BY JEFFREY LEWIS AND DR. MATTHEW SHAPIRO Special to the Journal Legacy Health Endowment’s Person-Centered Care (PCC) Program, launched in 2022 with CareLinx, stands alone in America as the only initiative laser-focused on the “forgotten middle” – middle-income seniors trapped in the Medi-Cal Gap, unable to afford long-term care yet ineligible for public assistance. By delivering professional in-home care to seniors who fall through the cracks of Medicare and Medi-Cal, the PCC Program has significantly reduced loneliness and caregiver burden, key drivers of […]

Contrario a la idea errónea de que su jornada laboral termina a las 3 o 4 p.m. y que tienen los fines de semana libres, sus funciones a menudo se extienden mucho más allá de ese horario. Lamentablemente, los empleados escolares con frecuencia descuidan su propio bienestar. A menudo están ocupados atendiendo las necesidades de los estudiantes y padres, además de las altas demandas de fin de año, dejando de lado el cuidado personal […]
- [School Employee Well-Being: Creating a Free Mental Health Solution](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/school-employee-well-being-creating-a-free-mental-health-solution/): By Jeffrey Lewis As the school year winds down, school employees and teachers become increasingly exhausted. Contrary to the misconception that their workday ends at 3 or 4 p.m. with weekends off, their roles often extend far beyond these hours. Unfortunately, school employees frequently neglect their own well-being. They are often preoccupied with addressing the needs of students and parents and high end-of-year demands, sidelining self-care and family care. The well-being of school employees encompasses their physical, mental, emotional, and social health. Despite concerted efforts by school superintendents to foster a positive school climate, combating burnout remains a persistent challenge, […]

Imagine a mother enduring sleepless nights for years or a father juggling multiple jobs while caring for his special-needs child. Nationwide, families provide an astounding 1.5 billion hours of care to support 5.6 million children with special health care needs. Many of these families shoulder this responsibility tirelessly, without a break, year after year. In the Central Valley, economic disparities and limited access to specialized healthcare services compound the challenges faced by families of children with special needs. This situation places […]

What Stanislaus parents can do.](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/experts-warn-that-social-media-is-harmful-to-young-people-what-stanislaus-parents-can-do/): Growing concerns over the negative impacts of social media on children prompted the nation’s top medical official to release a health advisory in May to protect kids. Now, a health foundation in Stanislaus County has come out with parental guidelines for social media and video games. “Our children have more access than ever before to social media and video gaming sites,” Legacy Health Endowment CEO Jeffrey Lewis said in a news release about the creation of the guides. “It is up to us as parents to help manage their screen time, know what they are doing, put in place the […]

- [Expanding Health Equity through Health Care and Payer Navigation Literacy](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/expanding-health-equity-through-health-care-and-payer-navigation-literacy/): 7 practical steps for patients Introduction Navigating healthcare decisions is difficult, especially in the United States where the healthcare landscape differs so widely from state to state, and even county to county. These decisions are made even harder when payers—any person, organization, or entity that pays for care services—often serve as an additional hurdle to accessing the healthcare services you need. Think about anytime you’ve interacted with your health insurance carrier. That’s a payer; really often two payers (one for your medical coverage and the other for your medication coverage). This patient resource is designed to explain in the easiest […]
- [Unlocking the Door to Care at Home](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/unlocking-the-door-to-care-at-home/): Download report here The COVID-19 pandemic created a cold hard reality for women and men living in long-term care facilities. The stories were and are horrific. Families could not see their mom, dad, or other loved one for months or, even worse, were not able to be with a parent or grandparent during their last hours of life. The high rates of loneliness and isolation for long-term care residents and family members will never be forgotten. The future of long-term care is not about reimagining what it could be. That process started years earlier with for-profit companies, investors, and entrepreneurs […]
- [ACCESSING LONG-TERM CARE DATA](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/accessing-long-term-care-data/): Download report In California and across the nation, far too many professionals struggle with finding accurate data and information regarding long-term care. To combat this problem, Legacy Health Endowment engaged a team of professionals at California Health Policy Strategies to provide Legacy Health Endowment with a definitive report – everything you need to know about Long-term Care. As the rural California Central Valley struggles with finding community-based long-term care services to assist both Medi-Cal and non-Medi-Cal eligible people over 55, understanding the basic challenges facing the middle class is extremely important. America and rural Californians share many things, one, in […]

That is one of the key takeaways from a recent survey of more than 1,700 caregivers and other respondents in two California counties. More than 93% of those surveyed believe it is important to have long-term care services that allow seniors and […]

Wallin Opinion Research conducted a survey of caregivers from within Stanislaus and Merced Counties (19 specific cities and zip codes) that are within Legacy Health Endowment’s service area. A caregiver provides care such as helping take an older person such as a parent, loved one or spouse to appointments or assisting them with shopping, taking medications or doing household chores. By age 40, a third of Americans are already caregivers for a loved one, and another thirty percent of the population is expected to become caregivers […]

Schools had to make profound changes in their operations to meet the demands of the pandemic, often weekly and sometimes daily. The impact of these demands took a toll on the school’s human infrastructure. School administrator s, counselors, teachers, and staff were being asked to perform superhuman tasks. Yet, each of these professionals was taken for granted. It was assumed that they could pivot at a moment’s notice, and […]

Now imagine what can happen when a struggling family has a child with autism. Without early intervention and outside support, autism can tear a family apart and leave the autistic child with debilitating behavioral problems, ruining chances of adult independence. Accessibility to quality autism care differs based […]

Oral health (dental care) is one of the greatest unmet healthcare needs of all Americans and rural Americans. The California Central Valley is a prime example of this crisis, including Stanislaus and Merced Counties. Recognizing the need for change, Legacy Health Endowment (LHE) and the EMC Health Foundation collaborated with the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry to create a report that examines the current and future dental needs of […]

Wallin Opinion Research, on behalf of Legacy Health Endowment, is the first in a series that will allow us to better help families, and particularly those with children, understand the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Of course, each demographic group has different barriers. But with a 32 percent increase in the number of children infected with Covid (as of Nov. 23, 2021), it is imperative that we explore every available message that might help parents and other adults understand the importance of having children, and themselves, vaccinated. A total of 381 […]

Six trillion. It’s a number that makes little sense to the human mind. But look at it this way: If that $6 trillion were divvied up equally, Uncle Sam could write a $40,000 check to every taxpayer. There are many positives associated with the package: direct relief payments, extended unemployment benefits, housing assistance, the child tax […]

The participants said focusing on their own wellness over the second half of 2020 was crucial to navigating the […]

The largest global pandemic in a century turned the United States into a veritable ghost town. Hospitals, sadly, remained fully operational as intensive care units overflowed with COVID-19 patients, putting a strain on the nation’s healthcare system. The heroic sacrifice of our frontline medical personnel will never be forgotten. The fight against the pandemic was, and remains, a war. Unfortunately, the coronavirus has not surrendered. The new Delta variant of the virus is lurking and is 75 percent more contagious. Today, the Delta variant […]
- [There’s no greater time to teach kids about mental health](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/theres-no-greater-time-to-teach-kids-about-mental-health/): The pandemic has impacted students across the economic divide. Their shared experience of going to school, seeing friends, attending class, and participating in school activities vanished overnight. COVID-19 forced them in front of a computer, staring at a screen alone. Robbed of their identity, some children also watched as family members or friends passed away. These students have now returned to the classroom. Some children have returned with fear in their eyes. Others hope that the pandemic will not return them to home-schooling in front of a computer screen. Whatever their concern, children often find it difficult to put their […]
- [Defining leadership before politics](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/defining-leadership-before-politics/): In 1956, John F. Kennedy, then the junior senator from Massachusetts, published “Profiles in Courage,” a collection of stories about eight U.S. senators who displayed acts of political bravery throughout history. The book would win the Pulitzer Prize and become one of the most essential works in the political science canon. I have a copy on my office bookshelf. Perhaps “Profiles in Courage” should be required reading for all elected officials because these days, political bravery is far too seldom displayed. However, there is a notable exception: Modesto Mayor Sue Zwahlen. The retired emergency room nurse has risked drawing the […]

The 340B program operates on the simple principle that pharmaceutical manufacturers must do their part to address the problem of uncompensated care in this country as a condition of Medicaid and Medicare covering and reimbursing their products. As a result of drug companies’ participation in the program, taxpayer-supported providers receive deep discounts on the drugs they purchase which helps them offset the ever-increasing costs of being unreimbursed or under reimbursed for patient care. The program, however, is […]

The Issues Spurring Discussion, Stakeholder Stances and Possible Resolutions](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/340b-drug-discount-program-the-issues-spurring-discussion-stakeholder-stances-and-possible-resolutions/): download report here THE 340B DRUG PRICING PROGRAM was created at a time when nonprofit healthcare providers were spending to ensure that patients had access to medicine to treat acute and chronic healthcare problems. Their goal then and today is to help ensure that the patient’s acute care problem did not become chronic. At the inception of the 340B program, the number of the uninsured were greater, many state Medicaid programs limited who was eligible, and access to free or subsidized medication programs was not as robust as it is today. Today, 26 years later, the 340B program has grown […]

How much should they see of the heartbreaking videos of violence? How much can they know about injustice, racism, insurrection and the immense power and responsibility that accompanies free speech? As a child psychiatrist, I think the answer is located somewhere along a curve that’s specific to your child. We want our children to learn about life’s truths without blinders on and help shape their moral compass in a healthy way, without paralyzing them with fear and […]

- [Elder Abuse Awareness Day](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/elder-abuse-awareness-day/): June 15 is Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Not a day of celebration, but a day of education and a reminder that elder abuse is utterly disgusting. Old age lamentably renders many Americans vulnerable to abuse — whether physical, emotional, sexual, or financial. Elder abuse is a catch-all phrase covering numerous types of abuse, including physical abuse, caregiver neglect, psychological or emotional abuse, abandonment, self-neglect, sexual abuse, fraud, and financial exploitation. Unfortunately, elder abuse is a highly under-recognized problem, despite being a major social and public health concern. The mistreatment of senior citizens does not receive as much attention as other […]
- [The Prescription Drug Rebate Racket: It’s Time for Change](https://legacyhealthendowment.org/the-prescription-drug-rebate-racket-its-time-for-change/): How is the cost of prescription drugs working out for you? For countless people across the country, accessing medication has become a nightmare as high out of pocket costs forced on them by their health insurers often means people have to forgo or ration the prescription medications they need to treat chronic medical conditions. State and federal elected officials continually debate how to remedy this untenable situation (as yet to no avail), including pointing out the need to reform the complicated and mysterious prescription drug rebate scheme which benefits middlemen such as Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and health insurers. Rebates, […]

Not get sick, not possibly die – they will die. More than 13 million Californians depend on insulin to manage their diabetes. Every day, thousands of lives are devastated by the staggering cost of this lifesaving medication. These are women, men, and children who often require one or more daily insulin shots. Increasingly, many of these patients are forced to ration doses, risking kidney failure, blindness, loss of limbs, stroke, and even death. The result: another public health crisis being ignored. While the average person […]
