"More than 15 million Californians receive health care through the Medi-Cal program. Too many of them have a hard time making use of their benefits because their local providers don’t accept Medi-Cal patients," Katie Heidorn tells @SNYJimenez @CHCFNews. https://t.co/xdDoSLhz8s

New from CHCF blog: California medical school leaders discuss Prop 209 lessons and implications for building a diverse health workforce in light of SCOTUS affirmative action ruling.

They're candid — it hasn’t been easy. But can be done.

The health system cannot fix every part of the homelessness crisis, but it has an important part to play: treating health issues so people are stable & healthy enough to stay housed & live independently. Read findings from @ucsfbhhi’s #CAHomelessnessStudy https://t.co/Mf2uGllFtE

“Telehealth is the best thing that’s come out of COVID.”

On The CHCF Blog, hear from a heart attack survivor in Riverside about how #telehealth has made obtaining care easier for both herself and her family.

"The study’s authors say the findings highlight the idea that money, more than addiction, mental health, poor decisions or other factors, is the main cause of – and potential solution to – homelessness."

“I couldn’t have gotten this place without that help,” Malloy, 60, said. “When you don’t have housing, everything turns into a cascade effect. You can’t manage everything and stay healthy.”

Today I’m learning all about #CommunityHealthWorkers and the important work they do to promote health and well-being.

To quote Kara Carter: They've been serving California communities for decades, and now it's time for us to serve them better. ⁦@CHCFNews⁩ #CHCFbriefings

[Sarah Jimenez | she/her @SNYJimenez]

Yes! Story time is magical - no matter one's age.

This made me think about why audiobooks can resonate in a different and fun way. 🎧

Great piece from @EdSource

Exactly.

So let's ensure equitable education and health care for all children and youth move forward.

"'Parents’ rights,' like “states’ rights,” is quite particular. It’s not about all parents and all children and all the rights they might have."

Everything @innocence drops in my inbox makes me stop and read.
So moved by all their humanity and work.

[The National Center for Youth Law @NCYLnews]

Girls and young adults frequently come into contact with the justice system because of arrests for running away, substance abuse, and truancy – all of which are also common symptoms of abuse. #Justice4Survivors

[The National Center for Youth Law @NCYLnews]

Rather than supporting victims and survivors, the criminal legal system has abused and failed survivors, further discouraging people from reporting their trauma. #Justice4Survivors

“'The art of dependence'” means accepting aid with grace and, crucially, recognizing the importance of others."

With great thanks for the *many* people I know - and never met - who have made my education, caregiving, and so much around me possible.
