Academic health systems serve a vital role in the health and well-being of the communities they serve. As such, the ACA recognized the role of providers in advancing community health, mandating that #nonprofit hospital organizations conduct community health needs assessments and develop a community health improvement plan to meet identified needs. Health systems can build on the progress and connections made through these processes to more effectively allocate resources, drive tangible reductions in health disparities, and improve access to care. Eboné Carrington, Alex Morin, Michael Siao Tick Chong and Thomas Enders describe how to prepare a multi-mission community health and health equity strategic plan here:

At Axis Community Health, we're committed to ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare for all. That's why we were excited to visit the Sacramento Capitol today, advocating for policies directly impacting our patients and clinic. During our visit, Axis’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Dawnell Moody, addressed the critical need to tackle the workforce crisis in primary care in the United States emphasizing the importance of preparing the next generation of primary care providers to serve diverse patient populations. Dr. Moody further discussed how Community Health Centers play a vital role in providing essential and cost-efficient healthcare to millions across the US. She outlined challenges faced by Community Health Centers in California, particularly regarding financial sustainability. Our behavioral health team provided insight into the multi-faceted benefits of integrated behavioral health highlighting our Axis Bridge urgent mental health intervention. Dr. Jennifer Penney, Axis’s Chief of Integration, shared the program’s effectiveness in providing urgent mental health services to individuals of all ages as well as the significant cost savings achieved through Axis Bridge, as well as its role in decreasing hospitalizations and unnecessary emergency department visits within the Tri-Valley. We look forward to continuing to engage with policymakers and stakeholders to advocate for policies that support our mission of providing essential healthcare services to our community. #AxisCommunityHealth #HealthEquity #Advocacy #PrimaryCare #MentalHealth #CHCs #CaliforniaHealthcare #SacramentoCapitol #DAC2024 #ValueCHCs #CHCAdvocacy California Primary Care Association

Happy National Health Center Week! Did you know that Mosaic is a "Community Health Center"? Do you know why that makes us different? Community Health Centers were founded out of the Civil Rights Movement and the War on Poverty in the 1960s as a way to address population health issues beyond just clinical diagnoses — by focusing on the root of health disparities caused by poverty, inequality, lack of access to care, and other socio-economic factors. Since then, the Health Center Program has grown to become a key part of the nation’s healthcare system. Partially funded by government grants, Community Health Centers MUST meet the Health Center Program requirements, which include: - Having a governing board where a majority of its members are patients - Focusing on the needs of the groups of people and the areas they serve - Developing systems of care that center on the patient - Serving everyone, even if they cannot pay - Charging for services on a sliding fee scale - Providing all required services - Following everything else the Compliance Manual requires Learn more about the history of Health Centers and their birth during the 1960s on the National Association of Health Care Centers blog: https://loom.ly/_1Ihdkw. #NHCW24 #ValueCHCs #QualityCareForAll
