If you're over 45 and at normal risk, it may be time to get screened for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer rates are rising among both men and women, and screenings that allow early detection are important for everyone. But screening for this condition doesn't necessarily mean undergoing a colonoscopy like it once did. Learn about some of the alternatives on our blog today and talk to your primary care provider about what screening option is right for you. https://bit.ly/3ZnsmtB #colorectalcancer #cancerscreening #earlydetection #PreventiveCare

Chief Medical Officer at Premera Blue Cross, Professor of Medicine, UC Irvine, Paul Merage School of Business
The rates of maternal mortality and morbidity are disproportionately rising among Black and Indigenous People of Color. Per the CDC data, Black women are three to four times more likely to die due to pregnancy-related complications than white women. Further, these disparities continue into the post-partum period. Premera Blue Cross is committed to closing this gap through its high-risk maternity case management team that includes licensed maternal specialists. Their role is to provide education, care coordination, readmission prevention, and other tailored support services inclusive of addressing social drivers of health. Our goal is to understand the drivers of these disparities and address them within our communities and membership, one human at a time. #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth https://lnkd.in/gXpeGE3v

Growing up can be tough, and kids today face behavioral health challenges their parents never imagined. These challenges were made clear in the Alaska's latest Youth Risk Behavior Survey, in which young Alaskans reported dealing with issues like depression and cyberbullying more frequently. They don't have to experience these issues alone, though. Parents and caregivers can take steps to help kids feel more confident coming to them for support. And working together, they can advocate for improved mental health services and education in Alaska's schools and communities. In the Alaska Beacon, Dr. Josephine Young, Premera Medical Director, lays out five actions that can support youth mental health in Alaska's towns and villages. https://bit.ly/4fYCBdx
