Ethiopian Health Education and Promotion Professionals Association (EHEPA)’s Post

As a healthcare professional, it's easy to overlook the fact that not everyone possesses the same level of knowledge about health and wellness. During my clinical training, I witnessed firsthand the significant impact of preventable conditions on patients' lives, prompting me to delve deeper into understanding why this knowledge gap exists. My journey led me to recognize a critical need for basic health education within communities. Motivated by this realization, I've made it my mission to empower individuals with the information they need to proactively manage their health. Through education and advocacy, I believe we can equip individuals with the tools and understanding necessary to make informed decisions about their well-being. Together, we can work towards a healthier future for all. #HealthEducation #CommunityEmpowerment

Being private pay opens the door to different opportunities to treat patients how they want. If they have a good exercise routine but need more maintenance sessions or just some recovery work.. WE CAN DO THAT! This leads to quicker recovery and less visits which equals less money spent!! We also provide sports performance programming and health coaching. Want to know what that is?

What is Social Prescribing Day? Today (14th March) may seem like any other day but its in fact a day to celebrate those who make social prescribing work happen. Social prescribing connects people to non-medical support for things which may still affect our health but can't be treated by doctors or medicine alone. For example, loneliness, debt, stress due to finances or poor housing. Social prescribing connects the health and care systems to community-based activities to address social, emotional and practical issues affecting a patients health and wellbeing. If you want to find out more about how the National Academy of Social Prescribing can help primary care networks or you just want to find out more about it and what's involved be sure to check out their website. https://lnkd.in/eHR8FFZA

#CareerGuidance Developing the right narrative for your profession and experience. This advice is worth adopting. 📌

Health literacy is not just about understanding medical jargon; it's about empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being. By engaging with our communities and fostering a culture of health literacy, we equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of healthcare, advocate for their own health needs, and make informed choices that lead to better outcomes. Let's build communities where health information is accessible, understandable, and actionable for all. 🌍 #HealthLiteracy #CommunityEngagement #Empowerment"

Coffee and contracts! The series continues, and this is my 3rd post as a breakout room facilitator. Here are my highlights from today's session: 1) ON THE CUSP OF A TIPPING POINT. Contracting between social care and health care is gaining momentum. The collective wisdom is making "more" and "better" happen at a faster and faster rate. Peer-to-peer opportunities like this are a powerful catalyst 2) IT'S OK TO SAY NO. Community Care Hubs (CCHs) do and should prioritize the care needs of their community members. When occasional health sector contract opportunities come by that aren't aligned with mission, and/or aren't financially sustainable, its ok to say no. 3) KNOW WHEN TO USE LAWYERS, and when you don't have to... Invest time upfront to develop great templates and well-trained staff. And then enjoy the benefits of growth, experience and "not your first rodeo" to decide when lawyers are not required. 4) WELCOME THE FRANK QUESTIONS. One participant shared that Health Plans and Providers have been asking lately: What's the upside to me of having contracts with social care? I know some of my impassioned social care colleagues might be miffed that isn't obvious, given their fantastic work. But, from my POV, that sounds like leaning in. Frank discussion about real value creation for contracting partners and the members they serve is awesome and just what is needed to unlock the highest value. Partners in Care Foundation just rocks! Ester Sefilyan and Anne Ly shared their incredible expertise which informed these points and the collective discussion. Thanks all who facilitated and participated.

What is "whole-person" care, and how do healthcare staff improve these skills? Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) training is the primary way that organizations build the capacity of staff and leadership to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate whole-person care. #wholepersoncare #wraparoundservices
