Spectrum Health Care (SHC)’s Post

NACHC appreciates that Congress included a temporary extension of mandatory funding for Community Health Centers and primary care workforce programs in the new Continuing Resolution (CR) preventing a government shutdown until March 8. The Senate is expected to vote on the new CR soon. Health center patients and providers urge Congress to pass a long-term extension of health center funding at the highest possible level as soon as possible to help close the gap in access to primary care. #PrimaryCare #HealthCenters #HealthEquity

📣 Check out Build Healthy Places Network NEW Community Close-Up! 👉 Hospital closure is one of the biggest challenges that many rural communities face leaving residents unable to receive access to health care. Mackinac Straits Health System (MSHS) located in Michigan’s upper peninsula struggled to remain open and had limited physician resources. Instead of closing the doors of another rural hospital, MSHS forged a strategic partnership with The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, a federally recognized American Indian Tribe with around 50,000 members. It offers several programs and services, including critical health care, but many Tribal members are unable to access these services due to long distance travel to the Tribe’s major health centers to receive care. By constructing one building that would house both a new hospital and a Tribal health clinic, the two entities were able to circumvent this service gap by successfully turning the tide and opened a new state-of-the-art healthcare facility and Tribal health clinic. 👉 Learn more about how two community partners turned a shared need for healthcare access into a successful collaboration rooted in reciprocity and trust. https://ow.ly/8Ng350RlGlv #RuralHealth #RuralProsperity #RuralPartners #TribalHealth #TrustBuilding #CrossSectorPartnerships

🏥 Rural healthcare’s outlook just worsened, according to a new analysis from Chartis, a healthcare advisory firm. The updated analysis of key indicators such as rural hospital operating margin, facility closures, and loss of access to care and services paints a grim picture for rural hospitals in the US, particularly independent providers. Half of rural hospitals are operating in the red, the analysis found, and that percentage increased from 43 percent a year ago. More independent rural hospitals are operating at a loss at 55 percent, while 42 percent of health system-affiliated rural hospitals have a deficit. The analysis noted that almost 60 percent of rural hospitals in the US are now affiliated with a health system. #RuralHealth #HealthcareAccess #CommunityHealth #SupportRuralHospitals #HealthEquity #MedicalServices #HealthcareSupport #HealthcareHeroes #HealthcareAdvocacy #PublicHealth #HealthcareSystem #HealthcareNews #HospitalFinances #HealthcareCrisis #RuralCommunities #HealthcareEmergency #HealthcareManagement #HealthcareQuality #HealthcareCosts #rcm #
