Do you ever wish you could go back and give a better answer? That happened to me today. During my presentation, I stumbled a bit when asked about our partnership with food banks. I realized later how I could have prepared better for that question. Here’s the response I wish I had given: Eleven years ago, I spoke with the CEO of a food bank who said, "We need to work on shortening the line," meaning we should focus on solutions that reduce people's need for food banks. Fast forward to today, the line has only grown longer. We're losing agricultural land at alarming rates, and Texas has become one of the most food-insecure states in the nation. While food banks are crucial in addressing immediate hunger, we must also pursue long-term strategies and collaborate across multiple sectors to truly shorten that line. Food banks alone cannot solve this complex issue. We need to support them while working on sustainable solutions that address the root causes of food insecurity. Thank goodness for social media. I can post my perfect answer and now I will not loose any sleep over my stumble 😉 The Health Cell - San Antonio Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc. #FoodSecurity #SustainableSolutions #CommunityHealth

🚨 Exciting News from the Wastewater Frontlines! 🚨 🧪🔬As the world continues to grapple with health challenges, staying a step ahead is crucial. That's why the latest ad-hoc MPox bulletin by the EU Wastewater Observatory for Public Health is an indispensable resource for professionals across the spectrum. 💧💻 📅 On August 13, 2024, the Africa CDC designated MPox as a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS), underscoring the critical nature of timely and accurate health data. Responding to this, our team, in collaboration with the Community of Practice on Wastewater Surveillance for Public Health, has compiled an essential bulletin following directives from the European Commission's HERA. This publication provides a comprehensive look at wastewater-related surveillance initiatives, reflecting the latest feedback and updates on ongoing or upcoming projects. 🌍 This is a prime example of how interconnected our global health responses have become, and how wastewater surveillance is becoming an invaluable tool in our public health arsenal. 🔗 To dive into the bulletin, visit: EU Wastewater Observatory Bulletin: https://lnkd.in/dPaEZ4WC 🔑 If you encounter any access issues, simply create an EU Login with your business address and register on the website.

HERA, or the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority is a directorate general announced in 2021 with the broad objective of preparing for and responding to cross-border health crises that made its debut more as a promise than a plan.

"So, now that you have attended #HIMMS24, what are you going to do next? I'm going to Disney World!" Whenever I think of Orlando, FL, I think of Disney World, and when I think of Disney World, I usually think of the interesting relationship between winning the Super Bowl and going to Disney World. (Can you tell that I like football from recent posts?) 😂 Those who are heading to Orlando, FL for the annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference, please do connect with our ON2IT Cybersecurity team attending! Hearing your concerns, strategies, and expectations for the future of security in Healthcare are of the upmost importance to us. And If you do end up heading to Disney World after HIMMS, while there is no guarantee of $30K(the avg. amount Super Bowl MVPs receive from Disney after their triumphant win when they state their future endeavor.) from us, you might catch a BIG WIN and have the opportunity to get soaked on #disney's famous ride 'Splash Mountain' with my colleague Bradford Cocke, if you're lucky 😉 #himss24 #healthcare #disneyworld #cybersecurity #managedsecurity
