CHRISTUS Santa Rosa is working with the city of San Antonio to develop a cohesive way to meet the needs of the 3,000 homeless in the area. To streamline and bring together the community response to homelessness, city outreach has introduced new initiatives to map and locate individuals experiencing homelessness, document them, and ensure they receive the care and resources they need. The outreach connects people with health needs with CHRISTUS Santa Rosa, where patients are assessed and provided treatment. After their discharge, CHRISTUS helps patients navigate follow-up care and additional resources.

Rural Americans already face higher health insurance premiums than their urban counterparts. Without an extension of the Health Care Tax Credits, those premiums could rise even further—making essential care unaffordable and out of reach for millions. We urge Congress to act swiftly and extend these critical tax credits. The health and well-being of rural communities depend on it. #CatholicHealth #KeepUSCovered

In a new article from America Magazine, Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM, president and CEO of the Catholic Health Association, speaks out about the shutdown and its risks to health care access. “The gridlock in Washington is reflective of a government that is not responding to the needs of the people.” “Care for all is not just the moral call of Catholic health care institutions; it is also smarter social policy.” Catholic health systems care for the most vulnerable.

Spreading a message of hope, resilience, and faith, the new movie Soul on Fire reflects the importance of purpose in Catholic health care. The movie, based on the book 'On Fire' by John O'Leary, features scenes with a young John receiving care for the extreme burns to 100% of his body at Mercy Hospital St. Louis. These scenes highlight the importance of those dedicated to personal care, such as those represented in the film, who aided John during his five-month stay.

More than 60 million Americans reside in rural areas across the country, which can make accessing health care a challenge. Catholic hospital systems are working to bridge the gap between urban and rural access to providers through new telehealth applications, creative staff recruitment initiatives, and organizational models. By bringing care to the patient, rather than bringing the patient to their care, systems aim to reduce the staggering disparity in health outcomes between rural and urban areas. Read more about the initiative reaching out to rural areas in the link in the comments. #CatholicHealth #RuralCare
