Hospital Leaders Share Strategies To Improve Community Health On MHA’s PolicyHuddle Podcast
Health occurs in the places Missourians live, work, learn and play. An important element of how hospitals create value for patients and communities is their work in identifying the drivers of poor health and working collaboratively to address barriers — both clinical and nonclinical.
June 8-12 is Community Health Improvement Week. In the newest episode of the Missouri Hospital Association’s PolicyHuddle podcast, listeners will learn about the strategies Mercy and Citizens Memorial Hospital have implemented to connect more fully with patients and communities to improve health. Listeners will hear from the following guests.
- Gavin Helton, M.D., president of Mercy Primary Care at Mercy in Chesterfield, Mo.
- Jenna Hicks, director of quality and population health, at Citizens Memorial Hospital in Bolivar, Mo.
This edition of PolicyHuddle is approximately 20 minutes in length and available online or on your favorite podcast platform.
