eVolve Health and Wellness Community

Happy July! This is news to some and a reminder to others, but wherever you fall, we are ready when you are. #HealthLiteracy #HealthEquity  #PatientsAndCaregivers #HealthcareOrgs #HealthcareProviders #eVolveTaughtMe  #ImproveHealthOutcomes #ShiftNarratives #TransformHealthCare #LetseVolve

In doing business, I want to make room for disappointment and lessons as I do for celebration and wins. #Balance #Perspective #Authenticity #Vulnerability Got a couple of no's recently (among others) , but one thing for certain and two things for sure is that the work will continue. Just documenting and accepting the journey while preparing for our next client(s), contract(s), speaking engagement(s), partnership(s), etc. If any of our offerings have improved how you navigate the healthcare system or how you deliver care (in the realm of health literacy and health equity), it would be greatly appreciated if you share with your folks. #ImproveHealthLiteracy #AdvanceHealthEquity #LetseVolve #HealthcareChangeAgent #Patients #Caregivers #HealthcareProviders #HealthcareOrganizations

Hi there! We’re back with another #eVolve360 where we discuss at least 3 points in 60-ish seconds about health literacy, health equity, patient advocacy, etc. to benefit patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and healthcare organizations. March 10-16 is #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeek so we’re discussing boxed warnings also/formerly known as black box warnings for medications. There is the saying that what you don’t know won’t hurt you, but sometimes it can. A study found that 4 out 10 people received a least 1 medication with a boxed warning when looking over a 30-month period of time. This is just the starting point...getting your feet wet, if you will. If you are a patient (or caregiver) and need support preparing for healthcare appointments, speaking with providers, reviewing and understanding health information and ensuring you know all of your options, lets connect. If you are affiliated with a healthcare org and would like to unpack more about communicating with patients using our exclusive framework, then lets connect to discuss opportunities for consulting, training and speaking engagements. At eVolve, we navigate the peaks and valleys of health and wellness journeys together and seek to make a difference, one patient encounter at a time. #BoxedWarnings #BlackBoxWarnings #eVolve360Series #360View #PersonalHealthLiteracy #PatientsAndCaregivers #OrganizationalHealthLiteracy #HealthcareOrgs #HealthcareProviders #PrimaryCareProviders #eVolveTaughtMe #HealthLiteracy #HealthEquity #ShiftNarratives #TransformCulture #LetseVolve

Hello and welcome all new folks to eVolve Community! As a reminder to some and intro to others, this is exactly what we do. Speak up! To ensure that healthcare is delivered in ways that are equitable and easy to find, understand and use in order to improve health outcomes and enhance well-being. I’m Terri, aka #TheHealthLiteracyGuru and #PatientAdvocacyBaddie. I’m the Founder, CEO and Visionary that curates content and training for our partners, that consist of patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and organizations. I really do not play about my clients. When patients and caregivers are faced with illness, it can be hard to think straight and when healthcare providers/orgs are making decisions within a system heavily dicated by bias, it truly pays to have a skilled advocate and consultant at the table. If you like the sound of this and this space aligns with you, then make yourself comfortable and let us know how we can help you. #HealthLiteracy #HealthEquity #PersonalHealthLiteracy #PatientsAndCaregivers #PatientAdvocacy #OrganizationalHealthLiteracy #HealthcareOrgs #HealthcareProviders #ProviderCompetency #eVolveTaughtMe #ShiftNarratives #TransformCulture #LetseVolve Source for definition: https://lnkd.in/emjWYi-6

2 on 2/22! ______ To eVolve: Happy birthday, girlfriend --so proud of you!  Keep doing the good work of improving health literacy, advancing health equity, shifting narratives in healthcare and transforming culture... all while navigating the peaks and valleys that come along with maintaining health and wellness for your partners. #HealthLiteracy #HealthEquity #PersonalHealthLiteracy  #PatientsAndCaregivers #PatientAdvocacy #OrganizationalHealthLiteracy #HealthcareOrgs #HealthcareProviders #ProviderCompetency #eVolveTaughtMe #ShiftNarratives #TransformCulture #LetseVolve

What a year it has been! 1. We covered over 20 topics tied to personal or organizational health literacy. 2. We presented at a professional health literacy conference. 3. We hosted 2 eVolve Community Conversations. 4. We were featured on 2 podcasts. 5. We offered 12 #MeditationMondays. 6. We released 7 eVolve 360s Social media is often a highlight reel of wins, but the challenges and opportunities are rarely captured. One thing about me is I believe in keeping it real! While I am so proud of what has been accomplished this year, it hasn’t all been glam and glitter. There were days when I was frustrated, confused and even contemplated if eVolve is the right direction for me. Through the peaks and valleys, I found my way back to my YES! The work we do is so valuable for patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and organizations. Thanks to all who have been rocking with us and spreading the word about our efforts to improve health literacy and advance health equity. I look forward to working with more clients, securing more partnerships, giving more presentations, increasing engagement, more learning, more growing and more eVolving in 2024. And more: ✨Being HER. ✨Doing it scared. ✨Speaking truth even when my voice shakes. ✨Appreciating the journey. ✨Releasing what isn’t serving. ✨Pivoting when necessary. Until next time, take good care ya’ll!!! #HealthLiteracy #HealthEquity #PatientAdvocacy #ShiftingNarratives #TransformingCulture #Patients #Caregivers #HealthcareProviders #HealthcareOrgs #LetseVolve

Another #eVolve360 where we discuss at least 3 points in 60-ish seconds about health literacy, health equity, patient advocacy, etc. to benefit patients, caregivers, healthcare providers and healthcare organizations. Today’s 360 focuses on the impact of language in medicine. The term “poor historian” can be quite stigmatizing and it doesn’t account for an incredibly complicated healthcare system along with complex terminology. Healthcare professionals, please remove this term from your vocabulary. Healthcare systems, please remove barriers that make it difficult to collect a solid history. This is just the starting point...getting your feet wet, if you will. If you are a patient (or caregiver) and need support preparing for healthcare appointments, speaking with providers, reviewing and understanding health information and ensuring you know all of your options, lets connect. If you are affiliated with a healthcare org and would like to unpack more, then lets connect to discuss opportunities for consulting, training and speaking engagements.
