?? FQHCs: A Mission of Care, Compassion, and Community ?? Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are more than healthcare providers—they are lifelines for the communities they serve. With a mission to ensure access to affordable, high-quality care, FQHCs play a vital role in addressing health disparities, especially in underserved populations. During my time as a Director of Pharmacy at an FQHC, I witnessed firsthand how impactful these centers are. One patient’s story still resonates deeply with me: ?? A single mother of three walked into our clinic, balancing work, family, and a chronic health condition that required expensive medications. She felt overwhelmed and hopeless, unable to afford her treatment while providing for her children. Through the resources at our FQHC, we were able to: ? Help her enroll in patient assistance programs, significantly reducing her medication costs. ? Provide tailored medication counseling to manage her condition effectively. ? Offer support services that connected her with other community resources. ?? Over time, she regained her health and stability, becoming an advocate for others in similar situations. It was a reminder that healthcare isn’t just about medicine—it’s about empowering lives. FQHCs don’t just treat patients; they build healthier communities by addressing the root causes of health inequities. Every visit, every prescription, every supportive word matters.

Mobile integrated health (MIH) and community paramedicine are emerging health care models that deliver health care outside of traditional settings like hospitals and clinics. By delivering health care in homes and community settings using providers like community paramedics, there is an opportunity to help address growing workforce shortages, expand access to care and improve patient outcomes. We are excited to announce we have partnered with the Patterson Family Foundation on their recent $1.5 million grant to the Missouri Emergency Medical Services Association to launch a groundbreaking pilot program in six rural counties across Kansas and Missouri to demonstrate the effectiveness of MIH. The participating pilot sites are Dickinson, Franklin and Kingman counties in Kansas, and Caldwell, Carroll and Ray counties in Missouri. ??LEARN MORE: https://lnkd.in/e8TjFKjs

Mistakes can happen when providers lack proper training in affirming care, and these missteps can have lasting impacts on patients’ well-being. From misgendering to overlooking specific healthcare needs, inadequate training can hinder trust and create barriers to care. It’s crucial for providers to seek ongoing education and training to ensure they deliver respectful, inclusive, and knowledgeable care to all patients. Luckily, I can help with that!
