$164 in #Medicaid savings per person, per month, across North Carolina’s Healthy Opportunities pilots. Dr. Julianne Malveaux makes the case that #ruralhealth is about more than hospitals. Stable housing, food, and transportation matter too. Read the full article by @drjlastword in @statesnewsroom: bit.ly/4yFx03S

Missouri’s Transformation of Rural Community Health (ToRCH) program connects #rural hospitals and community organizations to coordinate care. @Andrew_Langer points to it as a practical example of a program that is working in his recent @townhallcom op-ed. Read more here: bit.ly/4z9WIP0

In a new op-ed in The @Tennessean, Dr. Paula Masters of @BalladHealth shares how implementing a Unite Us closed-loop referral network is helping to bridge the gap between #healthcare and community-based care across #Appalachia – with measurable results.

Thanks @HealthcareITToday for including Unite Us’ partnership with @Instacart in your Bonus Features roundup. bit.ly/4jB6tRv

Great to see @HCInnovationGrp highlighting the impact happening at Sarasota Memorial! What started as a targeted initiative with First 1000 Days Suncoast and Unite Us in the Women & Children’s Department is now a hospital-wide effort to improve health outcomes through connected community care. Thank you to @DavidRaths for helping us tell this story, and to Sarasota Memorial, First 1,000 Days Suncoast, and all community partners for the work behind it. We’re grateful to work alongside you! 🤝 Read the article: bit.ly/4zQAsK9

The evidence is in, and the results are big. 🎉 Two new evaluations with Sarasota Memorial Health Care System and First 1,000 Days Suncoast show what happens when health and community care work as one: 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫. Among patients referred to community services through closed-loop referrals, the data revealed: • 𝐀 𝟏𝟕% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in 30-day all-cause readmission risk among those referred across the health system. • 𝐀 𝟓𝟗% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in the odds of postpartum-related and all-cause 30-day readmission for maternal patients insured by Medicaid • 𝐀 𝟓𝟒% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in odds of 30-day readmissions for infants • 𝐀 𝟐𝟐% 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in 30-day all-cause readmission risk among patients under age 65 📈 This data adds to a growing body of evidence that closed-loop infrastructure and a strong network of #communitypartners can improve outcomes across patient populations while creating measurable value for health systems. Thank you to Sarasota Memorial Health Care System and its community partners, including First 1,000 Days Suncoast, for leading this work and for showing the power of #connectedcare for the communities they serve. • Check out the Press Release: bit.ly/4emTjUH • Check out their hospital-wide evaluation: bit.ly/4zEKgGO • Check out the maternal & infant evaluation: bit.ly/4dJcw2H

Improving #ruralhealth means strengthening the infrastructure connecting healthcare providers with community organizations. In a new op-ed in @NCNewsline , Dr. Julianne Malveaux explains why states should sustain and scale programs like NC’s Healthy Opportunities Pilots. ncnewsline.com/2026/10/13/acc…

#FoodAsMedicine programs are growing, but a program is only as strong as its ability to reach the right person, deliver the benefit, and track its impact. And all too often, those steps live in separate systems. Our new partnership with @Instacart Health changes that, linking closed-loop care coordination directly to grocery benefit delivery and creating an easier way to manage and scale food-as-medicine programs. Thank you to @producenews for helping us tell this story! Read the full article: bit.ly/479RWoz

States have until 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟎 to obligate their first year of #RuralHealthTransformationProgram funding, with the first of 13 quarterly reports due to CMS by 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟗. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. But the bigger question is what's left standing when the federal dollars end. Building one statewide system that responds to very local needs is the challenge every state will face. But Missouri's Transformation of Rural Community Health (#ToRCH) program offers a helpful model for other #states to follow, with program data showing: 📈 900+ community services coordinated 📈 18% increase in timely behavioral health follow-up after ED visits 📈 19.6% increase in patients with controlled blood pressure Rural communities already have the relationships. What many lack is the infrastructure to make those relationships work as one system. Our new blog from Halima Ahmadi-Montecalvo, PhD, MPH and Amanda Terry, PhD, MPH looks at how #programdesign will shape RHTP's legacy: bit.ly/4zI1T91

Thanks to @medcitynews for spotlighting our new partnership with @Instacart! 🗞️ #ICYMI, we're linking care coordination and grocery benefits to make food-as-medicine programs easier to manage, operate, and scale. Learn more👇 bit.ly/4y1xQaM

Social care can improve #healthoutcomes and reduce unnecessary costs, but organizations need the right infrastructure to coordinate services and measure results. Read more from @TayJustice and Craig Manson in @HealthLeaders: bit.ly/4rIduC0

Sometimes the need is as simple as a blood pressure cuff. Sometimes it's an unhoused patient who needs a full team behind them. No matter the case, the CVS Specialty team works with Unite Us to route that request and see it through. Read the full story: bit.ly/4yrU3ju

Unite Us, Instacart Link Care Coordination and Grocery Benefits to Scale Food-as-Medicine medcitynews.com/2026/09/unite-…

The latest national data shows 47.9M people experienced food insecurity in 2024. Today, on #HungerActionDay, we're teaming up with Instacart to help address that gap. We're proud to announce our new joint solution with Instacart Health, connecting closed-loop care coordination directly to grocery benefit delivery and giving organizations a seamless way to identify eligible members, deliver nutritious food, and measure what's actually working. “𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦," said Adrienne Sherk, MPH, Associate VP of National Partnerships at Unite Us.

"𝘈𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦." Kody Kinsley, Senior Policy Advisor at the Institute of Policy Solutions, Johns Hopkins, and former Secretary of Health and Human Services, North Carolina, put it plainly during last week's 𝘙𝘰𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 webinar, a conversation on what it takes to actually improve health outcomes in #ruralcommunities. In North Carolina, he helped test that idea directly by expanding what #Medicaid could pay for, enabling North Carolinians to receive critical non-medical services. It's a simple idea, but an easy one to lose sight of. Keeping people well often starts long before they ever need a doctor.
