Steward Health Care’s Post

According to the National Public Health Week Public health is more than just health care. It's the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are free from pollution. It's making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It's also the relationships we foster in our communities. We're all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health. #QualityofLifeHomeCarellc #HomeCare #getpaidtotakecareofloveones #philadelphiahomecare #NationalPublicHealthWeek #PublicHealth #HealthPromotion #CommunityHealth #Prevention

Rural hospitals are an integral part of local economies and their closures can lead to devastating health and economic outcomes for the communities they serve. Check out this article from my CareSource colleague, Jason Bearden, on how our company is supporting rural hospitals in Georgia and other states we serve. #CareSourceEmployee #CareSourceGA #HealthcareWithHeart

#funfactfriday Did you know that the first #Health Department established in the United States was in #Boston? The department was created in 1799 with Paul Revere as the first health officer. Today, the state of Massachusetts has 351 cities and towns and 2 federally recognized tribes that are independently organized to deliver local public health services and operate autonomously from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. This creates a uniquely fragmented state public health system filled with inconsistency in capacity and quality, substantial inefficiency, and redundancy. It has only been in the last 5 years, through the development of the "Blueprint for Public Health Excellence" and the passing of the "State Action for Public Health Excellence (SAPHE)," that the state has started addressing and making progress increasing cross-jurisdictional sharing of public health services to strengthen the service delivery capacities of local departments. #publichealth #communityhealth #localhealth #healthequity #sdoh

It is important for us to continue to exercise the principles of democracy that Washington and the Founding Fathers fought so hard for and speak up, asking hard questions of candidates in this election year and evaluating their thinking on the issues that affect our field. This President’s Day, let’s put the tools of democracy and unity to use once again, and stand firm for the future of America’s health care. https://lnkd.in/eVqumqnQ

The American Public Health Association (APHA) sponsors National Public Health Week from April 3 to 9 to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important for improving our nation’s health. This year’s theme, Centering and Celebrating Cultures in Health, emphasizes the way different cultures focus on health. As an FQHC, for My Community Health Center, public health is more than just health care. It is all the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are healthy. It is making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It is also the relationships we foster in our communities. We are all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities, and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health! https://lnkd.in/gHfePk3p #NationalPublicHealthWeek #centeringandcelebratingculturesinhealth #mchc #FQHC

As we close out the week focused on Public Health a reminder that “We Are All Public Health” Public health is more than just health care. It’s the steps we take to make sure our neighborhoods and environment are free from pollution. It’s making sure our food and water are safe to eat and drink. It’s also the relationships we foster in our communities. We’re all interconnected. When we all come together to support public health, all of us — individuals, families, communities and the public health field — can achieve the goals of public health. #amnutritionservices

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
