“Community paramedics bring the right care to patients at the right location — their homes, where patients want to be. Paramedics love what they do, and this program not only enhances their clinical skills, it educates them on topics like disease management, behavioral health and substance abuse, including the care and community resources that can keep patients out of the hospital. It’s good for patients, it’s good for the healthcare system and it’s good for the paramedics, who get to know their patients and provide the kind of care that will improve their lives over the long term. This is the wave of the future and how we will care for patients moving forward.”- Amanda M. Williams RRT, BSRT, MBA, NRP, CP-C, CMTE, Director Mobile Integrated Health, Mobile Medicine, Atrium Health Community Paramedicine is a rapidly expanding field.

We asked our community how long it took to receive their diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, aka ME/CFS). The answers came in quickly and almost every one was measured in years- not months. And these are those able to get a diagnosis. It has been estimated that around 90% are undiagnosed (NAM report). We are working hard to change that scenario for all those who are yet to be diagnosed and those who are diagnosed but need knowledgeable care. #MEAction’s annual #MillionsMissing campaign has a theme of Teach M.E. Treat M.E. this year. Learn more at millionsmissing.org. #TeachMETreatME is a campaign to educate hospital systems and medical schools about ME/CFS. It is also an effort to encourage your own clinicians to learn more about ME by taking a free continuing medical education (CME) course co-authored by MEAction’s Jaime Seltzer and Mayo Rochester clinicians. It is a Concise Clinical Review so while thorough, it is meant to be done in a manageable time frame. We need your help! Can you please write to your clinicians (via email or message through your portal) and ask them to take the CME? We offer sample language: https://lnkd.in/ebARUZ33 *Please note: The text starts to move fast as the video goes on. #pwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #LongCovid #MedEd #CME #chronicIllness Video description: Background of a black screen with name, years to diagnosis, and the country the person lives in show on the screen in white lettering. They change and get faster and faster as they go. At the end the text switches to what those years meant- years of waiting, being gaslit, etc.

At Hamberley Neurocare, we know every individual's journey is unique, and so are their rehabilitation goals. For some, neurorehabilitation means reacquiring daily living skills to return to independent living. For others, it’s about preserving existing skills and managing the impact of progressive conditions. We aim to enable residents to live as independently as possible by reducing the impact of their symptoms through specialist nursing care, therapeutic interventions, lifestyle adaptations, and support. 🩺🧩🏡 Learn more about our approach: https://lnkd.in/eD7Qbj4s
