We had the pleasure of attending the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) Partner Conference this week and left feeling even more inspired and energized. There's nothing like connecting in-person with so many champions for #CHCs from across the country. #FQHC #FQHCs #CHC #communityhealth #valuechcs

Our partners' goals are our goals. So when the team at Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center needed help reaching out to patients to encourage them to schedule a mammogram, Yuvo Health Clinical Quality Outreach Manager Teresa Valerio picked up the phone to make the calls. The high-touch approach is nothing new for Teresa. She has extensive experience in patient engagement, most recently serving as a Population Health Program Manager overseeing a team of six patient care coordinators skilled in addressing diverse cultural and demographic needs. ? This outreach is part of the end-to-end support we bring to our FQHC partners. It's a comprehensive approach that is delivering results, including an overall?65% improvement in quality performance?across?all?measures for which we have full-year data for 2022 and 2023.

It was a quintessential "autumn in New York" day recently when Yuvo Health team members Lynae Picou, MSHCT, BSN, RN, Holly Oh, and Trenair Royal MHA, PMP, PCMH CCE visited with our partners at Advantage Care Health Centers. We love coming on-site and learning more about how we can help our #FQHC partners meet their performance goals. #FQHCs #CHCs #VBC #valuebasedcare

“As a member of the Yuvo Health IPA, we now have the ability to partner and network with other, like-minded FQHCs," says Anthony Fortenberry, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Chief Population Health Officer at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. "We have already begun independently sharing best practices with our fellow IPA partners.” A major advantage of the Yuvo Health IPA is that FQHC members gain insights and ideas from each other - leaders facing similar challenges and opportunities. Last week, we held our IPA meeting in New York where members could leverage this learning collaborative in-person, while we also discussed performance over the past year, shared successes and strategized for what's coming up in the year. It's always a pleasure to share space with this inspiring group, including #FQHC partners Advantage Care Health Centers, East Harlem Council for Human Services, Inc., Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center, METRO COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS INC, and Ryan Health. #FQHC #FQHCs #CHCs #CHC #communityhealth #vbc #valuebasedcare

Are you looking for ways to strengthen your services for the veteran community, who have unique medical, behavioral health and social needs? The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) has created a robust toolkit of resources to help health centers provide impactful veteran-focused services and initiatives that you can find on their website, here: https://lnkd.in/ghDtURbi #Veteranhealth #CHCs #FQHCs #communityhealth

Earlier this month, Advocates for Community Health (ACH) released "The critical role of 340B at FQHCs." The report is a must-read, especially for those of us who understand the value health centers bring to their communities and the challenges they face doing so. The 340B Drug Pricing Program allows covered entities like FQHCs to get outpatient drugs at reduced prices, lowering drug costs for vulnerable patient populations. FQHCs rely on 340B not just as a cost-saving measure, but as a necessary revenue stream. As ACH says in the report, "The financial impact of these savings cannot be overstated, as they allow FQHCs to stretch their already scarce federal resources as far as possible, enhancing their services and expanding their reach in often overlooked communities." Read the report for more on: ?? How FQHCs are using 340B to enhance their services ?? Why 340B is becoming less reliable for FQHCs ?? Proposed solutions to protect FQHCs' ability to participate in 340B Huge thanks to Amanda Pears Kelly and the team at Advocates for Community Health for creating this robust report. https://lnkd.in/gWDbw7Y8 #FQHCs #CHCs #communityhealth #340B #VBC #valuebasedcare

We're people people, so we love the opportunity to meet face-to-face. This fall, the U.S. and India-based members of our technology team came together in India for a mix of team-building and strategizing. These are the talented folks making it possible for our FQHC partners to: ?? View a patient's full health history at the point of care ?? Access health data from multiple disparate sources in one complete profile ?? Navigate seamlessly through solutions integrated with existing EHRs ?? More efficiently and effectively engage patients with the help of a text messaging platform ?? Better identify, engage and care for their patients! Earlier in the year, many members of our team came together in Texas for our first in-person retreat. We're so grateful for the whole Yuvo team, dedicated to our mission of ensuring every community health center can provide compassionate care to their entire community. #VBC #valuebasedcare #healthit #CHCs #FQHCs #communityhealth

When you're one of our FQHC partners, we want you to see our team as an extension of your team. We love to come by to learn more about you and the people you serve, share successes and talk through challenges. Holly Oh, Trenair Royal MHA, PMP, PCMH CCE, Lynae Picou, MSHCT, BSN, RN, and Tasha Scott of our Performance Team spent last week joining several of our FQHC partners on-site. At Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, they couldn't help but notice how the colorful building sets the tone for the inclusive feel that permeates inside. #FQHCs #Healthcenter #communityhealth #CHCs
