Now to put the spotlight on @COHealth - who have been a fantastic supporter of @CroakeyNews from soon after we first set up as a non profit organisation. Read more about their work here: cohealth.org.au #AppreciationDay #HealthEquityMatters2023 #CroakeyFundingDrive

Why might a community health service support public interest journalism? Perhaps because @COHealth has a holistic view of health & works for health equity. As they say: "We pursue health & social equity through care for individuals, care for community & care for society."

At @CroakeyNews, we also value @COHealth's interest in contributing to public debate about health. So often this is driven by powerful professional/commercial interests; community health sector brings impt perspectives that are impt for addressing health equity concerns #SDOH

For example, here is @COHealth sharing news on the importance of policy responses to address poverty - so critical for health, and yet an issue receiving relatively little attention generally in health debate. #SDOH #AppreciationDay #CroakeyFundingDrive

You can find out more about @COHealth in their latest impact report: cohealth.org.au/wp-content/upl… #AppreciationDay #CroakeyFundingDrive

As climate disruption intensifies, it will become increasingly vital to have strong, well-resourced comprehensive primary healthcare sector inc social services & support. If you aren't already following @cohealth_au across all the socials, then get on it this #AppreciationDay
