In Texas, your zip code shouldn't determine your health. Yet, racial disparities are a powerful force shaping the non-medical drivers of health—like access to safe places to exercise, affordable healthy foods, and accessible health services. EHF CEO Ann Barnes, MD, MPH will join #TribFest24 on Friday in Austin to discuss efforts to battle racial disparities in health care access and outcomes. She'll be part of a panel discussion and live taping of the KFF Health News ‘What the Health?’ podcast with Julie Rovner. At EHF, we're focused on leveling the playing field by promoting health equity, ensuring that everyone, regardless of race or neighborhood, has the opportunity to achieve their best health. EHF is addressing these disparities head-on through initiatives and grant funding that tackle the root causes of poor health — like our work in underserved communities to improve access to healthy food, utilizing community health workers to improve maternal health, and projects that are connecting would-be ER patients with desperately needed nutrition and housing needs. That’s how we move beyond treating illness to truly fostering health. That's why we're improving #HealthNotJustHealthCare in Texas! #SDOH #NMDOH #philanthropy

1 in 4. Remember this statistic. It’s the number of people who are served by Health Centers across the United States of America. Over the past 50 + years the movement has become more and more significant and quite frankly, critical. This movement is like no other. It’s about courage, fortitude, perseverance, and compassion. It’s not a job it’s a way of life. It’s about advocating for all. It’s about being a solution for the ills of the world. It’s about lifting up while strengthening America’s landscape. With just a little federal funding, every dime is stretched and generating 6 times over. The person wins, the employee wins, the local economy wins, the state wins, and more significantly, the nation wins. Special thanks to Congress and to all U.S. Presidents over the past 50 years who have allocated funding to this beautiful movement. We are super excited to support our team who sacrifice daily to ensure that the mission lives on. To all the leaders, employees, patients, and families we salute you. To all of the volunteer and consumer board members, your service matters. #NationalCHCWeek🎉 #HealthCentersBridgingGaps #Advocacy #AmericaWinsWithCHCs #CelebratingQualityinHealhcare #EVERYONEMATTERS #INCLUSIVCARES
📣 To kick off National Health Center Week, August 4-10, the White House issued a proclamation recognizing the key role Community Health Centers play in making sure health care is a right in this country, not a privilege: "Federally funded community health centers are a lifeline for over 30 million Americans nationwide — providing affordable access to quality medical, dental, and behavioral health services, which save lives. Community health center sites are especially critical for people in Tribal, rural, and underserved communities because they are often the closest and most convenient sources of care. During National Health Center Week, we recognize the importance of the nearly 1,400 federally funded community health centers that provide critical services to Americans. We express our gratitude to their dedicated staff, who tirelessly devote themselves to the well-being of their patients. And we recommit to ensuring that every American has access to good-quality, affordable health care." Read the full proclamation: https://lnkd.in/e4E4hyDv #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs

The American Public Health Association (APHA) sponsors National Public Health Week from April 3 to 9 to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important for improving our nation’s health. This year’s theme, Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health, emphasizes the way different cultures focus on health. As an FQHC, for My Community Health Center, public health is more than just health care. It is all the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are healthy. It is making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It is also the relationships we foster in our communities. We are all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities, and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health! https://lnkd.in/gHfePk3p #NationalPublicHealthWeek #centeringandcelebratingculturesinhealth #mchc #FQHC
