Hot off the press: Aledade is a winner of @FierceHealth's Fierce 15, a collection of companies that are trying to change the health care industry. Our team, of course, is laser-focused on supporting #primarycare.

@only1ames Favorite tweet of the week!!!

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

So a lot of chatter happening on the slow vaccine roll out

Personally, I'm incredibly frustrated.

Did we not know that vaccines were coming? Is vaccine administration a surprise?

Several complex issues so lets break things down a bit

Warning, this is a bit of a rant

In case anyone else needed to hear this. 🤍

Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

An mRNA vaccine doesn't actually contain the virus itself. Think of it as an email sent to your immune system that shows what the virus looks like, instructions to kill it, and then—like a Snapchat message—it disappears. Amazing technology.

Finally one day I broke down and emailed that doc. I wrote, "Every single patient of yours absolutely loves you! What's your secret?"

And she answered, "It's simple. I love *them*."

Thanks to @HarvardBiz “The Insider” editor @maureenhoch for collecting stories (mine below) of #gratefulness I am forever thankful to my @AledadeACO & #aledadenation colleagues for their support this year during the immense strain of #COVID19 crisis in New Orleans this spring.

Nearly 60% of clinicians said they are not currently able to access telehealth technology directly through their electronic health records

(If anyone's interested, It's integrated into the @AledadeACO pop health software, for free)

In West Memphis, Arkansas, Dr. Susan Ward-Jones embodies the life-saving mission of a #communityhealthcenter.

Every day, she cares equally and passionately for every patient who walks through her doors.

Watch her story:

[Aledade @AledadeACO]

Last year, every Aledade health center ACO earned shared savings in MSSP.

For the 2nd of our 3-part video series "With Primary Care, For Primary Care," we take you inside one of those health centers as they care for their patients and their community.

This is Aledade!

Dr. Marc Mayer was running a fast-growing multi-specialty practice started 60 years ago by his dad. Then COVID-19 hit his New Jersey suburb, putting lives and livelihoods on the line. SO proud of @AledadeACO stepped up to help

Every 9/11, I think of the people killed on that day.

Every three days in the United States, COVID-19 kills more people than we lost on 9/11.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

I'm often asked: How can masks possibly work, the virus is so much smaller than the holes in the mask? It's a reasonable question. And there's an answer: Because the virus only travels on larger particles, which are stopped by the mask. Masks work. If we mask up.

[Aledade @AledadeACO]

Join @BlaineLNOLA and Sara Koziel at our virtual booth TOMORROW at 1 PM, as they explore the advantages of joining an Aledade ACO, leveraging the important and integrated work that your CHC is already doing, to get the credit you deserve. #NACHC20CHI

There is ZERO doubt. There were 215,000 more US deaths March-July than baseline, 71% diagnosed as Covid deaths by their doctors. The others were undiagnosed Covid + increases in deaths from Covid-disrupted care. An effective US response would have prevented most of these deaths.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Estimated cost of recent epidemics/pandemics:

SARS (2003) - $40 billion
H5N1 (2006) - $40 billion
H1N1 (2009) - $45 billion
Ebola (2014) - $55 billion
COVID-19 (2020) - $8.8 TRILLION

Investing in public health preparedness is FAR cheaper than the economic impact of a pandemic.
