Assisted living communities have incentives to reduce hospitalizations, but where to start may be a common question. Lisa Lassiter, RPh, director of clinical services for Guardian Pharmacy of South GA, suggests a crucial step is partnering and leveraging the expertise of an LTC pharmacy. Making this step a reality requires a proven community leader, like Peggy McGhee at Willow Health Care Inc, who fully understands the benefits.

🌟 As I reflect on this Saturday, my mind is consumed with the state of healthcare. The growth of hospitals and urgent care in black communities, along with crowded parking lots and longer wait times, shows there are issues we need to address. 💡 Over a decade ago, I celebrated the opening of a community healthcare center in my neighborhood—an initiative I proudly supported as a patient and committee member. However, witnessing the proliferation of such centers now raises concerns. 📈 Wait times for doctor visits are on the rise, and we're witnessing a concerning uptick in cancer cases among young people—facts derived from data, not speculation. The cookie-cutter approach to healthcare lacks empathy, with rushed appointments becoming the norm. 🔍 As a solutions-focused advocate, I believe there's a better way. It's time to reimagine healthcare delivery, ensuring personalized care, and fostering empathy at every touchpoint. Let's work together to create a healthcare system that truly serves all members of our community🌱 #minorityhealthmonth #doctors #healthcare #publicspeaker #patientadvocate #healthliteracy #healtheducation #disparities #chronicillness #autoimmunedisease #solutionsbasedadvocate #saturday

Proving a system designed with broad equity in mind, spanning lingual, economic, and technical gaps, can help Hospitals better deliver on both their ethical and operational goals. This is a great discussion on what that looks like with Chief Digital Officer Omkar Kulkarni, MPH from Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA).
