Weโ€™re proud to recognize Healthcentric Advisorsโ€™ Stephanie Baker, who recently served as a keynote speaker at the West Virginia Health Care Associationโ€™s 2026 Annual Convention & Vendor Expo, celebrating the associationโ€™s 50th anniversary!

Alongside Kathleen Lancaster of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Stephanie presented โ€œSUDs in LTC: The Massachusetts Model,โ€ highlighting Massachusettsโ€™ work to improve substance use disorder care in long-term care settings, as well as related efforts underway in Connecticut and Rhode Island.

It was a great opportunity to share experiences, highlight the work happening across our region, and connect with others committed to improving care for individuals with substance use disorders in long-term care.

September is Month.๐Ÿ‚

Falls donโ€™t have to be a normal part of aging. Simple steps like staying active, reviewing medications, getting regular vision and hearing checks, and making the home safer can help older adults reduce their risk of falling and maintain their independence.

The National Council on Aging offers tools and resources to help older adults, caregivers, and health care professionals take steps toward preventing falls.

๐Ÿ”— Explore falls prevention resources:

One in four Americans age 65+ falls every year. Being common doesnโ€™t make falling a normal part of aging. Learn why older people fall and how to take fall prevention precautions.

Health care organizations are encouraged to take time now to review emergency preparedness plans and prepare for potential impacts, including strong winds, heavy rain, flooding, power outages, transportation disruptions, and staffing challenges.

Stay informed by monitoring local forecasts and updates from emergency management officials, and make sure your organization is prepared to respond if conditions worsen.

A little preparation now can make a big difference when severe weather strikes.
