The rapidly aging population, health reform and
the tradition faith-based organizations of meeting the needs of the times, all
point to a growing role of Catholic health care and other faith-based providers
in serving older persons. Building on the conversations started at CHA’s 2010
Catholic Health Strategy Summit, this webinar explored how faith-based health
care providers, throughout the continuum of care, can better integrate care of
older and chronically ill persons through community-based programs. Health
policy writer, Howard Gleckman presents an overview of provisions of the
Affordable Care Act that are driving care integration and provides an overview
of community–based integrated programs. Nationally recognized leader on how
religious communities can impact health and wholeness, Gary Gunderson describes
the Memphis Community Health Network. This is a model for connecting
faith-communities and health care providers in order to improve the health of
communities.
