Special Medicaid funds help most states but prompt oversight concerns

Emanuel Medical Center in rural Georgia racks up more than $350,000 a month in losses providing health care for low-income and uninsured patients. But a new state funding proposal could significantly reduce those deficits, not just for the 66-bed Swainsboro facility but for most rural hospitals in Georgia, according to state Medicaid officials.

It’s not Medicaid expansion, which Georgian Republican leaders have rejected. Instead, the state Department of Community Health is using an under-the-radar Medicaid funding opportunity that has been rapidly taken up by more than 35 states — including most of the states that have expanded the government insurance

mental health and wellbeing in the workplace – RoSPA Workplace Safety Blog

More than ever before, mental health is a topic for open discussion in the media, within our social circles and of course at work. Mental health and wellbeing is all about how we think, feel and behave, and is usually caused by a reaction to a difficult life event, which can be caused or made worse by work-related issues. In particular, working in isolation away from managers and colleagues can add stress to a workforce that is already facing a significant amount of pressure.

The scale of the problem

Globally, an estimated 264 million people suffer from depression, one of

Is Joe Biden a Stealth Socialist?

There may be deep divisions within the Republican universe these days — over trade, Ukraine, Trump, Fox News — but there’s one unifying assertion: President Joe Biden is hell-bent on taking the United States down the road to socialism.

Biden’s new budget proposal, with high taxes on the mega-rich and expanded medical help for the working- and middle-class, has only fueled the attacks that go back at least to the 2020 campaign. It was the dominant theme of the GOP convention; it’s how National Review attacks Biden’s student loan forgiveness program; it’s how Nikki Haley and Matt Gaetz decry the

Plans for riverfront should include support for the Mental Health Offender Program

The Duval County jail in downtown Jacksonville.

The Duval County jail in downtown Jacksonville.

There has been a great deal of discussion lately about the future of downtown, specifically the riverfront area. Included in this is a recognition of the need to relocate the jail facility away from the downtown riverfront. This naturally turns to a question of cost.

No one — and I mean no one — wants to spend money on a new jail. However, I would like to point out a positive in this otherwise expensive and unpleasant situation.

Approximately two years ago, a diverse group came together to create a local Mental Health

Continuity Planning?

Thinking back to Monday 16th March 2020 I remember getting up early. I was due to visit one of our homes in Tewkesbury. I was just about to leave the house when an email landed from a senior Director telling us all to ‘Hold’ all visits and to be ready for a conference call that morning. Yes, this was the start of the ‘Lock Down’. With the benefit of insight, how ready were we for what was about to happen next?

Our management team had already undertaken various strategic planning exercises. On the 16thth March, a
