Turning Challenges into Opportunities: Optimising the LIFT Estate for Community Health The potential of the LIFT estate is significant yet underutilised. With over 200 modern facilities across England ready to support integrated care, why aren’t we making the most of them? Challenges around costs and occupancy are holding us back, but there are also avenues for change. It’s time to examine these issues critically and consider how we can unlock the full value of these key resources for community health. #LIFT #IntegratedHealthcare #CommunityCare #NHS #HealthInfrastructure #PrimaryCare #HealthcareInnovation #HealthAndWellbeing #FacilityManagement #HealthcareCollaboration #PublicHealth #HealthcareTransformation #DataDrivenHealthcare #PlaceBasedCare #CommunityHealth

Sarah, will you address why Wellcare starting Jan 1 2025 is abandoning thousands of agents and brokers that have serviced and assisted Wellcare members all these years? Cutting off independent agents and agencies nationwide in 2025 will result in massive disruption to those Wellcare members currently enrolled in Part D plans. It is not fair to Seniors who rely on their local broker to guide them and assist them. It is not fair to the brokers who work hard to help them and will now be forced to turn away those same Seniors and inform them they are "on their own" for service and support. Pulling the rug out from your agent and broker community has sent shockwaves through the industry. You really should talk with Wellcare's CEO Michael Carson and direct him to retract the recent decision to eliminate all compensation for agents and brokers on part D plans, including new AND renewal policies. Is it worth alienating the massive broker community to save the company a few bucks (less than $5 per member per month)?

CSH celebrates #NationalHealthCenterWeek and raises awareness of America’s 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs) and their role in providing healthcare to supportive housing tenants. This week we recognize the dedication and passion of CHC staff, board members, and supporters who provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 31.5 million patients across nearly 15,000 communities annually. Today is Public Health in Housing Day Housing plays a crucial role in overall public health. Understanding housing as a social determinant of health (SDOH) will help healthcare providers offer quality care and integrate the services people need to thrive. Housing significantly impacts various health outcomes, functioning, and overall quality of life. To learn about CSH resources on housing as SDOH, how it impacts your patients, and how supportive housing can help them achieve their highest level of health, visit https://hubs.la/Q02J-0cC0

In North Lanarkshire, we understand the power of collaboration and multi-agency working in delivering the highest quality of care and support to those who need it most. Great energy in the room today for the Locality Planning Group development day for Motherwell Locality.   Health and social care services are complex and multifaceted, and no single organisation or service can address all the needs of all individuals and communities alone. That's why we should remain committed to working together across agencies, disciplines, and sectors to provide seamless and integrated care that truly meets the diverse needs of our residents.   By collaborating with partners in health, council, social care, 3rd sector, housing, and beyond, we can:   ✅ Pool resources and expertise to provide holistic support to individuals and families. ✅ Identify and address gaps in services, ensuring that no one falls through the cracks. ✅ Foster innovation and best practice through shared learning and knowledge exchange, especially by listening to those who use services and their carers. ✅ Empower individuals to access the right care, at the right time, in the right place.   At the heart of our collaborative efforts is a shared commitment to putting the needs of people who use services first. Together, we can break down silos, bridge gaps, and build a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.   #Collaboration #MultiAgencyWorking #HealthAndSocialCare #NorthLanarkshire #CommunitySupport
