What's key to moving the momentum in Texas to address the non-medical drivers of health? Partnerships, policy, consolidating resources, and getting the entire health and health care system involved. Those were just some of the thoughts from this week's panel on supporting the social service needs of Texans at State of Reform's Health Policy Conference in Austin. EHF's Tanweer Kaleemullah, JD, LLM, MHA-MBA talked about recent statewide policy successes, including HB 1575 that enhances screening for non-medical needs for pregnant Texans and their babies and allows community health workers and doulas be reimbursed by Medicaid for work to address those needs. Improving #HealthNotJustHealthCare in Texas means changing the conversation on what it takes to improve health outcomes. #healthequity #philanthropy #NMDOH #SDOH #txlege
