Millions of Californians who rely on Medi-Cal for health coverage are at risk of losing coverage during the post-COVID-19 redeterminations process. Already, 700,000 have been disenrolled, many due to procedural issues (not necessarily because they're ineligible), which can result in disruptions to care. California Health Care Foundation spoke with Christopher Gomez, an outreach and enrollment manager with Northeast Valley Health Corporation, on strategies to help smooth the Medi-Cal renewals process in LA County. One critical strategy is the advocacy community-based organizations, community health center consortia and partners engage in to raise awareness of the changes needed. #ValueCHCs https://lnkd.in/eDskwwne

Another timely discussion about work EACH is leading which ought to be spread and delivered at scale.
We loved hosting Federal Health Minister Mark Butler MP and Member for Aston Mary Doyle MP at our Burwood Highway site in Ferntree Gully last week to talk through the challenges and opportunities of community-based healthcare – including the imminent loss of funding to Reconnexion, our specialist benzodiazepine dependency and withdrawal support service. This week, we’ll be welcoming Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah MP to our Patterson St site in Ringwood East to learn more about our customers’ needs, and especially our Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Clinic.

A crisis is looming as millions of Californians may lose health coverage if they don't complete their Medi-Cal renewal paperwork. An L.A.-area enrollment counselor is sharing insights and recommendations in a new blog post - the first in a series from the frontlines of Medi-Cal redetermination. Getting through renewal red tape remains a major barrier, especially for non-English speakers. More enrollment assistance and outreach is critical so eligible Californians can maintain vital health coverage without disruption. Read the counselor's on-the-ground perspective and ideas to simplify renewals. https://lnkd.in/eDskwwne

🎉🏥 Celebrating a Win for Community Health Centers: Your Advocacy Made a Difference, Lets Keep It Going! During a time when federal funding for many essential programs faces stagnation, there's a beacon of hope shining for Community Health Centers (CHCs). Thanks to supporters' unwavering advocacy efforts, CHCs secured a substantial increase in base funding last week! Your dedication and persistence have truly made this victory possible. 🛑 However, our work is far from over. Another crucial deadline looms on the horizon. Thirty percent of federal funding allocated annually or at the discretion of policymakers for health centers and the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) is set to expire on March 22 unless Congress takes swift action. 🛑To prevent a potential partial government shutdown and mitigate the risk of an automatic 1% cut in annual CHC funding, CHCs urgently need your continued support. 💚 Join the ☎️ Call-in Campaign and 📧 Email Campaign to urge Congress to act before the looming deadline. 🗣 Your voice matters now more than ever. Rally your colleagues, friends, and supporters to participate in the campaign. 🔗 Share this link https://shorturl.at/crFG8 and encourage your network to make the crucial call to Congress again! Let's not lose momentum now. We can ensure that CHCs receive the necessary funding to continue providing quality healthcare to underserved communities across the nation! #VALUEchcs #FQHCS #RuralHealthCare #Healthcare
