CENTURY MEDICAID SERVICES LIMITED’s Post

Are we ready to transform healthcare? In my conversation with Margaret Wallis-Duffy R.M.T., C.P.C.A., her passion for transforming healthcare through unity and collaboration resonated deeply with me. Margaret’s commitment to integrating diverse perspectives, including medical expertise and personal experience, truly highlights the necessity of embracing a broader, more inclusive approach to health and wellness. Margaret points out a critical issue in our communities—many people lack essential health knowledge, which is a barrier to improving overall well-being. This gap in understanding underscores the urgency for us to start from square one, to educate and empower individuals about their health. Her vision of a healthcare system where everyone works together, sharing knowledge and resources, is not just inspiring but essential. We are indeed at a pivotal moment in healthcare. The crises we face, from opiate dependency to mental health challenges, are daunting yet they present us with the unique opportunity to make substantial, lasting changes. Margaret's decision to leave her clinic and focus on legacy work for the benefit of future generations is a bold move that speaks volumes about her dedication. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play, not just as healthcare providers but as community members, to forge a path toward a healthier society. As we consider the future of healthcare, let’s take to heart Margaret’s belief in the power of unity and collaboration. By working together, we can create a system that not only treats illness but also fosters overall wellness and prevents disease before it begins. It’s a challenging journey ahead, but one that holds the promise of a better world for our children and grandchildren. As we consider the future of healthcare, let’s embrace Margaret’s vision of unity and collaboration. By working together, we can foster a system that prioritizes overall wellness and disease prevention. It’s a challenging yet promising journey. As we move forward, I ask you to consider, "What will be your legacy?" How can you contribute to transforming healthcare? Let’s take action today for a healthier tomorrow. #Healthcare #humanity #legacy #Community #People #Unity

Prior to sharing our news about Unum, had you ever heard of the word? We didn’t even know unum (pronounced yoo-num) was a word until a few months ago! As soon as we discovered it, we fell in love. We’re driven by collaboration, in every aspect of what we do; how we work together and who we work with. Unum is Latin for one, or oneness. It means out of many, one. It means togetherness. When thinking about our purpose and mission, we realized how perfect the word unum represented us. It reflects everything we aim to create in ensuring that patients are included in every step of their health care journey as valued members of the team. Unum represents and reflects our commitment to inclusive and collaborative health care solutions, and we can’t wait to collaborate and work with YOU! #healthcareinnovation #healthcare #patientadvocacy #patientexperience #patientadvocate #patienteducation #patientcentricity #patientcenteredcare #patientcentriccare #patientsarepartners

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed leaders, and advocates of public health, Today, we stand at a critical juncture in history, where our actions will shape the future of public health for generations to come. It is imperative that we seize this moment with unwavering determination and resolute action. First and foremost, we must recognize the indispensable role of community organizations and health departments. They are the backbone of our public health infrastructure, tirelessly working on the front lines to safeguard the well-being of our communities. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to provide them with the consistent, long-term funding they need to thrive. Let us establish reliable funding mechanisms and grants to ensure their vital work continues unabated. Furthermore, we cannot afford to ignore the pervasive scourge of racism. It is a public health crisis that demands our immediate attention and decisive action. By acknowledging systemic injustices and actively working to dismantle health disparities rooted in racial discrimination, we pave the way for a more equitable and just society. Investing in the public health infrastructure is not merely an option; it is an imperative. Just as a sturdy foundation is essential for a strong house, a robust health infrastructure is crucial for the well-being of our nation. Let us commit to building and sustaining equitable systems that serve the needs of all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstance. Moreover, achieving our vision of a healthier future requires collaboration across sectors and borders. We must forge cross-sectoral partnerships that bring together diverse stakeholders, from grassroots organizers to international leaders. By leveraging the collective expertise and resources of various sectors, we can create a more inclusive and effective public health ecosystem. Finally, let us embrace the power of global health partnerships. By joining forces with other nations, we can address shared challenges and achieve common goals. Together, we can strengthen our collective capacity to prevent and respond to pandemics and emergencies, ensuring the health and well-being of all people, everywhere. In closing, let us heed the call to action and work tirelessly towards a future where everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life. The time for empowerment is now, and together, we can build a world where public health knows no boundaries. Thank you.

🌍 On World Health Day, we reflect on the theme ‘My Health, My Right.” underscoring the fundamental importance of universal access to quality healthcare for all, regardless of geographical location or socioeconomic status. It’s imperative to recognise that access to healthcare should not be a privilege–it’s a fundamental human right. Every individual deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy life, unimpeded by barriers to medical care. As we navigate a rapidly changing world marked by ongoing environmental concerns, the need for equitable healthcare access is critical. We at Scope Impact continue to work with our partners in the intersection of climate and health, to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to thrive and enjoy their fundamental right to good health. #WorldHealthDay #MyHealthMyRight

On World Health Day, themed "My Health, My Right," we delve into the profound understanding that health is not merely a privilege bestowed upon a fortunate few but an inalienable right inherent to every individual. This theme encapsulates a fundamental truth: that every person, regardless of their background, socioeconomic status, or geographic location, deserves access to equitable and quality healthcare. At its core, "My Health, My Right" embodies the principle of health equity—a principle that calls for the elimination of health disparities and the provision of healthcare services that meet the needs of all individuals. It acknowledges the intrinsic value of each human life and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. This theme invites us to reflect on the systemic barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing the healthcare they need. It prompts us to confront issues of inequality, discrimination, and social determinants of health that perpetuate disparities in health outcomes. Whether it be lack of affordable healthcare, limited access to essential services, or barriers to health information and education, "My Health, My Right" challenges us to dismantle these obstacles and strive for a world where health is truly accessible to all. Furthermore, this theme underscores the agency and autonomy of individuals in making decisions about their health. It recognizes that health encompasses not only physical well-being but also mental, emotional, and social aspects of life. As such, "My Health, My Right" empowers individuals to take ownership of their health, make informed choices, and advocate for their rights in healthcare settings and beyond. Ultimately, embracing the theme "My Health, My Right" requires a collective commitment to social justice, human rights, and global solidarity. It calls for collaboration among governments, healthcare providers, civil society organizations, and individuals to advance policies and practices that prioritize health equity and uphold the dignity and well-being of every person. On this World Health Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to the principle that health is a fundamental human right—one that must be upheld, protected, and realized for all. May "My Health, My Right" serve as a guiding beacon as we work towards building a healthier, more equitable world for generations to come. #WHO #Myhealthmyright #viralpost

Those of us who work in health care have a responsibility to be good stewards for all. Too often, though, when we hear words like “all,” “us,” or “everyone,” we think of folks who live in our town, people who work in our field, or the specific customers or consumers we serve. The implication of this line of thinking is that there are groups beyond “us,” or people who are somehow excluded from the collective “everyone”—in other words, our thinking implies that care is a privilege that some deserve and others don’t.  We have to update this mental model. It may be natural to see humanity as two groups—us and them—but it’s dangerous, especially in health care. In fact, this belief is the origin of many of our most difficult challenges. If we’re going to solve for: 🤲 Health equity 🏥 Public health 😷 Pandemics 🤖 Algorithmic bias 🔧 Technological implementation And so many other pressing problems, our thinking must, must, must commence from this singular point: Everyone, and I mean everyone, deserves care. I’m glad to know and work with innovators who’ve aligned behind this purpose. I’ve made it the cornerstone of my career. I founded a global health nonprofit in 2002 with this belief as a guiding principle. I joined Innovista Health because we focus on simplifying value-based care transformation, which facilitates and incentivizes high-quality, equitable care that strengthens communities. Whatever our roles within the health care ecosystem, we must send a consistent message to every patient and provider we serve: You matter, no matter who you are. That’s the foundation of a system that cares for all. Onwards and upwards, my friends. #healthcare #healthequity #valuebasedcare #paymentreform
