We're proud to have Darla at the helm of our population health operations to support our colleagues who power Sharecare's disease management, coaching, and advocacy services – and we hope you'll join us in celebrating her in the comments section and learning more about her at the link below!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and, this year, Georgia's State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) hosted its 2024 Mental Health Awareness Month Summit, bringing together over 350 leaders across the Peach State's public school system, including school counselors, benefit/payroll managers, HR directors, nurses, superintendents, and wellness ambassadors.   Themed "A Path to a Resilient State of Mind," the summit showcased SHBP’s commitment to raising awareness, providing resources, and promoting open dialogue around mental health issues for their members through the Georgia Department of Community Health BeWell SHBP® Well-being Program. Hosted in collaboration with several of SHBP’s well-being partners, the summit featured two days of engaging programming, including sessions led by Team Sharecare such as the “Mind, Body, and Movement” stretch series, morning yoga, and activities like raffles and healthy smoothie demos.   Additionally, on the first day of the summit, Sharecare’s Dr. Beth LaGrange took the stage to share her previous experiences from working in high-stress institutions including the New York State Master Teacher Program and Rikers Island Correctional Facility. She emphasized the benefits of positive psychology practices and mindfulness, including cultivating traits such as gratitude, kindness, and self-compassion, and provided attendees with actionable strategies to enhance their well-being and that of their students.   To dive deeper into Dr. LaGrange’s insights and strategies, follow the link to read her post-summit blog post. We're inspired by the commitment shown by SHBP and all participants at the summit and are excited to continue this conversation.

Working with our professional non-medical caregivers, Sharecare's vice president of clinical home care programs, Matt Shapiro, MD, MS, has witnessed how our home care platform, CareLinx, can help improve health outcomes and increase cost savings by deploying tech-enabled caregivers into the home to support patients after their discharge from the hospital.     Highlighting a recent case at one of the largest non-profit health systems in the Northwest, Dr. Shapiro writes on the Sharecare blog about how home care can play a critical role in reducing hospital admissions and patients’ total length of stay. This has not only translated into meaningful reductions in total cost of care, but also – and perhaps most importantly – demonstrated how in-home care can provide individuals the immeasurable gift of being able to age in place with dignity and to live happier, healthier lives, for longer.     Learn more about the life-changing impact of our highly-vetted and qualified caregivers: https://lnkd.in/gRenbxhy
