New Report - Implementing High-Quality Primary Care: Rebuilding the Foundation of Health Care
Category: Volunteer Advocacy Opportunity
May
06
Description (provided by The National Academies of Science Engineering and Medicine)
High-quality primary care is the foundation of the health care system. It provides continuous, person-centered, relationship-based care that considers the needs and preferences of individuals, families, and communities. Without access to high-quality primary care, minor health problems can spiral into chronic disease, chronic disease management becomes difficult and uncoordinated, visits to emergency departments increase, preventive care lags, and health care spending soars to unsustainable levels.
Unequal access to primary care remains a concern, and the COVID-19 pandemic amplified pervasive economic, mental health, and social health disparities that ubiquitous, high-quality primary care might have reduced. Primary care is the only health care component where an increased supply is associated with better population health and more equitable outcomes. For this reason, primary care is a common good, which makes the strength and quality of the country's primary care services a public concern.

What happened last week at the NH State House
This was a very light week for House committees and there was no House floor session. The Senate held a floor session yesterday, April 22nd.On Wednesday the 21st, the Senate Health & Human Services Committee heard HB 381, relative to laboratory testing. NHNPA had not earlier identified this bill as a priority but the Dupont Group had monitored it in the House. NHNPA decided to sign in in opposition, after being alerted by the NH Medical Society. Several medical professionals, including House and Senate members who are doctors, testified in opposition at Wednesday’s hearing but judging by questions posed by the Committee members, it appears this bill may pass the Senate as easily as it passed the House. There is a strong Libertarian caucus in the Legislature this year. The Committee is scheduled for an executive session on Wednesday the 28th.

Please see the message below provided by Healthcare Worker Voices of NH. Here is a link from a recent WMUR story about the group - click here.
We hope many of you will join our new and rapidly growing nonpartisan grassroots advocacy group, Healthcare Worker Voices of NH. Our mission is to lift up and amplify the voices of a diverse group of healthcare workers to improve healthcare for all.
We are an independent, nonpartisan, grassroots group that seeks to amplify the individual and collective voices of healthcare workers to improve healthcare for all.
Our first project is a messaging campaign to enhance public confidence in Covid vaccinations by demonstrating widespread support from healthcare workers known in their communities.
We are excited that a very diverse group of 1050 NH HEALTHCARE WORKERS has already agreed to "take the pledge" in support of vaccinations after just 6 WEEKS of grassroots outreach.
WE WELCOME ALL HEALTHCARE WORKERS WHO LIVE OR WORK(ED) IN NH, IN ANY CLINICAL OR NON-CLINICAL ROLE, IN ANY HEALTHCARE SETTING (OFFICE, CLINIC, HOME CARE, LONG TERM CARE FACILITY, HOSPITAL, ACADEMIC, RESEARCH, NONPROFIT, PUBLIC)
We hope you will join us and encourage others to 'take the pledge'.
All my best,
Bob

NHNPA is seeking volunteers for two different Regional Coordinator positions: the Upper Valley and North Country. This is a great way to network within your region and serve the statewide association.
The role of the Regional Coordinator is to champion the practice of NPs in their region by demonstrating values of integrity, excellence, leadership, respect and service to NPs in New Hampshire. Regional coordinators are non-voting members of the Board of Directors and are invited to participate in Board meetings and retreats. The regional coordinators also meet on a quarterly basis as a team (virtually). They participate in efforts to increase membership, coordinate regional activities to offer networking opportunities and educational events to support local NPs throughout the year. Regional events will vary. We have some seen some very creative ideas: book/article discussions, potlucks, dinner out, industry-sponsored dinners with presentations from drug reps at local restaurants, virtual meet and greets, webinars and more!
