Medication adherence can help overcome health concerns and manage symptoms of acute and chronic conditions, yet many people struggle with sticking to their medication schedule. High costs, physical or mental impairments, mistrust of a healthcare provider and side effects can all contribute to improper #MedicationAdherence. When #PrimaryCare providers take time to build a trusting relationship, they can work together on overcoming these hurdles and set patients on a sustainable treatment path. https://lnkd.in/gHW-ZF5v

Mobility is crucial to more than physical health. The ability to participate in group and outdoor activities has a significant impact on a patient's mental and emotional health, too. Our #PrimaryCare centers address this connection by providing group exercise activities like line dancing, salsa, or tai chi. Even when patients have limited mobility, they often find value in the social interactions. Read some ideas for activities with limited mobility: https://bit.ly/4cyEN9G

Historic healthcare disparities for older LGBTQ+ adults have fostered mistrust in care. As our Senior Medical Director, Dr. H. Todd Kepler, DO, MBA mentions in his interview with WDTN-TV, it is vital to pay attention to broad aspects of a patient's life: behavioral health, mental well-being as well as social determinants of health. If providers can identify problems upstream, they can "better utilize community resources and care for that person." #PrideMonth Read more from WDTN-TV: https://bit.ly/4cHJX2w
