November is Diabetes Awareness Month! This month, we focus on raising awareness about diabetes and its impact on individuals and communities. Community-based providers, including #CHWs and promotores, play a crucial role in educating and supporting those affected by diabetes, helping them access essential resources and navigate their care. Together, we can shine a light on the importance of early detection, education, and prevention strategies to combat diabetes in underserved communities. #PearSuite #HealthEquity #DiabetesAwareness

🎃 Happy Halloween from Pear Suite! 🎃 This spooky season, we’re reminded that navigating the healthcare system can sometimes feel like being lost in a haunted house 👻—especially for those facing social challenges like food insecurity, housing instability, or language barriers. That’s where community-based providers step in, lighting the way! 🕯️ This #Halloween, we want to give a shoutout to Community Health Workers (#CHWs), #Promotores, and other providers who help communities find the resources they need to live healthier lives. 🧡 #HealthEquity

As we wrap up Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s a vital time to reflect on the importance of education and early detection in the fight against breast cancer.

Let’s continue to raise awareness and support for breast cancer prevention beyond October, honoring the collective efforts that make a difference in the lives of those affected. 💖 #BreastCancerAwareness #CHWs #HealthEquity #PearSuite

The hub model is gaining momentum across the country, including in California where groups of community-based organizations (CBOs) are collaborating to increase impact. Pear Suite's California hub now includes over 800 community health workers (CHWs), case managers, doulas, and other providers working to support Medi-Cal members. Take a look at California Health Care Foundation's newest report on Medi-Cal Community Care Hubs (https://lnkd.in/gU9g22kN), which features Pear Suite and many other local hubs that are powered by Pear Suite's software.
