Although CAR-T therapy access has historically been confined to large academic centers and sophisticated community health systems with inpatient capabilities, a growing opportunity exists for broader adoption within community practices, writes Kathryn Moses. https://ow.ly/5kin50UNTON

There can be no greater threat to a peaceful, democratic political process than violence committed in the name of democracy. At the National League for Nursing, we condemn in no uncertain terms all efforts to undermine the right to vote, the right to peacefully assemble and protest, and the right to free speech. As staunch and vocal advocates of public health, we mourn the tragic loss of life and renew our calls to find ways to end gun violence and invest more resources in mental health services and access to equitable, affordable care. We will also continue to strive to end extreme divisions among us and co-create a culture of equity, integrity and caring that celebrates our diversity and embraces our common humanity.

Yes, Community Health Workers ARE essential! Recently, the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio, Northwest Ohio Pathways HUB and Bowling Green State University partnered to study the impact that CHWs have when working with perinatal mothers. The results (per the study): “Almost all mothers reported significantly reduced stress after joining the program. The majority also reported an improved sense of safety, security, and hope. Interviews show additional moderate reductions in stress over time while being a program client. Interviews also indicate that mothers’ relationship with their CHW is key to these improvements: CHW provide social-emotional support, access to tangible goods, and help navigating social service bureaucracies.” CHWs are central to the PCHI Model because they have a unique ability to connect with their community and are making a difference in the lives of those they support.

Studies show that 80% of what influences a person’s health is not determined by what happens inside the hospital, health clinic or health system. Every day, the Children’s Foundation thinks about the most impactful ways to create long-lasting, meaningful change for kids 0 to 24 years old – and we do that by supporting community organizations that have programs that address social determinants of health. By partnering with these front line organizations, we are improving health and health equity for kids today and long into the future. We invite you to learn more about our work and be part of our effort to improve the health and well-being of kids. Together, we can do more. https://lnkd.in/eKYHfMK

Access to oral health services is vital to the health of 15 million Californians served by Medi-Cal, a majority of whom are people of color. For years, communities have reported barriers to accessing oral health services in California, but until now, there’s been little data on access to dental care by race and ethnicity. A new report from California Pan-Ethnic Health Network shines a light on challenges and disparities in access to dental care. News coverage of this important public health issue is lacking, and we hope to see solutions-oriented reporting on CPEHN’s findings. Learn more: https://ow.ly/EzqW50UFH1M.
