In light of the recent insights shared by Kathleen Ross at the UN, it's clear that systemic changes are needed to improve senior care.

Today's focus for National Health Center Week is: Healthcare for people experiencing homelessness. Did you know Community Health Centers (CHCs) serve over 1.3 million patients who experience homelessness every year? Those facing homelessness are at heightened risk for chronic and acute diseases, behavioral health conditions, and more, which can lead to poor health outcomes, disabilities, and premature death. Our dedicated member CHCs, like Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, are at the forefront, providing essential care, support, and dignity to those in need. Today serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that accessible, compassionate healthcare can have in breaking the cycle of homelessness. #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs #CoCHCs

📈 California's county-based health plans are on the rise, serving as a cornerstone in managing care for Medi-Cal enrollees and more. These plans now cover 1 in 5 Californians! 🔍 Recent data shows a significant 10.4% enrollment increase in 2023, with 9.8 million members. This surge is largely attributed to continuous coverage policies during the COVID-19 emergency. 💰 Financially, these plans saw a $37 billion revenue in 2022, with a notable growth over the past two years. Their financial health is robust, with margins more than doubling since 2018. 🏥 The secret? A strategic balance of medical expense growth and revenue increase, ensuring a stronger, more resilient health care system for Californians.

⭐ A new kind of prescription: civic engagement ⭐ Health professionals are 12-23% less likely to vote than the general population. Registered nurses are 10% less likely to vote than the general population. What does it mean for our healthcare system when health professionals — the people on the floors of our hospitals and clinics who see the real impact of policy on our patients and our institutions — don’t vote? Low voter turnout is a critical issue that affects community health. States with more voting access tend to have better health outcomes. A more civically engaged community increases government accountability, promotes inclusive policy-making, and improves health policies. Together, we can build a healthier democracy. ❤️ Join us the #NurseTheVote campaign to learn low-lift ways we can heal our communities: https://lnkd.in/g7CWi9-e
