Way to go, Bois Forte Tribe and Minnesota, on helping to save lives from #opioidoverdose and providing basic health needs. I've collaborated with many #IndigenousCommunities in the USA and Canada, and this program warms my heart with the impact it will have. "According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the #NativeAmerican population had the highest drug overdose death rates in two consecutive years with 42.5 deaths per 100 thousand people in 2020 and 56.6 deaths per 100 thousand people in 2021." "A Northland reservation is the first tribal nation in the state and country to introduce Public Health Vending Machines. The goal of the machines is to provide access to basic healthcare needs to anyone on the reservation, free of charge and free of stigma. Pam Hughes, a Bois Forte tribal member, helped to launch the machines on tribal land last month. "An item in those machines will save someone's life," said Hughes "Most people who are using substances, don't want to die, and in today's drug market fentanyl is really potentially every where and so giving people the basic right to life through a vending machine is really miraculous," said [Dr. Melissa] Walls [Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health researcher on the program] #substanceusedisorder #opioidcrisis #healthprevention #indigenouspeoples #UofMN #johnshopkinsuniversity #populationhealth #publichealth #healthequity https://lnkd.in/eXzixWaZ

"Farmers' markets help expand fresh produce access if there are no grocery stores, but many times it is hard to get to one or both if neither exists nearby." Access Family Health Services is changing that by making their farmers’ markets provide ways for patients to afford produce and obtain medicine. Read more in our latest blog from Terrence M Shirley, MPH, CEO of the Community Health Center Association of Mississippi, as he explains this innovative framework. https://lnkd.in/gRYiEcBg #ValueCHCs #FoodIsMedicine

Support services are such an important and often undervalued service within the hospital system. Food is a wonderful way to demonstrate care. Giving people options when so many other things have been stripped away is a valuable way of showing people that they matter as does their self-determination when it comes to controlling what they can to support their health. Great initiative and share. May this be a positive change that the entire service implements and sustains. #microsystemimprovements #servicedevelopment #highvalueimpact
