Lutheran Health Network’s Post

Trust is key to driving real health outcomes. Especially as it relates to health related social needs.

Something I do not talk enough about is how I consider Papa to be a robust benefit. Through the same partnership, we address different needs that can directly impact a person’s access to health resources. Whether is transportation to and from the doctors, picking your medication, taking you to the grocery store, or even staying at home to clean and rearrange furniture. Think of what would happen if you could not keep your house clean, if you had no one to take you to an appointment, or if you had to survive with limited food in your pantry and worry it will run out before the end of the month. At Papa, we add a trusted human that genuinely wants to see you be the best version of yourself! When you have what you need to be and stay healthy, you thrive. #healthequity

Watch as I open up about the motivations behind my career shift, hoping it might inspire or support others navigating similar paths. #nurse #advocate #nursesonlinkedin #nursepreneur #nurseeducator #nurseleaders #patientadvocate #patientempowerment #nursecasemanagers #innovationinhealthcare #makinganimpact

Determining the best overall care for a senior loved one can be overwhelming. You must assess the pros and cons of different care options and weigh relevant concerns such as personal preferences, financial considerations, health issues, etc. One of the benefits of In-home care for your loved one is allowing them to age in comfortable and familiar surroundings. We also offer customized care options and personalized care. Another benefit to In-home is it’s often less expensive than a nursing home or assisted living facility. As a family caregiver, your loved one’s well-being is a top priority. At Visiting Angels, our professional caregivers provide outstanding personal care services for older adults – and peace of mind for family members – that are difficult to match at older adult facilities. https://lnkd.in/gqVSxq5N
