adult primary care essex :: Article Creator UVM Medical Center Eyes $8.6 Million Primary Care Project UVM Medical Center. File photo by Mike Dougherty/VTDigger [U]niversity of Vermont Medical Center is planning an $8.6 million expansion of its primary care services in Chittenden County, new state documents show. Amid a statewide shortage of adult primary care services, hospital administrators have proposed a new facility in Essex that could handle up to 10,500 additional patient visits annually. It would be twice the size of the hospital's current Essex practice and would add seven new staff. The practice also would include an in-house psychiatrist and a drug and alcohol counselor as part of a statewide and nationwide effort to integrate such services with medical care.

Not contained, new cases: three questions on vaccines and the Ebola outbreak in DRC | Democratic Republic of Congo | Médecins Sans Frontières - Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) International

What’s happening with the response to the Ebola epidemic in DRC?

The Ebola epidemic in east Democratic Republic of Congo is still not contained. More than 1,600 deaths from the Ebola virus have been reported since the outbreak was first declared on August 1, 2018 and, during the first seven months of the epidemic (August 2018 to March 2019), over 1,000 confirmed and probable cases were declared. 

Between March and June 2019, this number doubled, with 1,000 new cases in what’s a short period of time. The end of April was the peak, with more than 120 cases a week. There’s still a huge amount of new cases, between 75 and 100 every week. In a context like this, it’s extremely difficult to accurately track the epidemic’s chains of transmission.

During the outbreak in 2014, all that could be done was to isolate patients and administer them largely ineffective drugs. With the vaccines and experimental drugs available to us in 2019, we’re now able to offer people the chance to protect themselves individually as well as access to promising treatments.

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
