This document outlines a project to recruit 5 Georgia congregations to join the 100 Congregations for Million Hearts initiative by December 2015. The initiative aims to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017 through raising awareness of heart disease risks like hypertension. The project goals are to designate advocates in congregations to provide heart health resources, establish community partnerships, disseminate prevention messages, and track blood pressure. The methodology involves providing technical assistance to congregations. Effectiveness will be evaluated by measuring awareness improvements and potential decreases in heart events. The project is federally funded and supported.

Supplementing Alaskan Healthcare Transformation
The document discusses barriers to healthcare in Alaska including a limited road network, population concentrated in few locations but real needs in rural areas, and limited broadband access. It notes a shortage of healthcare workers and rapidly rising costs, with most positions in urban areas but demand in rural Alaska. The government cannot bear projected increased costs due to demographic changes. Sustainability requires increasing returns, curbing costs, and public-private partnerships. It cannot rely on sustained federal funding. Adaptive change is needed by laying foundations and outreach.
Advocacy Interest Group Inaugural Meeting
The document summarizes the inaugural meeting of AcademyHealth's Advocacy Interest Group. It discusses AcademyHealth's role in advocacy, current threats to health services research funding from budget cuts, and how the Interest Group can help cultivate grassroots support and participation in advocacy efforts like annual Hill Day visits. The group's chair, Lou Rossiter, hopes it will plan advocacy events at the Annual Research Meeting and host webinars to further advocacy goals.

This document discusses how behavioral science can provide insights into human decision-making, especially in contexts of scarcity and poverty. It notes that while individuals may make seemingly irrational decisions, their behavior is often predictable. When facing scarcity of resources like time or money, people tend to focus on short-term planning and trade-offs. This has implications for policymaking. The Social and Behavioral Sciences Team applies findings from behavioral sciences to improve federal policies and programs by focusing on access, choices, and incentives. Randomized trials are used to test interventions and measure their impact on outcomes.Healthy Growth in the Cardiac Care Specialty
The rate of heart disease in the United States has been growing exponentially over the past few years as the population continues to rise and the prevalence of obesity and diabetes expands. Low levels of exercise and poor consumption habits have created a situation where far more people require cardiac care and the rates of death associated with cardiovascular illness are around 25%. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over half a million people experience a major heart attack each year. With the influx of heart disease patients, the cardiac care specialty has grown significantly and the demand for unlicensed providers such as the telemetry technician have skyrocketed. This has created several new employment opportunities for those who want to help with patient care without needing a college degree or extensive training. While it is possible to find work in the department without having previous experience or credentials, those who have both are more likely to get hired and are generally paid more. In an effort to increase the compensation package, applicants can complete a couple years of college coursework, formal training, and national certification. A proactive approach to career advancement is usually the best strategy and will allow people to take advantage of strong job and salary growth in the industry for the foreseeable future.

5 Top Resources for Alzheimer's Caregiving
In honor of November's National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, here are top resources to help families that are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.
Ahm health care chapter 9&10
Consumer-directed health plans (CDHPs) couple a high-deductible health plan with a tax-advantaged personal healthcare account. There are three main types of personal healthcare accounts: flexible spending accounts (FSAs) established by employers, health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) funded by employers, and health savings accounts (HSAs) that can be funded by both employees and employers. To be eligible for an HSA, an individual must have coverage under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) with annual deductibles of at least $1,200 individual or $2,400 family and annual out-of-pocket limits of no more than $5,950 individual or $11,

Mary woolley preseatation from research australia conference
This document summarizes Mary Woolley's speech on health and medical research in the United States given in Sydney, Australia. Some key points:
1) Research!America has partnered with Research Australia for over 15 years to advocate for increased research funding.
2) While the US spends more on health care than any other country, it gets a low return on investment. Sequestration cuts further threaten research funding.
3) Philanthropy and public-private partnerships have achieved major breakthroughs, but increased investment is still needed from government and other sources to support research.

The Heart2Heart Foundation Overview
The Heart2Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization established in South Carolina to educate women on heart health and advocate for prevention of heart disease. In its first year, the Foundation distributed educational materials to 1,000 women and received its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. For its second year, the Foundation aims to partner with the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute, increase awareness events during Heart Month, begin discussions with leaders, and provide more screenings and scholarships in the local community. The Foundation requests donations to continue its educational programs and clinical resources for heart health.
Yael Cass - Australia - Wednesday 30 - Communicational strategies to encoura...
The document discusses communications strategies in Australia to increase public awareness of organ donation. It outlines the establishment of the Australian Organ and Tissue Authority to oversee donation efforts. Key strategies included increased funding for hospitals, educating healthcare professionals, and national community awareness campaigns using media, events, and social platforms to encourage discussion of donation wishes and registration rates. Monitoring found high public acceptance but low family consent rates, so the goal was to close that gap and continue improving donation rates in Australia.
