More and more people are unable to access the resources they need due to digital literacy blocks.
@join_papa has long been helping members adapt to new technology, and they've just announced an enhanced Digital Health Literacy (DHL) offering.
The service will help grow virtual care access for dual-eligible, disadvantaged, and low-income members with at-home visits to help them learn the skills they need to access quality health care.
Papa has completed more than 54,000 technology visits since January 2022, and their enhanced service will help even more people get the standard of care they deserve 💙

November is National Family Caregivers Month (#NFCM), a time to honor and recognize the incredible individuals who devote their time, energy, and compassion to caring for their loved ones! 💙
At #Papa, we believe that family caregivers are the unsung heroes of our communities.
During this month, we want to shine a spotlight on the importance of social connection and support systems for caregivers.
It takes a village to care for a loved one, building a network of support can help alleviate the challenges and uplift caregivers on their journey. 🫂
Small acts of kindness, like reaching out to a caregiver, asking how you can help, or lending a listening ear, can go a long way in showing our gratitude. 💙
We believe everyone deserves access to quality health care, regardless of their circumstances. By improving our members' #DigitalHealthLiteracy, we can help bridge the gap so that no one is left behind in this digital age.📲

Purpose is what gets you out of bed in the morning. And for our Papa members, meeting with their #PapaPal is a big (and sometimes the only) reason to get up and get dressed.

And it's not just our members who find purpose in those visits; our #PapaPals do too. They do this work because they want to help others in their community. They have a heart for service and have found passion and companionship through their work as a Pal. 💙
Like #PapaPal Desmond, who shares: "I do it for them, and they don't even know what it's doing for me."

"Our data shows that 1 in 5 people wouldn't have anyone to help them if they needed it. Let's think about how we give resources to people who don't have anyone to support them so they can age equitably and independently." —Dr. Ellen Rudy, at #HLTH23.
When we challenged our community to #BeAPal, they rose to the occasion!
It warmed our hearts to see so many in our network, including dozens of #PapaPals, take on the #BeAPal Bingo challenge to build new connections and show kindness to others in their communities. 💙
For our members who struggle with their mental health, our compassionate #PapaPals are here to provide companionship & emotional support. We understand that sometimes a friendly face a a listening ear can make all the difference. 💙
