Good article on the incredible financial burden of caring for seniors who (increasingly) want to age-at-home... some interesting data: - 77% of Americans 50+ want to live as long as possible in their current home - the cost of home health aids has skyrocketed in recent years with round the-clock in-home care costing $290,000 annually on average - only 10% of seniors have long-term-care insurance - the care burden falls disproportionately on women as I (through my mother) and countless others have witnessed firsthand It's against this backdrop that we're proud to support Jukebox Health and their mission to make aging-in-place: easier, more affordable, and more commonplace.

Gynecology on LinkedIn? Yes, we’re going there! Why?  1️⃣ Because maternal health includes “in-between” and preventative care, along with pregnancy care. 2️⃣ We heard from our birthing patients that they wanted to stay in our care beyond pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. So over the past year, we’ve been offering annual wellness visits and gynecological services exclusively for them.   3️⃣ More than half of people who haven’t given birth say they intend to use their current OBGYN for future deliveries* 4️⃣ We are redesigning maternity care from the ground up - which includes delivering comprehensive support for patients before, during and after pregnancy. 🌟 As of today 🌟, Oula is expanding our gynecological offering for new patients regardless if you’ve given birth with us. From annual wellness visits, to virtual counseling, to immediate in-person care, our multidisciplinary team of midwives and OBGYNs will support patients through every aspect of their health journeys. Oula providers prioritize personal preferences, cultural competency, and a non-judgmental approach to care, ensuring a supportive and inclusive experience for all. Come see us for judgment-free Gynecology, covered by insurance. We’ll focus on your reproductive health while prioritizing all your parts - not just the ones down there 😉.  Learn more at the link below. #WomensHealth #Gynecology #Oula #Oulahealth *Advisory Board - 2019 Women's Service Line Market Trends report https://lnkd.in/g89Zn3SM
