Outstanding Civil Air Patrol National Conference in Kansas City hosted by Missouri Wing! Great breakout sessions, networking, and meeting lots of folks I had only known online! #civilairpatrol
Rural hospitals and health centers should not face a $100,000 barrier to recruiting physicians. Congress should pass H.R. 7961 and protect the primary care workforce serving underserved communities. #ClinicsToCongress#FamilyMedicine
Community health centers and the NHSC bring care and clinicians to communities that need them most. Congress must pass a multi-year funding agreement before these programs face a year-end lapse. #ClinicsToCongress#FamilyMedicine#ValueCHCs
Represented Affinia Healthcare at A.T. Still University's Clinical Partner Breakfast during the recent NACHC CHI conference in Las Vegas! Good to see Dr. Kim Perry, ATSU Chief Partnership Officer (left), and Gaylah Sublette, President of ATSU’s Missouri campus (right), again!
Just returned from the great 3-day NACHC CHI conference in Las Vegas! Huge event, outstanding sessions, not one but two rooms of exhibitors, and lots and lots of walking! Not much chance to see Vegas -- but I lived there for six years as a kid, so no biggie. #chicon26#ValueCHCs
We closed #CHICon26 with a General Session focused on connected care, technology & the patient-majority board model—& celebrated Melvin Dizon, DSW and James Schultz, MD, with NACHC Achievement awards. 👏
A fitting close to three incredible days with the CHC movement. #ValueCHCs
Participated in a visit by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and US Reps Wesley Bell and Emanuel Cleaver to Affinia Healthcare's Ferguson site to highlight the lifesaving impact of Medicaid and the vital role community health centers play as America’s healthcare safety net. #ValueCHCs
Participated in the inaugural St. Louis Area Regional Response System's St. Louis Urban Area Operational Readiness Summit at SLU on August 3 -- in my roles at Affinia Healthcare and Missouri Wing Civil Air Patrol.
Enjoyed welcoming Libby Thurman, Vice President of PCA & HCCN Relations at the National Association of Community Health Centers to Affinia Healthcare's Lemp facility last week during National Health Center Week! #ValueCHCs#NHCW26
Affinia Healthcare kicked off National Health Center Week showing appreciation to our staff for their extremely hard work and dedication to our patients and organization. Thank you to Scoops of Joy for stopping by a few of our health centers last week.
Medicare physician payment has fallen 33% since 2001 after inflation. Congress should pass the bipartisan Patients First Act (H.R. 9693) to provide a permanent inflation-based update and invest in comprehensive primary care. #ClinicsToCongress#AAFPAdvocacy
Congress is home, and family medicine is speaking up. This August, we’re asking lawmakers to pass H.R. 9693, protect CHC/NHSC funding, and pass H.R. 7961 to strengthen access to primary care. #ClinicsToCongress#FamilyMedicine
Community Health Centers strengthen communities through whole-person care. This story from the @AmerMedicalAssn highlights how @MarysCenter is connecting healthcare, education, and family support to help communities thrive. #ValueCHCs
