A model that pools payer funds for key services could be the answer to rural health's financing woes. My latest for @medcitynews explains why, with insights from @BSLABACH, @MHA's Tim Moore & @UABNews' Dr. William Ferniany & more.

Happy #SuperBowlSunday America! Whether you’re into the game, the commercials, or the snacks, the #SuperBowl is always better w/ public health. If you practice food safety and moderation, get vaccinated, clean, cover & contain, and don’t drink and drive, then everyone wins!

Imagine having an obstetric emergency in rural Minnesota on a day like today #mnwx
Sometimes, even when rural hospitals remain, they close their obstetric units. “What’s left are maternity care deserts in some of the most vulnerable communities, putting pregnant women and their babies at risk," says @katybkoz, a @PublicHealthUMN policy professor

I've seen this in my daughter's classroom when she was teaching, I now see it in my grand children's classrooms. How about you see this image in your mind just before just before clicking Tweet or Post. It may change your mind before you share your next thoughts or RT others.
This is an elementary school poster that reminds children what they should think about before speaking — solid business and @Twitter use advice:
T: is it true?
H: is it helpful?
I: is it inspiring?
N: is it necessary?
K: is it kind?
