You know that preventive care is fundamental to the health and well-being of Americans of all ages. But did you know that most preventive services are available at no cost to patients in the US? Unfortunately, not everyone accesses preventive services at the same rate, leading to health disparities. That’s why NACHC is partnering with government, health insurance plans, and advocacy organizations to raise awareness about the importance of preventive health services and increase uptake. All Community Health Centers offer preventive services. Read the press release about the new initiative: https://lnkd.in/gSm6UqKC 📍 And share with your networks the MyHealthFinder tool -- designed to promote the full range of preventive care available to consumers and empower patients to have informed conversations with their provider teams. It also links to a directory of Community Health Centers! https://lnkd.in/eT6qt2Q #PreventiveCare #ValueCHCs #HealthEquity

Dear Health Care Providers: We all need to review the Trump-Vance plans for health care. The Washington Post reports the "concept ideas" include the elimination of consumer health protections for tens of million of Americans with pre-existing conditions. The Harris-Walz campaign released a document analyzing the Trump-Vance plan. Here are a few key points: as many as 500 at-risk rural hospitals would close; nearly 19 million seniors will have to pay $400 more on prescription drugs when the $2000 cap on out-of-pocket expenses would be eliminated; more than 4 million Latinos and 1 million Asian Americans would lose converage ; and 4.2 million small businesses and entrepreneurs could lose their Marketplace insurance making it harder to start up. As health care professionals we need to know the real deal, our patients depend on us.

🏥 Why are so many people still without access to healthcare? Even with advancements in medicine, millions of Americans struggle with access due to location, insurance gaps, and rising costs. A more integrated system, focusing on population health management and coordinated care, could bridge this gap. So, how can we push for a system where healthcare access is a right and not a privilege? #healthcareaccess #populationhealth #healthcarereform #healthcareequality #healthcareadministration

So here’s a thought for the healthcare industry: Why does the nursing home setting have to be so sterile? Why are the beds used always so small (honestly college beds are bigger!) and such poor quality for the aging body? Why is lighting so poor? And why isn’t there more advancement in the technology being used to support and design these spaces and these deserving communities?? Let’s talk about Ageism in a system designed to promote quality and longevity (yes, sarcasm) for the aging, and how it continues to UNDER VALUE the population it preaches to serve and protect?? Further more, when Insurance profits are skyrocketing and third party vendors are being implemented to save those same insurance agencies $$…. Why is the living and lifestyle for so many continually declining? Not enough staff, not enough supplies, limited nutritional services and wellness SERVICES in general ( not blaming the therapy departments or service agents)…. We need to do better! So tell me why it’s so far fetched to believe we CAN do better?

🚨 Florida Health Care Spending: Are We on the Right Track? 🚨 This year, the Florida legislature budgeted nearly $49 billion in taxpayer funding for healthcare-related spending. Yet, these priorities may not significantly improve healthcare affordability and accessibility for Floridians. 🤔 State legislators continue to reject the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion provision, which could cover nearly 800,000 people and save the state $200 million annually. 📉 A recent survey from Perry Undem highlights: -61% of Floridians want big, fundamental changes to the health system. -81% of Floridians overwhelmingly support state leaders making health insurance more affordable. 💪 It’s time for a change! Let’s push for policies that truly benefit Floridians. 🌟 #HealthCare #MedicaidExpansion #AffordableHealthCare #FloridaHealth #PublicHealth

Vermont's unique health system model has been under extreme stress over the past two + years from unsustainable increases in the cost of health insurance, the edifice building behaviors of the UVM Health Network along with Wall Street health care level administrative salaries, and the quagmire among rural hospitals budget winners/losers and state regulatory ambiguity. Yesterday the Green Mountain Care Board received the Act 167 Community Engagement Recommendations Report on the future of the system from the Oliver Wyman Consultancy. Key recommendations: 1. Build housing and other facilities and fix transportation 2. Pay PPS hospitals with reference-based pricing and move to global budgets/capitation for all when conditions for success are met 3. #Moveallcarepossibleoutofhospitals
