As 2023 comes to an end, we take a look at all our accomplishments. While teachers are known for their selflessness and care toward their students, it is equally crucial for them to take care of their own health and well-being. In this blog, we explore ways educators can focus on themselves and ensure their well-being while expressing our gratitude for their outstanding work this year.

Congratulations Center for Children's Advocacy and Yale New Haven Hospital for being honored by the Connecticut Hospital Association for your Medical-Legal Partnership team! Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) are an innovative approach to delivering legal services by integrating legal expertise into healthcare settings. These partnerships address the social determinants of health, such as housing, access to benefits, and domestic violence, by providing patients with legal assistance alongside medical care. By identifying and addressing legal issues that impact health, MLPs improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the well-being of communities. This holistic model of care fosters collaboration between healthcare providers and legal professionals, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive support to tackle both their medical and legal needs. #MedicalLegalPartnership #MLP #LegalAid #HealthJustice #AccessToJustice #HealthcareInnovation #LegalServices #PublicHealth #HealthcareCollaboration

I watched this video three times and I cried three times ... I asked myself why 🤔 Eventually, I think that this is because it conveys such an extraordinary message of - generosity - social inclusion - intergenerational solidarity - the power of education in creating self-empowerment and dignity - the multiplier effect of health-care workers on human health as a pre-requisite for well-being. We must strive to make these cases ordinary. Let's give our best to find the right recipe in every action for sustainable development! The people that we serve deserve it. system thinking , foresight, UN2.0, Madagascar Quintet of Change Lab

Standardize Participants are a great learning tool that can help bridge some of the key gaps in simulators. Great job Billie on this!

Two important pieces of legislation on the docket for this year's DOTH. HR 955/S 1849: Sustaining Outpatient Services Act seeks to redress the inequity in CMS reimbursement when a CR/PR program relocates off campus or opens a new facility off the grounds of the main hospital. HR 1406/S 3021: Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act seeks to make many of the waivers that CMS granted during the PHE permanent. These waivers allowed for the delivery of virtual CR/PR and for the daily supervising provider requirement to be met virtually. The last point is critical (no pun intended) for CAH in rural areas. AACVPR is sending the entire BOD to D.C. this year to impress upon Congress how important these bills are. Hope to see you there.
