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

Public health is the foundation of a thriving society. As Thomas R. Frieden reminds us, it is not a separate entity but the sum of all healthcare efforts combined. Together, we build healthier communities. #SRMIST #SRMSchoolofPublicHealth #SRMSPH #CommunityHealth #PublicHealthPractice #srm_pov #srmktr #srmuniversity #srmknowledge #Motivation

Thank you for sharing this article. Yes, you are absolutely right Dr. Chokshi regarding why integrating public health and health care matters, and yes we must and can do it now. To achieve it, we really do need policy interventions to improve collaboration! The level of integration between primary care and public health is all about moving from isolation to mutual awareness, cooperation, collaboration, partnership and, finally, merger. However, there is no generally accepted understanding of coordinating public health practice with that of medical/clinical care. These two practices are implemented very differently, especially in American. This is in spite of the fact that the integration of clinical primary care and public health can cover a wide range of activities such as health promotion, health education, prevention activities, chronic disease management, screening, immunization and communicable disease control, information systems activities, development of best practice guidelines, conducting needs assessments, quality assurance and evaluation.

We should be on the brink of a healthcare revolution, with the potential to significantly lighten the world's disease burden, but significant barriers are stifling our progress. Despite the groundbreaking work of countless dedicated individuals, much of it remains unseen and underutilized by those it aims to help. As experts we often tend to It feels like we're standing at the brink of a healthcare revolution, with the potential to significantly lighten the world's disease burden. Yet, despite the groundbreaking work of countless dedicated individuals, much of it remains unseen and underutilized by those it aims to help. The heart of the matter lies in bridging this gap through education and advocacy. The push for change doesn't stop at public awareness; it extends to the halls of power, where legislation can pave the way for these innovations to truly make a difference. By educating the public and advocating for legislative support, we're not just talking about a better tomorrow; we're actively building it. to the choir and stand in echo chambers.

Day 1 of National Public Health Week: April 1st, 2024 Theme: Civic Engagement Pima County Health Department started off the week strong by watching the kickoff forum from the American Public Health Association (APHA). The forum focused on protecting, connecting, and thriving within public health, and the keynote speaker, Pattie Gonia, discussed the intersections that public health owns. My takeaway from the forum was when Pattie Gonia spoke on creating an environment that is like a meadow, not a machine. Rather than speaking about your team/organization like it’s a “well-oiled machine”, we should think of our team/organization as functioning like a well-nurtured meadow. This can be difficult in areas where the system does not prioritize healthy living, but civic engagement can be a way for us to use our voice with our vote. #nphw2024 #nationalpublichealthweekday1 #civicengagement

Looking forward to this discussion and to share the work underway in New Bedford to address equitable access!
