Missed Opportunity: This Vital Health Option Was Absent at the Resource Fair – Can You Guess What It Was? Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in my local community resource fair. It was an incredible experience to connect with dedicated professionals like social workers, nurses, and community health representatives. The fair showcased various essential services – from pediatric and cancer screenings to trauma support. Organizations like Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, Walmart, UNT Health Science Center, Cook Children's Health Care System, Texas Health Resources, Tarrant Area Food Bank, JPS Health Network were all represented, offering valuable resources. Yet, among this impressive array of services, one glaring omission was 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀. Clinical trials allow researchers to test new treatments that can improve health outcomes for everyone. Diverse participation in these trials is crucial to ensure that new treatments are effective for all populations. ✅We can significantly increase awareness and participation by building community partnerships. Let's bridge the healthcare gap and ensure everyone can access ALL their health options. Clinical trials offer a chance to contribute to medical breakthroughs while receiving potential health benefits.

Wow! I had the true privilege and honor to be in a room last evening with an amazing group of Vanderbilt University Medical Center physicians. The physician council meets on a monthly basis and this month we had a holiday reception. They each shared a story about a proud moment they have had in their career as a doctor. The stories were truly amazing and I think reconnected us all on the difference made in the very noble profession of medicine. What did I walk away with? 1) The practice of medicine is not always about doing something but sometimes about just being there, with and for another person. 2) There are a lot of up's and down's in caring for others but it can be the middle ground where you see the differences. 3) It starts with caring and as long as one cares the what and how will follow. 4) Lives have been saved based on taking risks and chances. People who probably should not have walked out of the hospital did because of the skill and compassion shown by health care professionals. 5) Don't give up. Heard numerous stories of adversity and individuals not wanting to engage or give up and because of the empathy shown by a doctor they engaged, were helped, and are now advocates for others stricken with their conditions to get help. An amazing group of humans. I finished by sharing that they shared 20 stories of lives forever changed, including their own, but the ripples are so much larger. There are countless families celebrating this holiday season with a loved one because of the amazing skill and care provided by all the professionals in the Health Care Industry. We do so much more right than wrong! #humanexperience #medicine #makingadifference David Haynes, Jaqulyn Dixon, Kris Rehm, MD, MMHC, SFHM, Raeshell Sweeting, Paul Sternberg, Marilyn Dubree, Rick Wright, Jason A.

Human Experience Week recognises and celebrates that the experiences of our patients, their families and carers cannot be separated from the experiences of our caregivers (staff and volunteers). The theme for 2024, Innovate to Elevate, focuses on the importance of amplifying voices to inspire hope and making the important shift from surviving to thriving by removing the pebbles in our shoes. At NSW Health, we know that the exceptional patient experience is more than receiving excellent clinical care. How that care is delivered and how it makes us feel is just as important.
