Over the years, there has been a concerning trend of excessive reliance on emergency services rather than preventative care, prompting providers and social support organizations alike to ask:  What underlying factors are fueling this overreliance on emergency room visits? In our latest blog post, we break down three common reasons individuals and families tend to gravitate towards Emergency Room visits instead of opting for preventive check-ups or utilizing well-being resources. Read about the proactive steps we're implementing to bridge the gap between emergency services and primary care in our latest blog.

If you're uncertain about the distinctions between emergency care and urgent care, save this post! The good news is, you’re not alone. In fact, a staggering 33% of Americans opt for the ER even when their issues aren't exactly emergencies, according to a study commissioned by Zocdoc. But the bad news is, you could be spending thousands of dollars unnecessarily by going to the ER when you don’t need to. Let's clear things up: 👉 Emergency Care is your lifeline in critical situations. It's rapid but meant for severe issues and may come with a hefty price tag. 👉 Urgent Care is your go-to for non-life-threatening problems like the flu or minor fractures. It's quick and convenient. There is an even more affordable solution that many millennials often neglect, and that is primary care. Physician Assistant Nicholas Romano breaks down all three in the latest article here:  https://lnkd.in/gf6t4REV

State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR) - Annual Alert System Test: The cities of Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville, and Lancaster will test all City STEAR registrants using the contact information provided when registering in the State STEAR program on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM. This will test system functionality, confirm contact informaiton, and verify if registrants are current. The test alert will be sent via automated text and phone call and followed up by a personal phone call to registrants and emergency contact numbers, if needed. The alert will say "[City Name] Wellness Check: You or a family member are registered in the Texas Emergency Assistance Registry. This is a City of [City Name] STEAR alert system test. Please respond according to the following prompts."

I have been in this field longer than some of you have been on this earth. I love long term care. I remember when we restrained everyone to "keep them safe from falling". Things have changed. Some for the better and some not. But the need for care is still there. It is harder than when I first started because people leave the hospital so much quicker. The challenges are greater but the need for care is still there. The question is not do we need long term care. The question is how can we meet the needs.
