Community health workers (#CHWs) are vital for universal health coverage (UHC)! Undeniable evidence shows that CHWs deliver primary health care that improves access, increases equity, and saves lives.  That’s why at #UNGA79 we’re advocating for professional CHWs (#proCHWs) who are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied to be the norm worldwide. Join us as we work towards #healthforall. Community Health Impact Coalition

What better way to improve community health than by partnering with people who live in the communities we serve.

The reality of the Ontario health landscape is that Emergency depts CANNOT handle the volume of people requiring care In Ontario and Ottawa we are fortunate to have CHC (Community Health Centres) and CRCs (Community Resource Centres) that fill part of that gap. Without them many in our underserved communities would not get the care they need. BUT It is becoming more and more difficult to retain our staff as CHC & CRC wages cannot compete with Public Health or Hospitals. We need wage increases to keep our communities properly supported. Recognizing most people don’t support change until they know ‘what’s in this for me’ If the folks being served at community level are forced to seek care at hospitals there will be even LESS bandwidth. The Eckler report was commissioned by the Alliance of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC) and provides insight into the issues. Make a difference speak to your Provincial Member of Parliament, ask them if they can describe situation and then ask about potential solutions. https://lnkd.in/eAnRQP_Z

Healthcare disparities are not abstract concepts. You don’t need to be an academic researcher to find them—they’re unfolding right before our eyes. #HealthcareDisparities #HealthEquity #SocialDeterminants #HealthcareReform #CommunityCare #ActionForChange #SocialWorkisForEveryone

Screening for social needs should be required. All government-funded health and human service programs should receive enhanced funding to ensure screening for social needs, and the rules and regulations of social service interventions should be modified to encourage health plans and health systems to address them. Do you agree? #health #community #healthcare #screening #socialneeds #socialcare #government #sdoh
