One in four people on Medicare live with mental illness, but less than half receive #MentalHealth treatment, NPR shares.

As part of our care teams, we provide behavioral health specialists when patients need that support. https://n.pr/3xvKYLW

In an interview with IHI, our very own Amanda Mohammed-Strait MD, BCFM, FAAFP recalls a recent conversation with a patient struggling to receive the #healthcare she needed: “She said, ‘If I called on my own or my family members called EMS, I wouldn't be taken seriously.’" This familiar reality underscores the importance of Dr. Mohammed-Strait’s work in building trust with patients. By investing the time to understand the conditions, challenges and inequities their patients face, physicians can be greater advocates for patients and help influence better #PatientOutcomes.
