We wrapped up our Wellness Wednesdays series for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth with a Wellness Fair, hosted by our Resident Services team!

Thank you MedCity News for the mention — “Patient engagement is essential for achieving the goals of value-based care (VBC). Success requires both novel VBC models as well as moving care beyond the clinic walls to meet patients where they are.” We couldn’t agree more. - - - “Here we name just a few among a growing number of companies that are delivering care in the home or outside the typical provider setting: Ounce of Care is a private-sector solution that, similar to New York’s MRT program, also provides coordinated care within affordable housing properties and includes services such as referrals to primary care, support in enrolling in Medicaid and food and utility assistance programs, and on-site community health events.” #medicaid #affordablehousing #sdoh #managedcare #residentservices #healthequity https://lnkd.in/gE_CWbJN

Resident services plays a critical role in supporting affordable housing communities. At Ounce of Care, we are proud to work alongside Resident Services Coordinators to connect residents to health and social services they need to live a healthy life. Thanks to Lori Stanlick and Jonathan Rose Companies for shedding light on this important topic. https://lnkd.in/gzbJY5Ji

🏠 💙 Health and housing are inextricably linked - underscored by a recent study published in Health Affairs. They found that when Tennessee rolled back Medicaid coverage for 190 K people in 2005, eviction rates grew by 25%. 🚨This is a warning for how Medicaid unwinding may impact eviction and have significant implications for the health and wellness of these communities.

In addition to Valentines, February is American Heart Month! Being active, eating a healthy diet, and reducing stress can all help with lowering your risk for heart disease. Special thanks to Dr. Tiffany Powell-Wiley with the The National Institutes of Health, Enterprise Residential C3 Cares, Giant Food, and all our special guests who contributed to our celebration of heart health with blood pressure screenings, nutritious recipes, and more!
The Institute for Medicaid Innovation just released their MCO survey, where they noted the top three barriers for high-risk care coordination. At Ounce, we're proud to be addressing these challenges by placing Community Health Leads where our members live. Our CHLs build relationships with the communities and connect affordable housing residents to essential support for healthy lives. ➡ www.ounceofcare.com #medicaid #carecoordination #affordablehousing #healthequity #managedcare
