CEO Susan Glasgow spoke to Lisa Owen.

The leader of a kids charity says it's a bleak situation for some families heading into the school year. KidsCan, which offers schools help with uniforms and food, has 70 schools on its wait list. Chief executive Dame Julie Chapman told Roman Travers that 20 of those have applied since the middle of last year.

“Charity Care is the best kept secret in healthcare.” says Eli Rushbanks "Only 29 percent of the people who should be helped by 340B, are helped."If, like me, you have not heard about Charity Care or Dollar For, I am glad you're here!  This podcast will tell you about both Charity Care and the nonprofit, Dollar For.  I learned about the program during a webinar by Patients Rising.You'll learn more about your rights regarding healthcare, and about the help that's out there.If you're overwhelmed with medical bills, confused by insurance, your rights and about getting help, this podcast will be a wonderful education. Eli Rushbanks is an attorney who works at the intersection of medical debt and consumer protection. He currently is the General Counsel and Director of Policy & Advocacy at Dollar For, a patient advocacy non-profit that helps patients apply for hospital financial assistance. In that capacity he works with patients, advocacy groups, lawyers, state and federal regulators, and hospital leaders to improve patient access to and experience with financial assistance. He helped build Dollar For from the ground up which, so far, has helped relieve over $60 million in debt for nearly 20,000 patients. His work has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and NPR. His reports on charity care policy have been cited by the CFPB and have been the basis for class action lawsuits for charity care violations. Eli says, "Fourteen percent of people who applied to a hospital for Charity Care, never heard back from the hospital.  There is not uniformity on how these programs are run." Terry Wilcox is the Chief Mission Officer with Patients Rising. Terry says that 340B sounds like a tax form, not something that patients know about. It's not just to help patients, it's to help hospitals too. But there has been some misuse of the program, “Expanded from 4 billion between 2000 and 2009, then the A.C.A codified the fact that they could expand, it ballooned to 66 billion dollars. And hospitals now have beautiful wings in their hospitals.”The 340B Drug Pricing program was implemented by Congress in 1992 and it allows hospitals to purchase drugs at significant discounts to serve vulnerable populations. The program was originally added so that hospitals could treat underserved communities and help them stretch their resources.To learn more about Dollar For: https://dollarfor.orgTo learn more about Patients Rising: https://www.patientsrising.org/event/midday-masterclass-340b-in-focus-history-impacts-and-state-level-realities/  Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Thanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Project 2025, an initiative aligned with several policy proposals for a potential future administration, has sparked concern among college students, particularly in Houston, regarding the future of student financial assistance. The plan proposes several sweeping changes to the current structure of student loans and financial aid, which many students and educators fear could significantly impact access to higher education.One of the central recommendations of Project 2025 is the termination of student loan forgiveness programs. Currently, these programs provide relief to students who have taken on significant debt, particularly those entering public service fields or who demonstrate consistent repayment over a period of years. The potential removal of these forgiveness opportunities raises concerns about the financial burdens on graduates, especially those with lower income levels or those pursuing careers in fields that traditionally offer lower salaries.Moreover, Project 2025 suggests the privatization of student loans. This would transition the administration and distribution of student loans from a federally managed system to one overseen by private financial institutions. Advocates of this approach argue that it could increase efficiency and expand options for students. However, critics worry that privatization may lead to higher interest rates and reduced access to loans for students who are deemed higher risk, such as those from low-income backgrounds or with no credit history.Additionally, in certain scenarios outlined by the initiative, there is the potential for structural changes to the Pell Grant program. Pell Grants currently provide critical financial aid to low-income students, reducing the barrier to entry for higher education. Changes to this program could restrict access or reduce the financial support available, further exacerbating the financial challenges faced by many students.The proposed changes come at a time when the cost of higher education continues to rise, and students are increasingly reliant on loans and financial aid to fund their education. The potential implications of Project 2025 have ignited discussions and debates among students, educators, and policymakers about the future of higher education funding in the United States.As the details of Project 2025 continue to be deliberated, the uncertainty surrounding student financial aid remains a critical concern. Stakeholders are actively engaging in dialogue to address these concerns and advocate for policies that support equitable access to higher education for all students, regardless of their financial background.

Send us a Text Message.On this episode of Speaking of…College at Charleston, we talk about the college admission process with Jimmie Foster, Vice President of Enrollment Planning at the College. The conversation covers various aspects of preparing for college, from when to start thinking about applying to understanding the importance of grades, extracurricular activities and campus visits. Foster addresses common misconceptions about college admissions, the reduced significance of standardized tests like the SAT and the holistic review process adopted by many colleges. Foster offers advice for parents on supporting their children and emphasizing the importance of finding the right fit financially, academically and socially.Foster's take away advice is that campus tours give students the opportunity to preform a bench Test. “Every student should have that moment where they can sit down for just five minutes by themselves on a bench somewhere on that campus and just watch and get that feel of campus to know if they can see themselves here.” Featured on this Episode:Jimmie Foster Jr. is vice president of enrollment planning as of May 2023. In this role, Foster leads the Division of Enrollment Planning, made up of the Office of Admissions, the Visitor Center, the Office of Financial Assistance and Veterans Affairs and the Office of Enrollment Information.Foster returns to this position at the College of Charleston after spending three years as vice president of enrollment management at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.Foster's experience at the College spans more than a decade where he held several roles including vice president of enrollment planning and director of first-year student admissions. Foster also served as dean of admissions and orientation at Northeastern University in Boston. He began his career in admissions at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.Before moving into higher education, Foster worked on national political campaigns, including time on a U.S. Presidential campaign. He has been a presenter at national professional development conferences including NACAC, ACT/NRCCUA and Ruffalo Noel Levitz.Foster has enjoyed being a part of the College's First Year Abroad Experiences where he has been involved with the UK Soccer Experience course since its inception in 2012.

They also offer educational services to help patients navigate the healthcare system and make informed decisions about their healthcare. They are reaching out to patients through physicians, pharmacies, patient advocacy organizations, and faith-based and community-based organizations. Accessia Health aims to improve overall healthcare outcomes by using online tools to reduce emergency room visits and help patients adhere to treatment plans.   Tiara explains, "Accessia Health is a national nonprofit organization. We're a patient assistance organization that supports individuals with rare and chronic healthcare conditions. I think we all have been impacted or have been in the healthcare system to receive care, and we know that the cost of care is extremely high. So, our mission is to serve as a safety net for those individuals who cannot afford their care. I love our tagline, "We speak health and human," because we realize the human side of healthcare in that we're people first, and individuals are not necessarily defined by their condition. However, we also understand what it means to navigate the healthcare system. We want to do our part to stand in the gap for them and help them with their costs so that they can focus on their healthcare journey." "We also provide educational services. We have a webinar series, Amplify Your Voice, Control Your Care, where we want to give those individuals tools for success, helping them navigate the complex healthcare system to make informed decisions about their healthcare. So, it may be a topic on, "How do I properly communicate with my physician?" Or it can be a topic such as, "What does the Inflation Reduction Act mean for me?" However, we want to ensure that they understand their healthcare so that they can make the appropriate decisions." #AccessiaHealth #PatientAssistance #FinancialAssistance #RareDiseases #ChronicConditions AccessiaHealth.org Listen to the podcast here

Raise your hand if you've ever received orders to see a patient with head and neck cancer AFTER they've started (or completed) radiation and/or surgery. A million times yes. It's one of those common cases where speech-language pathology is an afterthought. But in reality, we should be brought into the discussion before any treatment begins! Katie Moore is all too familiar with this, which is why she passionately advocated for a head and neck cancer program in her department AND for specialized training to address complex impairments (like post-radiation fibrosis and lymphedema.) Tune in to this week's episode of The Swallow Your Pride Podcast to hear how Katie implemented a new program and rallied for support for SLPs to achieve the level of training they deserve.

In episode 18 of The Healthcare Hangover, David Contorno and Emma Fox discuss their recent trip to Dallas and a new project they've been working on. They also talk about the challenges of the healthcare system and the need for a holistic approach to fixing it.Tune in to hear their insights and find out how you can get involved in making a difference in your own community.TIMESTAMPS[00:02:43] Lack of Access to Healthcare.[00:08:14] Prescriptions and Financial Assistance.[00:11:45] Financial Assistance Programs at Nonprofit Hospitals.[00:15:02] Providing Healthcare to the Uninsured.In this episode, David Contorno and Emma Fox delve into the pressing issue of individuals in certain communities who are unable to afford essential medications and healthcare. They even highlight that as individuals age, they often require maintenance prescriptions for common health issues like blood pressure. However, the cost of these medications can be exorbitant, leading many to forgo necessary treatments and appointments.Overall, David and Emma emphasize the importance of understanding the various assistance programs available and the distinction between medical and prescription coverage. While some programs require individuals to be uninsured, others may still be accessible to those with insurance. Taking a holistic approach to healthcare is crucial, addressing the issue from all angles simultaneously to prevent the problem from resurfacing in more detrimental ways.QUOTES"The goal is to bring direct primary care into these communities for short periods of time, kind of like pop-up DPC, to serve these folks who don't have access to health care." - Emma Fox“the most common misconception around these programs when people find out about it, is that it doesn't matter if you have insurance. It is not for only the uninsured. It's also for the underinsured." - Emma Fox"I feel like I have the opportunity and our plans do that every day when I can get someone who does have a job who's clearly doing the right thing, but they still can't afford their medication or their surgery or their tests, and then I can get it done for them. that feels really good. And it doesn't feel like charity. It feels like getting them what they should have been entitled to anyway." - David ContornoSOCIAL MEDIA LINKSDavid ContornoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dcontorno/Emma FoxLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmamariefox/WEBSITEE-Powered Benefits: https://www.epoweredbenefits.com/Emma Fox: https://emmamariefox.com/
