Compass Community Health

Last week, during the Health Center Fly-In, Summer Kirby, CEO of Compass Community Health, and Teresa Rios-Bishop, COO of OACHC, met with Brooklynn Souza, Staff Assistant to @michaelrulli.

More than half of the Ohio health center network is represented on this meeting - the power of advocacy at its finest with @berniemoreno. All sharing the urgent need to pass funding for Community Health Centers before it expires this month. #ValueCHCs

It was a pleasure to meet @RepDaveTaylor today! We look forward to making OH-02 healthier and vibrant together! #ValueCHCs

Helping patients re-enroll has been a major focus for Community Health Centers: Nearly 70% of #Medicaid disenrollments in the past year have been attributed to administrative errors, reports @commonwealthfnd More: commonwealthfund.org/blog/2024/taki…

Go on a journey with @MedLinkGA! Their winning video from 2023 toured primary care locations with dental, behavioral health, on-site pharmacy, and school-based clinics. Learn about submitting #NHCW24 contest entries: healthcenterweek.org/activities-eve… #ValueCHCs youtube.com/watch?v=sDfr6k…

""We see you" means that we see patients, but we see the person first." Health centers support the LGBTQ+ community year-round in pursuit of #healthequity for all. #ValueCHCs 🏳️‍🌈

Community Health Centers offer compassionate, patient-centered care for every phase of life. Providing team-based primary care in one place encourages parents and their newborns to receive all the services they need, regardless of their ability to pay. #ValueCHCs 👩‍🍼

Much appreciation to @SenSherrodBrown - we know you #ValueCHCs and thank you for signing on to the FY25 Appropriations letter to continue robust funding for the Community Health Center Program! We applaud your leadership and commitment to Ohio CHC patients and communities!

We are celebrating our tremendous nursing team this week! They consistently go above and beyond in everything they do, and their dedication to helping others is unmatched. #HHSCelebratesNurses #OACHC #CCH #NursesMakeTheDifference #ValueCHCs

Mental health is vital for overall physical health and well-being. Community Health Centers recognize patients as whole people and are uniquely able to offer primary care, behavioral services, and other health services in one place. 🧠💪 #ValueCHCs #MHAM2024 #MentalHealthMatters

#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth Remember: There is no health without mental health! #MentalHealth is just as important as physical health, and asking for help is a normal part of life. You should never feel like you have to take on the world 🌎 alone. #MentalHealthMonth #MHAM2024

"I myself was an agricultural worker," and Community Health Centers "ensure that agricultural workers are informed, educated, and they feel welcome to receive the services they deserve." Thank you, Rocio, from @amplahealth, for sharing at #AgWorker24! #ValueCHCs

"Advocating for CHCs is important to me because I know the hardship that farmworkers endure in getting healthcare...I was a migrant farmworker. Not only did I become a board member, I became an elected official so that I could advocate for legislation." #AgWorker24 #ValueCHCs

Community Health Centers save the lives of black mothers and babies by meeting them where they are, providing primary & postpartum care, and addressing social determinants of health. Share your programs that are helping this effort! #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BMHW24 #ValueCHCs

"Health centers are lifelines offering inclusive care to all." During National Minority Health Month, we know that #ValueCHCs can #BeTheSource of culturally competent care to reduce disparities and improve health outcomes. Together, we help end health care inequities! #NMHM2024

Health centers are here for their communities! By securing increased mandatory funding and a continued level of annual funding, CHCs will proudly be the one-stop shop for their patients' health care needs, right in their community. Be the change that you want to see! #ValueCHCs
