We are proud to once again be certified as a #MostLovedWorkplace!

The emotional well-being of our associates and the communities we serve is the focus of a campaign we launched today in support of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. “Culture, Community and Mental Health Care” will highlight how cultural differences, community factors, and access to mental health services can affect a person’s perceptions and response to emotional health issues. Through a series of special programs and learning courses, associates will learn from wellness experts about self-care and how to identify and support the mental health struggles of others. Program topics include the culture of poverty, gender-affirming mental health care, and mental health in the community. #BehavioralHealth #EmotionalHealth #SelfCare

Health care privacy and patient protection is a tenet of our company as much as it is a regulatory requirement. So we were pleased our President of Medicare Markets, Chris McDade, was tapped to share his expertise for an #AARP story on HIPAA and the rights people have individually and as caregivers to access and correct medical information to help ensure quality care.

The challenges of ensuring patients take prescribed medications was the topic of a recent Artcraft Health podcast that featured one of our pharmacy leaders, Andrew Maiorini, Vice President of Clinical Programs at PerformRx, part of AmeriHealth Caritas. The episode is the fourth in a series called “Conversations that Impact Outcomes,” during which host Lisa Moss Calderwood interviews medical experts on ways to improve health outcomes through educational efforts that can help transform patient behaviors. Drew addressed factors that often interfere with medication adherence, including the social determinants of health and chronic illnesses, and shared best practices that are helping health plans and practitioners improve outcomes. https://lnkd.in/ecEuqetr #MedicationAdherence #SocialDeterminantsofHealth #PBMs
