3/4 of Americans over the age of 65 have a chronic condition. In many cases they will live with that condition their whole lives. For these patients, visiting their doctors isn't a once-a-year thing. At VillageMD we are looking for ways to help patients take care of themselves and stay as well as they can for as long as they can.

I’ve voiced on here before there’s a difference between long term care buildings and short stay buildings and the easiest way I can tell who is serious about being a short stay facility leader and valued hospital partner- They have case management and they have social services. And they aren’t interchangeable. If you want to be a leader in short term rehab stays and hospital partnerships- Invest in your case management.

As healthcare providers, we’re (rightfully) usually focused on improving health and well-being. Death is not something that most of us talk about much, either in our personal or professional lives. Just like birth, it’s something that happens to everyone and is an important topic that we can and should be talking more about. Can healthcare providers provide death care? Is death care part of health care? How can we support patients and their families to bridge the gap between end-of-life care and after-death care? Is there more to death preparation than getting a will (spoiler: there is)? If you’re interested in answers to these questions and more, I highly recommmend this event. I attended in person and it was such a transformative experience. This one is online on Friday, Oct 13 (what better day?) and $20. https://lnkd.in/gqbDnGTS

Navigating the sensitive transition with grace and compassion. End-of-life care is more than a service; it's a sincere commitment to honoring the final chapters of life's journey. Let's discuss the importance of quality care. #endoflifecare #compassionatecare

"We desperately don't want to experience shame, and we're not willing to talk about it. Yet the only way to resolve shame is to talk about it" Brene Brown Yesterday's Rebellious Health newsletter is about some of the barriers and the stigma healthcare professionals experience when they too need help. For years I was my own worst enemy. Ashamed, burying and suppressing what I felt whilst wearing an effective mask at work so no one else would know, comparison-itis and internally feeling as though I was a failure for not thriving in the system. Letting go, leaning into vulnerability, breaking down these barriers and healing through 'rebellious' modalities that aren't mainstream in our healthcare system (but very much should be) has all been part of the long journey to where I am today. I'm passionately angry about what the healthcare system is doing to break so many caring and dedicated professionals. I'm worried about the exodus of clinicians. I believe there is a wealth of untapped creativity, innovation and ideas actively being suppressed. Rebellious Health is here to address these concerns with an innovative and disruptive idea that could reignite purpose, and reimagine a new healthcare ecosystem. What barriers have you faced trying to help yourself? What do you think needs to change to combat these barriers? #burnout #nhsworkforcecrisis #healthcareprofessionals #rebellioushealth
