Not just housing costs but food insecurity and other social determinants of health should be part of health care cost discussions. Geisinger uses food prescriptions to good effect.

Thanks OPTIMISE II team. We enrolled #11 today. Rupa Chowdary and Tina Christakos do all the heavy lifting.

Great article. Would include avoiding medical jargon when discussing care and don't be afraid to give cell number to patient or family. In 15 years I've never had it abused and people are grateful. #Physician Penn Medicine

My kids wrote haikus for #FathersDay. They were all great but one of my favorites is “Father you rock Because you have insurance Thank you for paying”. I love those kids. Penn Anesthesia

Congratulations to Andrew Kofke and the NeuroAnesthesia fellowship Penn Medicine obtaining ICPNT accreditation!
