BMHC Board President, The Honorable Dr. Larry Wallace, Jr., Ph.D., co-authored a health-equity-focused article with Dr. Norman Chenven, MD., of Austin Regional Clinic, and David Stein, CEO of Babson Diagnostics, called "Three Guys Walk into a Conference And...", in the July 2024 Edition of the Austin Medical Times Magazine. What is unique about this collaborative piece is how it was born. Three guys, who come from very different places—a medical group, community care coordination, and a diagnostics company—met as they all sat on a panel at the 2023 Healthier Texas Summit hosted by It's Time Texas in collaboration with the University of Texas System. However, they all had one question in common and that is: "How do we remove barriers, make access to care easier, and reduce any fear and anxiety related to getting medical help?" They all acknowledged statistics show the health equity gap appears to be more acute in Texas than in many other states. According to their article, our state recently ranked poorly across 24 healthcare metric determinants spanning across four categories: access, outcomes, cost, and quality of care. They also agreed the challenge of improving care is big and complex, but the place to start is with preventative care.

Hand & Upper Extremity Orthopedic Surgeon | Leadership Expert | KOL in Musculoskeletal Heath | Speaker | Amazon Best-Selling Author
Advocating for Healthcare as a Right: A Conversation with Congresswoman Lucy McBath At the National Orthopedic Leadership Conference, I had the honor of meeting with Congresswoman Lucy McBath, a leader who truly understands the needs of her constituents and fights daily for improved access to care, particularly in rural Georgia. Her passion for healthcare equity is clear—she believes that healthcare is not a privilege but a fundamental right that every Georgian should have access to, regardless of where they live or their socioeconomic status. During our discussion, Congresswoman McBath highlighted the unique challenges faced by rural communities, where access to specialists, timely care, and even basic health services is often limited. She has made it her mission to address these disparities, advocating for policies that close the healthcare gap and ensure that no one is left behind, no matter how remote their location. Her tireless work reflects her deep understanding of the struggles her constituents face, especially those in underserved areas. Whether it’s pushing for expanded healthcare coverage or improving the availability of essential services, Congresswoman McBath is on the front lines, advocating for solutions that benefit all Georgians. What resonated with me most was her unwavering belief that healthcare is a right. This principle fuels her advocacy and drives her to push for legislative changes that prioritize patient care and access. In a time where healthcare inequities are glaringly evident, Congresswoman McBath’s leadership reminds us that we must continue to fight for a system that works for everyone—urban, suburban, or rural. Her commitment to ensuring that every Georgian has access to the care they need inspires me and reinforces the importance of advocating for healthcare policies that serve all communities. #HealthcareAdvocacy #RuralHealth #PatientCare #HealthcareIsARight #PhysicianLeadership

Experienced healthcare research leader committed to attracting in, speeding up and spreading out research access for all.
We are preparing the expand the National Contract Value Review process for all Phases of research next month! And what a journey it has been so far… This wonderful video is a timely boost for this work. It gives insights on delivering commercial research from the Primary Care setting and mentions the impact of expanding this process beyond secondary care NHS Organisations. This is enabled through a voluntary sign up scheme for Primary Care organisations, which is managed through the NIHR working with system partners across the UK. The intention behind establishing a consistent and predictable approach for costing and contracting is keep making it easier to set-up and access research on the places where the UK’s patients are. Let’s keep going! There’s always more we can do. #IamNIHR #changemakers #NCVR https://lnkd.in/eRfVqX58
