In honor of Older Americans Month, Community Catalyst has released a video on "Building Bridges to Better Health" which emphasizes the power of the Voices for Better Health collaboration between consumer advocates and geriatrics providers to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable older aduts.
This collaboration has increased the effectiveness of state advocacy efforts around demonstration projects to integrate care for people with both Medicare and Medicaid. Working nationally and with Community Catalyst's partner states, Voices for Better Health draws upon the expertise of leaders in the geriatrics community – physicians, gerontologists, nurses, social workers and other providers and researchers – sharing best practices to improve efficiency, quality and outcomes in the demonstration projects. With people of color making up a large percentage of the dually eligible population, Community Catalyst also see this work as helping to build another important bridge – to health equity for all.
