There’s a lot to celebrate in May for health impact

For Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, I’d like to share a story about what it felt like growing up as a Cambodian-American in the pre-internet era and why this has made me so passionate about the work we do at Primary. I found myself frequently feeling invisible in any data about our communities, and I was very aware that people may only have been exposed to images of Southeast Asians in crisis. When it feels like systems are designed to minimize your existence, or inherited trauma has become part of your culture’s modern history, it’s very motivating to find opportunities to build the kind of system you wish existed. And that’s what we get to do at Primary.

May is also a month that celebrates Haitian heritage, hepatitis awareness, and mental health awareness. In this newsletter, we highlight resources that impact health equity for AAPI and Haitians, the collective work it takes to break intergenerational mental health stigmas, and updated WHO guidelines around Hepatitis B.

At Primary, stories and personal experiences like these drive us to make the system better for health care awareness and delivery. We believe that if the system doesn’t work to serve people who have been historically hidden in the data, then it’s time to build a new system, and it takes all of us in partnership together.

If you have your own story–would love to hear it! Feel free to reply back and share.

Thanks for being here,

Jacky So

Did you know that Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) adults are substantially less likely to get bystander CPR when they experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting?

According to the American Heart Association, 69% of AAPI individuals surveyed are hesitant to perform Hands-Only CPR because they are worried they will hurt the person.

Protecting, Connecting and Thriving: We Are All Public Health

Hello! In April, we celebrate National Public Health Week. This year’s theme, “Protecting, Connecting and Thriving: We Are All Public Health” resonates deeply with us because so much of our mission is powering public health testing, immunizations, preventative care and more to keep people healthy. And the return of diseases we thought had been eradicated – like measles and tuberculosis, for example – make our mission that much more critical.

Lately, our efforts have extended to public health labs, where we apply technology to streamline workflows, reduce costs, and help ensure our labs are prepared to handle any public health emergency. We’re taking this work on the road: find us at Executive War College in New Orleans and at APHL 2024 in Milwaukee.

At the heart of all these initiatives is the Primary.Health software platform. We’re so proud of this product that we’re offering a free 14-day trial for organizations to experience smarter health management. Start your free trial by clicking below.

Health Disparities, Heart,

Black History Month.

Vol. 4

Legacy: Unmasking Racism in Medicine

At the intersection of health disparities, matters of the heart, and the significance of Black History Month, a critical narrative unfolds—one that exposes the insidious impact of racism within medicine. In this issue, we feature Dr. Uché Blackstock, an emergency medicine physician and author who delves into this legacy in her powerful book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine. Through the lens of her family’s generations of Black women physicians, she unearths the roots of today’s disparities in medical training and treatment. In Dr. Blackstock’s words, “It is not biology that fails Black patients, but rather the deeply entrenched biases and racism woven into our healthcare institutions.”

As we honor Black history, let us confront these inequities head-on, striving for a future where healthcare transcends prejudice and truly serves all. Read on to see steps public health providers and healthcare systems can take to reduce health disparities in the Black community, and how ETOR – Electronic Test Orders and Results – is transforming the healthcare landscape by making diagnostics more efficient and equitable for all.

Announcement: The Primary.Health offices will be closed Monday, February 19 in observance of Presidents’ Day.

A major barrier to accessing quality healthcare is the inability to communicate in one’s own language. This is especially true in the United States, where English is the presumed default. That’s why Primary’s platform supports multiple languages and is always expanding to accommodate new ones.

Bridging the Gap: Improving Healthcare Access for the Unhoused

Vol. 2

Before we dive into our newsletter topic for this month, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the work we’ve accomplished together in service of our communities.

We’ve provided 63 service types to 867,697 people in 183 counties (phew!). We also launched sexual health testing capabilities on the Primary platform, and supported our first free STI testing program.

In addition, we established several public health lab integrations via their respective LIMS/LIS systems. This allows for lab-to-lab paperless communication and enables community organizations to work directly with their local Public Health Labs to expedite testing.

And we will continue this critical work into 2024.

This month’s newsletter focuses on the unhoused population. According to the CDC, people experiencing homelessness are at increased risk for infectious and non-infectious diseases. Despite experiencing higher rates of disease, access to healthcare can often be more difficult for this population.

In this issue, we share resources for ordering free Covid-19 tests, and an exciting development that allows providers of ‘street medicine’ to be reimbursed for services administered in non-traditional settings.

On the topic of expanding access, we’re also excited to announce Primary’s CLIA waiver program, which allows providers to offer professional point-of-care tests outside of the traditional lab setting.

Bringing healthcare to populations in need, wherever they need it, is one way to break down barriers to care.

Together, we can create more paths and points of access to healthcare for all. Thank you for being a vital part of our community. Here’s to another year of meaningful change!

Announcement: The Primary.Health offices will be closed on Monday, December 25th and Monday, January 1st during the holiday. We wish everyone a joyful and healthy holiday season.
