

Many people feel the screening questionnaire should be reworded to more accurately screen for behavior related to HIV transmission. Hoxworth advocates for new screening criteria, based on what’s used in Canada and England. You can sign a petition to the FDA at a donation center.

Maybe donating should be its own reward. But last time I gave, I got a $50 gift certificate to Lowe’s, which I used to buy begonias for my hanging baskets. I told the cashier how I’d gotten the gift certificate, and she said her grandmother had gotten two blood transfusions the week before.

Who knows, maybe she got some component of mine.

Beautiful all around. 
