4.5 years ago, I took a leap of faith and started my journey at Premera. It had been 12 years since I had been in the corporate world, as I focused on raising my amazing kids and being actively involved in my community. But when my youngest started kindergarten, I decided to test the waters with a 6-month contract. If I didn't enjoy it, I knew I could always walk away. I still remember my first phone interview with Paul Hollie at Premera. Something about that conversation made me realize that I either wanted to work with him or not go back to work at all. Luckily, after a series of interviews, I was offered the position of Social Impact and Rural Healthcare Support Specialist. To be honest, I had no idea what "Rural Healthcare" meant at the time. But I was passionate about community involvement and eager to dive into this new challenge. As I learned more, I discovered the unique healthcare needs of rural areas in Washington and Alaska. It became my mission to make a difference in these underserved communities. Now, after 4.5 years and more than $100M in grants, I find myself reflecting on the incredible programs I have had the privilege to partner with. From collaborative care models, rural nursing programs, and small equipment grants in rural and remote areas, to youth mental health programs, substance use disorders, and focusing on the intersection of behavioral health and homelessness, we are watching the results come in. Stories like this are the reason I love what I do. The work isn’t done yet; in fact, there’s still a long way to go to provide equitable access to healthcare to everyone in the community, and I’m so grateful to be part of the impact. #Premera #SocialImpact #RuralHealthcare #MakingADifference

How do we “make the case”for our research? How do we frame communications to build trust in science? Looking forward to learning more from Krista Longtin, PhD during the American Academy of Nursing CANS state of the science conference!

International Medical Graduate representation in Collegiate and Academic leadership in medicine has been scientifically proven to increase positive clinical outcomes, not just in culturally diverse cohorts and patient populations, but overall improvement across all demographics. Yes! IMG doctors like Dr. Ruaa Elteriefi MD FACP who are Program Directors and/or leadership positions in residency programs are quite literally changing the face of American Healthcare and bridging care gaps on a daily basis. Personally, this is one of my biggest inspirations to continue fighting the good fight of #HealthEquity through #Diversity. Several theories arise referencing cultural competency, accurate communication for patients with language challenges, and diversity of therapeutic modalities tailored with greater precision and personalization as potential avenues and strengths that are fueling these initiatives with proven results. The integration of internationally-trained physicians and scientists represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to bridge care gaps among every single member that composes a part of our society. IMGs = More Americans have access to care = Black and Brown America's health and community needs are taken care of with objectively measured better outcomes. What are your thoughts?

At Shields, we honor the spirit of innovation daily and acknowledge the imperative of showcasing the narratives of individuals who have significantly shaped the landscape of American medicine. As Juneteenth approaches next week, we present an impactful read: https://hubs.ly/Q02B7GPq0
