Proud of @LifesparkBeYou for supporting seniors & their families especially with more urgent needs. The difference between overuse of the ER is often listening & guidance towards the right next steps. ttps://www.mngoodage.com/health/2024/09/bringing-urgent-care-into-the-home/

There’s good reason Minnesota is moving medicine out of the emergency room and back into the living room https://t.co/GnhwwfYQXH via @MinnPost @LifesparkBeYou

[Joel Theisen @Lifespark_CEO]

Thank you, @medcitynews for sharing this piece. The pandemic certainly opened up opportunities for how we can better serve people at home, especially for more urgent needs. We can do better than use the #ER as the default when serving seniors. @LifesparkBeYou #AgeMagnificently

TY @modrnhealthcr for including @LifesparkBeYou in this piece. You can't be at full risk and not address how to prevent unnecessary ER visits for seniors and #payors. Great momentum in this space.

TY @medcitynews – Politics aside, #PresidentCarter is a beautiful example of what starting hospice early can do. Not a death sentence, but an opportunity to live fully while you can. Remarkable lesson in how you age magnificently. https://t.co/lu37tQPfOv @LifesparkBeYou

[Joel Theisen @Lifespark_CEO]

TY @StarTribune & @dr_schneeman – #Physicaltherapists are the unsung hero in the complete senior health team. Important to recognize their value and where we can create change to entice more to enter the field. @LifesparkBeYou https://t.co/6PBPjPaL04 #ChoosePT #PTTransforms

TY @modrnhealthcr - #MedicareAdvantage is the program with the best chance to improve health for seniors while trimming bureaucracy and costs for taxpayers. With a push for shared accountability, we can make it work. https://t.co/Djr63pqjqV

Seniors are prescribed too many drugs. Tx Dr. Nick for addressing issues of #polypharmacy & #drugcascading. A complete senior health team is key along with senior-savvy pharmacists! TY @Time for publishing this! @LifesparkBeYou https://t.co/97AAnV5zwW

[Joel Theisen @Lifespark_CEO]

This video=pure MAGNIFICENCE. Our teams are sparking lives & setting new benchmarks for the #seniorhousing industry AND our athletes are demonstrating Aging Magnificently in action and it is incredibly inspiring. TY @ahcancal @LifesparkBeYou https://t.co/vEY8DGl0oB

[Joel Theisen @Lifespark_CEO]

TY @MinnPost this is an important piece. Seniors and their families should expect more from their #healthplans. We are proud to partner with two of the best who do this well. #AgingMagnificently #changingaging @ucaremn @BlueCrossMN

OPINION | @Lifespark_CEO, chief executive of @LifesparkBeYou

“Minnesotans should demand more from their health plans and question the status quo.”

Our voice are one of many in the industry making noise on this topic. Now I ask you: If YOU could change one thing about the #healthcare #payment landscape, what would it be? TY for the dialogue Tim Mullaney @skilled_nursing @LifesparkBeYou https://t.co/vm49d4kYab

[Joel Theisen @Lifespark_CEO]

This is AWESEOME! When we throw the words “Aging Magnificently” around, we MEAN IT! Delivering this type of meaningful connection and community for those we serve, as well as those that serve, is incredible. TY @LifesparkBeYou https://t.co/Z08v6NlD8N
