It's National #SocialWork Month! Social workers are an integral part of our care teams. They help identify and address the social and emotional factors that impact a patient's health, and then work with providers on collaborative care plans. Thank you to our social workers for all you do! Learn what social work at Oak Street Health looks like from our own Nicole Banks: https://lnkd.in/e9H73GHZ

It's often scary to experience the changes that come with age, but providers can help patients take more control of their cognitive functioning by explaining preventive measures. At Oak Street Health, our providers consider a number of beneficial measures like socialization, physical activity and learning new skills to help patients maintain a healthy body and brain.

Did you know women are almost twice as likely to suffer from depression? And half say denial has been a major barrier to treatment. Mental health issues look different for everyone. It's up to providers to connect with patients and create a safe space where patients are encouraged to speak up. Behavioral health is a standard part of our primary care, and we've seen firsthand how mental health treatment improves patient outcomes. https://bit.ly/4ik2Tay

Cold temps present unique concerns for older adults, our physician Michele Mitchell, MD, MBA notes. The cold can tighten airways, create fall risks and impact chronic conditions. Our doctors make sure to remind patients about special risks and offer tips for staying warm. Even if you're not a doctor, checking in on older adult neighbors and loved ones can help prevent harm.

We believe #PrimaryCare approaches should be as unique as each patient. Our care model reflects this belief by giving physicians the time to get to know patients, the resources to tailor treatments to their lifestyle and the support to maintain regular follow-ups. This method not only positively impacts patient outcomes, it also improves healthcare access and creates a supportive workplace.
