No Better Time: June 16
Tuesday, June 16, 2020
10:00am – 11:00am EST
What is really being done to address how health-related social needs such as loneliness and food insecurity are affecting seniors in Medicare Advantage?
The COVID-19 pandemic isolated tens of millions of seniors from their loved ones, exacerbating their medical conditions. Prior to the pandemic, research has shown that there was a 45 percent increased risk of mortality in seniors who report feeling lonely. While government and industry know this is a risk and are taking steps to address it, how can the health care industry better protect the mental health of seniors for whom physical distancing is not going away? What can we do to address how racism and racial inequity are affecting the ability of communities to address health-related social needs? How can government and industry better work together to help improve mental and physical health outcomes? The panel also will explore how the challenges stemming from COVID-19 are creating new partnerships.
Tune in to our Humana YouTube channel to watch this live webinar.
