We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff who put together thoughtful baskets for the Veterans residing in our scattered site homes. Each basket was lovingly prepared and included a Cornish hen, a box of macaroni and cheese, a box of stuffing, a packet of instant potatoes, a packet of gravy, a can of green beans, a can of corn, a can of cranberry sauce, a small apple pie, and a cooking pan. It was truly heartwarming to see Mr. Lawhon when he came to pick up his basket. The joy on his face showed just how much these gestures of care and support mean to our Veterans. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

My key takeaways: 1) listen to your end users 2) put your own assumptions and biases aside 3)low tech is innovation 4) failure happens 5) trust the process Thanks to Pletly and NewCourtland for hosting.

Today, I had the fantastic opportunity to present DignaCare to the nursing leadership team at NewCourtland Germantown, led by the inspiring Pam Howard and Ruth Wheeler. ?? Not only was it exciting to share how DignaCare can enhance quality of life for those in need while optimizing resources for caregivers, but I also received valuable feedback on where and how DignaCare can fit into the U.S. long-term care and homecare market. A big thank you to New Courtland for being forward-thinking leaders in elder care and for the insightful discussion. ????

NewCourtland has reposted with permission a recent?Health Affairs Forefront?by Senior Fellow, Professor of Nursing, and Director of the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health Mary Naylor and Kathleen Noonan, director of the Camden Coalition. ? In the piece?“Building A Longitudinal Community Supports Model,” the two experts share ideas for effectively meeting the health-related social needs of vulnerable populations in community settings as a wave of 1115 Medicaid waivers are granted to states. ? They note, “As our nation ages, with the need to address more mental health and loneliness challenges than ever, it is time to design new place-based care models that capitalize on the strengths of our old-style institutional care and current approaches to community-based services.” ? Thank you, Dr. Naylor, for acknowledging our impactful work. Our vision is clear: we are dedicated to ensuring equitable access to a healthy life. NewCourtland fulfills this mission by combining housing options, healthcare, and social services, enhancing the quality of life for those we serve. Our success stems from a rich 150-year commitment to leveraging our deep experience in community-based settings throughout Philadelphia. https://lnkd.in/eEkuH2DG

Representative Joseph Hohenstein closed out the day at #EmpathyTech with a message to innovators who aim to create welcoming and inclusive products: There is a pressing need for this technological movement. Legislative efforts are already underway in other states, such as Kansas. Rep. Hohenstein shared that he is currently collaborating with the Temple Institute on this initiative, which seeks to ensure that access to state information and communication technologies is equitable and inclusive for everyone, including individuals with disabilities.?As a legislator, he understands the importance of taking action in this area. He is dedicated to giving a voice to the voiceless and serving communities that often lack these essential services.
