As we round up for the Easter break, what's a great example of leadership you've seen recently? Here's an example of visionary leadership from Shlomit Schaal, MD, PhD, MHCM and her team at HOUSTON METHODIST HOSPITAL. Recognising and appreciating the intrinsic value of your leaders as whole human beings and not just professionals has a ripple effect. Everyone starts feeling better about themselves and will be more likely to interact with and encourage others in the same way. It's a win-win. Bravo to Houston Methodist for modelling this so well.

Hospital rankings, such as those by U.S. News & World Report, are significant for hospitals and patients alike. They offer a benchmark for healthcare quality and can influence patient choices and hospital reputation. However, some hospital administrators question the rankings' authority and importance, suggesting a nuanced view of their impact. Creating a healthier future is crucial for communities as it enhances overall well-being, reduces healthcare costs, and fosters a supportive environment for sustainable development. It leads to improved quality of life and longevity for community members. #unitedseniorassociation #USA #eldercare #FDA #seniorliving #ADA #AI #NIH #patientcare #compliance #hospitals #OIG #healthcare #HHSOIG #digitalhealth #HSS #CMS #assistedliving #nursinghomes #seniorcare #medicare #seniorcitizen #homehealthcare #caregiver #dementia #inhomecare #seniorhealth #kloekorby #alzheimers #mentalhealth

Proactive and supportive #healthcare is vital at every stage of our lives. If we care for our total well-being throughout our lives, the aging process should be easier. Long-term healthy living typically means less clinical intervention through procedures, medications, etc., lessening the chances of developing debilitating diseases. We should always champion ourselves and our loved ones to stay healthy and seek proactive care. However, some issues may still arise regardless of how we care for ourselves, such as #alzheimersdisease and #dementia. Sometimes, our loved ones suffer from these debilitating health issues, and we end up with the all-consuming job of full-time #caretaker . Full-time caretaker is not a job anyone plans for or wants. And very few people have the skills to navigate elusive diagnoses, rapidly changing health needs, and the stress that comes with "all the things." Who to go to and what to do are constant questions. Recently, my father, Mel Garber (Director Emeritus, UGA Archway Partnership, Professor Emeritus, Horticulture), was featured in an article featuring The University of Georgia's CARE program that provides clinical, research, and outreach center called the Cognitive Aging Research and Education Center, or CARE Center. It is heartening to see support like this becoming more known and commonplace to support this much-needed area of healthcare for both patient and caregiver. https://lnkd.in/eTBuCnTB
