"Talking about your health with others can be an important form of social support and can help you achieve positive health outcomes." We agree! As an Age-Friendly approach, we offer tools such as MyHealthPriorities.org, which helps older adults and their families identify what matters to them, especially when faced with many complex health conditions. Sharing these health priorities with family, friends, care partners, and your healthcare team is an important step to aligning care with what matters most. Read more about Age-Friendly Care and What Matters Most in this post from The John A. Hartford Foundation. #AgeFriendly #OlderAmericansMonth #geriatrics #patientcenteredcare

There is also a strong case to be made for placing #PublicSafety on the same continuum ( #Healthcare <--> #PublicHealth <--> Public Safety), ESPECIALLY as we continue opening a Big Tent to incorporate mental and behavioral health in the health care / public health dialogue. The tragic reality is, like few other practices *in our world,* it takes JUST SECONDS for an adverse public safety encounter to become a lethal encounter. There is plenty of public safety that doesn't overlap with public health or healthcare per se. But someone who is unable to respond or obey -- for a range of reasons, from disability (e.g., autism, schizophrenia, many other etiologies) to biochemical impairment (i.e., people stroking or hypoglycemic have of course been mistaken for being under the influence) -- might NOT be a threat. The public safety side of our community WANTS to be better informed re: critical clinical context, but their policies, procedures, and technical means of accessing such data have not yet caught up. The ability is coming fast and finally -- this is something I've been honored to be deeply involved in at the regional, state, and even interstate levels. Complex patients, who live at the synapse of healthcare, public health, and public safety, are a poignantly vulnerable population when it comes to #DisasterPreparedness. Therefore, they are DEFINITELY a discussion topic in major metros like those where Brendan G. Carr, MD, MA, MS has had (and is having) a tremendously empathetic impact, including #NewYork, #Philadelphia, #DC, and more.

It's remarkable to see how the pandemic has reshaped our understanding of the intersection between public health and #healthcare. We delved into the critical importance of seamless collaboration between these sectors. Our conversation highlighted how, in an ideal world, the public might not distinguish between public health efforts and health care services. For instance, in managing infectious diseases like measles and syphilis, health care providers diagnose individual cases, while public health teams conduct contact tracing and community education. This dynamic interplay ensures comprehensive disease management and community protection. #AspenIdeasHealth #AspenIdeas #WeFindAWay

The best healthcare systems are HEALTH systems. Strong partnerships with public health are vital to sustaining that focus.

March 15 is International Long COVID Awareness Day. Long Covid is a multi-systemic disease, damaging organs, neurological, GI, and vascular systems alongside AIDS-like immune dysregulation with research pointing to SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence as the leading cause. In 2023 it was estimated that at least 65 million people worldwide continue to suffer from Long Covid. Despite these horrific reports, there are no approved effective antiviral treatments for Long Covid to stop SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence. https://lnkd.in/dNUvmJi9
March 15 is International Long COVID Awareness Day. Long COVID is an infection-associated chronic condition that remains a serious public health concern as people across the U.S. continue to newly develop symptoms. CDC and other federal agencies are actively working to address the long-term impact of Long COVID by supporting ongoing clinician efforts and partnering with state and local jurisdictions to share information and inform public health action and policy, thus enabling them to better serve their local populations. Read the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report on these efforts: https://bit.ly/3TDkAZf
