Barnsley Council’s Post

We know that pharmacies in rural areas are important access points for healthcare and we'd love to hear thoughts from rural pharmacies at this session next week!

Over the past several months, our department has embarked on a transformative journey to revamp our mission, vision, and values. This collective effort was driven by a desire to better reflect our current work and aspirations for the future. We engaged in thoughtful discussions, gathered diverse perspectives, and collaboratively shaped a new framework that embodies our dedication to community health and empowerment. Our Mission: Community Health Worker Initiatives (CHWI) aims to support community-based health initiatives that build community power and improve health outcomes. Our Vision: CHWI envisions achieving health equity and social justice across New Mexico’s diverse communities through empowerment, education, and a community health lens. Our Values: - Equity - Advocacy - Compassion - Integrity - Community Care These revised statements not only guide our current initiatives but also pave the way for future endeavors. They underscore our commitment to fostering community power, achieving health equity, and promoting social justice. As we move forward, we are excited to continue working towards these goals, guided by our shared values and collective vision.

🌟 Houston: Let's Build a Healthier Future, Together. 🏥 As head of Community Health Choice, I see firsthand the impact of limited healthcare access on our community. While complex systems and outdated processes create barriers, they shouldn't define health outcomes. Our neighbors, friends, and families deserve better. 💪 Here's what's on my mind: 🧠 The struggle for coverage: Many Texans face significant challenges navigating enrollment systems, leaving them vulnerable to health risks and financial burdens. 💼 The impact on individuals: Delayed or missed care due to lack of coverage leads to poorer health outcomes, perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage. ⏳🩺 The power of community: Together, we can help each other overcome these challenges. Let's shift the narrative: 🔄 Empowering neighbors: By offering support and navigating resources, we can help ensure everyone has access to the care they need. 🤲💡 Advocating for change: Our collective voice can influence policies that prioritize equity and simplify enrollment processes. 📣✊ Celebrating progress: Record ACA enrollment and increased subsidies provide glimmers of hope, showing what's possible when we work together. By fostering collaboration and advocating for accessible healthcare, we can build a healthier, more vibrant Houston for all. 🌆💙 Join me in this critical conversation. Share your thoughts, resources, and experiences in the comments below. Together, let's make a difference. 💬🤝 #CommunityHealth #HealthcareForAll #HoustonStrong 🌟
