Another great panel moderated by @mccarthyjohnb featuring the great work in North Carolina of @betseytilson @jrlumpkin & @DeniseNeunaber

#USofCare2019

@jrlumpkin talks about supporting the “Drivers of Health” like housing, job support, transportation & nutrition.

By looking at outcomes systems can drive change not just for their patients, but improve health for ALL

#USofCare2019

@DeniseNeunaber shares what is needed to get someone stably housed:
-Affordable housing
-Appropriate services
-Reliable income

This is accomplished w/
-Housing support & services- everyone needs a realtor!
-Financial support - “moving sucks! It’s hard & expensive”

#USofCare2019

@mccarthyjohnb points out that “Silos of excellence” exist within states➡️How do you get effective cross-agency collaboration?

@betseytilson talks about NC Care 360 - which aligns social services & health care

#USofCare2019

@betseytilson says NC asks the question — “How do we finance HEALTH”

How do we leverage #Medicaid dollars for HEALTH? Look at “midstream” factors
🔹Food
🔹Housing
🔹Interpersonal Violence
🔹Toxic Stress

We can improve outcomes & ⬇️ cost focusing on these levers

@jrlumpkin highlights the importance of COMMUNITY-driven solutions.

Excited to see what the @mnhealth Community Solutions for Healthy Child Development grants produce🙌🏾
