How do you interpret this? Can an LLMSW in Michigan be in private practice either solo or part of another persons practice even with supervision without permission of the Liscensing Board? Or should LLMSW get their experience elsewhere: schools, hospitals, cmh, etc?

Not sure if you know but one of the most important aspects of controlling diseases being spread is through indoor air quality. Particles are measured by microns which are measured by ion particle counters which are a specialized equipment that can detect the number of particles in the air within a cubic foot. A Human hair thickness is 70 to 75 microns which a micron is a millionth of a meter. Yes a bit overwhelming but let’s just look at a facility that is accredited to provide sterilization of medical devices packaging. The minimum air particle count must be less then 10,000 microns per cubic foot. This is achieved by exchanging the air through masses of Hepa filters which recirculates the air through these filters to keep the particle count below 10,000 per cubic foot and is measured by an ion particle counter. Well can you imagine what the particle air is like in a typical office space? Those particles enter into our lungs and thus we are inundated with the spread of diseases through air borne transmission. Hospitals like Parkland through their research and working with HKS Architects designed their newest facilities with the most stringent air quality requirements possible and it is helping to improve the spread of disease and adding extra protection for their patients, staff and all concerns. By the way,in a typical office workplace environment there are over a million particles per cubic foot . Parkland Hospital made a conscious decision and made it their choice to include and design with all the necessary components to improve Indoor Air Quality. It becomes a choice of the owner and the architect to design and build into their budget and plans the required IAQ infrastructure to ensure the safety of the community within these spaces. HKS Architects researched the interior products in their design and chose the best in filtration and products that produced the lowest amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere, these products even like the choice of ceiling tiles must meet a minimum of ISO 4 ratings. OWA Humancare ceiling tiles through their engineering of the core produces the highest rated ISO 4 ceiling tile which is available in the US. We all can walk around with an ion particle counter to measure just how many microns our lungs are exposed to and someday there will be a day where we will classify our buildings by indoor Air Quality noted on the door before we enter. Our health matters and with 85% of our human lives spent indoors we all need to be made aware. Sick building syndrome, we could not see but felt its impact , it’s all about choices that start with commitment within the design community and the owners to make health and safety major decision in their designs. Congratulations Parkland Hospital for making the right choices for our safety and wellbeing.

🌟 “I have a dream...” 🌟 Inspired by the words of Martin Luther King Jr., I too have a dream – a vision of accessible healthcare for all. This dream was born from my experiences of working closely with individuals in my Medical Aesthetic clinics. Through daily conversations, I hear the challenges individuals face in accessing quality healthcare and as a result, their health needs were left unmet due to barriers in the system. Driven by this vision, Hale Health Advanced Medical Services was created. Hale Health will be much more than just a medical practice; it’s a culmination of my passion for ensuring that everyone receives the care and attention they deserve. Each person I’ve encountered has inspired me to create a space where individuals are seen as individuals, not just numbers on a chart. It’s will be a place where personalised care is not just a promise but a reality. Each person who walks through our doors will be treated as a priority because at Hale Health, you’re not just a patient – you’re part of our family. Join us as we embark on this journey to redefine healthcare in the UK and Ireland. Together, let’s turn dreams into reality and make high-end healthcare accessible to everyone. #HaleHealth #AdvancedMedicalServices #PersonalizedCare #HealthcareRedefined #launchingsoon #health #fitness #healthcare #wellbeing #menopauseclinic #menshealth #contraceptionclinic #minorsurgeries #vasectomyclinic #bloodtests #privategpappointments

This reflection by John J. Frey III from our most recent issue showcases the history and evolution of medical practices, focusing on the shift from small, independent practices to large, corporatized systems. 📰- https://lnkd.in/eWsFDZDG Emphasizing the importance of small, independent practices in primary care can lead to increased physician satisfaction and a stronger sense of community. #PrimaryCare #AnnalsofFamilyMedicine
