Since becoming CEO of LifeLong Medical Care, I’ve witnessed the profound impact Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) have on our communities. Yet, many remain unaware of the value these institutions bring. As someone who began my journey in healthcare as a registered nurse, I feel deeply driven to share the vital role FQHCs play in transforming lives. Far more than clinics, FQHCs are the backbone of community health, providing essential services to underserved populations with an unwavering commitment to high-quality, accessible care.

Why Every Doctor Should Volunteer Medical Check-Up Camps ? Beyond the clinic walls lies a world where access to healthcare is a struggle. Participating in medical health check-up camps isn't just volunteering - it's a chance to be a champion for preventive care! Here's why every doctor should consider joining the cause: -Early detection saves lives: Catch health issues before they snowball. Camps can identify silent killers like hypertension or diabetes, leading to timely intervention. -Reaching the underserved: Not everyone can afford regular checkups. Camps bridge the gap, offering vital screenings to those who might otherwise go untreated. -A fresh perspective: Camps expose you to a diverse range of patients and conditions, enriching your clinical experience and fostering empathy. Community connection: Doctors become trusted figures, educating communities about preventative health and empowering them to take charge of their well-being. Together, we can make healthcare accessible for all. Are you ready to be a check-up champion? Join a camp near you!

Did you know that Children’s hospices rely on grants and charitable donations to provide vital services to children and their families - from play to medical care, to respite care and advocacy? Without services such as these provided to my family and our daughter, I don’t know how we would have coped during her short life. Community NHS support is a postcode lottery with long waiting lists, so the closure of a children’s hospice should worry everyone - even if you’re fortunate enough to never need one. What can you do? ✅ Support your local hospice by taking part in fundraisers, volunteering or donating. £40 provides an hour of nursing care ✅ Follow and support charities like Together for Short Lives, which further supports families of children with life-limiting conditions (for example, we were gifted a mini break to make memories and received the Butterfly Fund to assist with funeral costs) ✅ Write to your MP and sign petitions to ensure vital services aren’t lost and vulnerable children can live their lives with dignity and care.
Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, Liverpool 's decision to close at the end of 2024 is very difficult for the children and families who receive care from the hospice, the staff who tirelessly provide it and all those in the local community who support it. We know that this will have been a very challenging decision for Zoe’s Place’s trustees to make too. Our thoughts are with them all at this difficult time. Together for Short Lives commits to working with professionals and services in Merseyside to help make sure that the children and families affected by this decision can access the palliative care they need, when and where they need it.

Did the rules change regarding wound care as reasonable and necessary? The rules did not change, but there has been a recent increase in Pre-Claim Review (PCR) non-affirmations when wound measurements and other clinical documentation is not submitted. In order for the wound care to be considered reasonable and necessary, the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual Chapter 7 – 40.1.2.8 Wound Care states, “the.....
