Comagine Health’s Post

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dept of Public Health Pulse Newsletter noted the success of Arthritis Exercise Programs in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, federally qualified health centers, and the Granite YMCA for their incredible work integrating arthritis exercise programs into their healthcare system! The Impact: 7,000 patients screened: Early detection and intervention are key! 450 people joined exercise programs: Empowering individuals to manage their health through evidence-based programs including Arthritis Foundation Walk With Ease. This is the power of public health in action! By implementing evidence-based programs and collaborating across sectors, we can significantly improve the lives of those living with chronic conditions like arthritis. Key Takeaways: Integrating physical activity screening and counseling into routine care works! Linking patients to proven interventions makes a difference. Public-private partnerships are key to success. Let's celebrate New Hampshire's success and use it as inspiration to replicate and expand effective public health programs across the country! #PublicHealth #ArthritisAwareness #ExerciseIsMedicine #NHDOHHS #YMCA #CDC #Collaboration #Impact #healthcare #fitness Share this post to spread the word and highlight the importance of public health!

The best healthcare systems are HEALTH systems. Strong partnerships with public health are vital to sustaining that focus.

It's remarkable to see how the pandemic has reshaped our understanding of the intersection between public health and #healthcare. We delved into the critical importance of seamless collaboration between these sectors.   Our conversation highlighted how, in an ideal world, the public might not distinguish between public health efforts and health care services. For instance, in managing infectious diseases like measles and syphilis, health care providers diagnose individual cases, while public health teams conduct contact tracing and community education. This dynamic interplay ensures comprehensive disease management and community protection. #AspenIdeasHealth #AspenIdeas #WeFindAWay

There is also a strong case to be made for placing #PublicSafety on the same continuum ( #Healthcare <--> #PublicHealth <--> Public Safety), ESPECIALLY as we continue opening a Big Tent to incorporate mental and behavioral health in the health care / public health dialogue. The tragic reality is, like few other practices *in our world,* it takes JUST SECONDS for an adverse public safety encounter to become a lethal encounter. There is plenty of public safety that doesn't overlap with public health or healthcare per se. But someone who is unable to respond or obey -- for a range of reasons, from disability (e.g., autism, schizophrenia, many other etiologies) to biochemical impairment (i.e., people stroking or hypoglycemic have of course been mistaken for being under the influence) -- might NOT be a threat. The public safety side of our community WANTS to be better informed re: critical clinical context, but their policies, procedures, and technical means of accessing such data have not yet caught up. The ability is coming fast and finally -- this is something I've been honored to be deeply involved in at the regional, state, and even interstate levels. Complex patients, who live at the synapse of healthcare, public health, and public safety, are a poignantly vulnerable population when it comes to #DisasterPreparedness. Therefore, they are DEFINITELY a discussion topic in major metros like those where Brendan G. Carr, MD, MA, MS has had (and is having) a tremendously empathetic impact, including #NewYork, #Philadelphia, #DC, and more.

www.qualibar.com World Leprosy Day provides an opportunity to dispel myths and reduce the stigma associated with leprosy, as well as to advocate for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. The primary purpose of World Leprosy Day is to raise public awareness about leprosy, promote understanding of the disease, and encourage efforts to eliminate discrimination and associated social stigma. The WHO launched a new global strategy for leprosy for 2021–2030, to achieve a world free of leprosy-related suffering. The strategy focuses on strengthening health systems, empowering communities, and promoting inclusivity. #qualibar #qualibarinc #qualitymatters #itsolutions #itservices #softwaresolutions #softwareservices #testingsolutions #testingservices #worldleprosyday #publichealth #awarness #worldhealthorganization #qualibarbhubaneswar #qualibarIndia #qualibaratlanta #qualibargeorgia #qualibarnewyork #qualibarusa

Diabetes remains a pressing public health issue worldwide, with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes diagnoses on the rise. This trend underscores the urgent need for increased awareness, prevention efforts, and effective management strategies. Organizations like the Kendall Wyche Foundation are instrumental in addressing this challenge by providing resources, support, and advocacy for individuals living with diabetes. Through initiatives focused on education, access to healthcare, and community outreach, the foundation aims to empower individuals to rise above the challenges of diabetes and live healthy, fulfilling lives. By raising awareness and promoting early detection and intervention, we can work towards reducing the burden of diabetes and improving outcomes for affected individuals. #DiabetesAwareness #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #KendallWycheFoundation #RisingAboveDiabetes

The World Health Organisation has declared a public emergency over the recent resurgence in Mpox. The only way to stop the spread of diseases is through awareness, but where do you start? Our Mpox Awareness campaigns are designed to not only educate, but also to encourage people with practical actions to stop the spread. This is one for any public environments in affected areas (schools, businesses, etc) or if your workforce travels to an affected area. See the link in the comments to access your ready-made awareness campaign and stop the spread, today. #AwarenessCampaigns #Mpox #StopTheSpread #WorkforceCampaigns

In the realm of public health, unity and collaboration are essential for effective crisis management. A recent USA Today article sheds light on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Mandy Cohen's stance on combating divisiveness within the public health sector. Join me in exploring Cohen's perspective and how fostering solidarity can strengthen our collective response to health challenges. #PublicHealth #Unity #Collaboration #CDC #trustbuilding https://lnkd.in/gMhvtNkf

Many of you know I am passionate about #patientexperience as part of my work with Big Eye Innovation . In part, this is based on my own lived experience with #multifocalmotorneuropathy or #mmn . Though I am super-lucky (am stable and responded really well to regular treatment), the reality is my diagnosis was a hard-fought one that took SEVEN YEARS!!! And as I've noted many times, it took seven years as someone who is privileged by: --The fact my first language is English: which gave me a voice to clearly articulate what was happening --Knowledge of the health system: that gave me the confidence to keep pushing even when I was sent packing by a neurologist who, despite acknowledging something was wrong, wasn't interested in figuring it out --Race: which likely played into being taken more seriously (though I'm still a woman so there was a little, "you're getting older and slowing down" inserted into some conversations...) --Education level: while I pride myself on being a straight talker, I know you get further/am taken more seriously when I up my vocab with physicians Just imagine how long it would have taken if more odds were stacked against me...One of the reasons I agreed to do this video is because another video by another passionate advocate was a large part in solving the puzzle. Today marks day one of #MMNawarenessmonth and I'm excited to help the GBS/CIDP Foundation of Canada / Fondation canadienne du SGB/PDIC kick it off by putting my story out there. Also a special shout-out to all those who donate #bloodplasma through Canadian Blood Services . Your gift lets me live a full, healthy and productive life! #rarediseaseawareness #patientadvocacy #healthequity #luckyduck
