Technology experts have long known that decentralized systems, while sometimes more unwieldy and expensive to manage, are far more adaptable and resilient to disasters. The health care industry has historically lagged behind in such reform, but the Covid-19 pandemic has entirely changed the way patients interact with their health. It’s clear to me that post-pandemic, we will see a shift toward the decentralization of care.

Transforming Traditional Care Delivery Models

A clinical model based around a centralized hospital that provides diagnosis, treatment and disease management may no longer make sense. The American Hospital Association reports that hospitals are losing more than $50 billion per month as a result of canceling procedures and redirecting focus to treat Covid-19 patients.

In order to survive these bleak financial projections, hospitals should adapt

In the official press release, Paul’s thoughts on winning the award were powerful.

“The community assist award is such an honor to me any year, but this year in particular. Given everything 2020 has thrown our way, it’s important that we the players continue to use our NBA platform to be the voice of the voiceless. I will continue to amplify and support

I am supporting Kalie Hess in Senate District 15 because we need representation by someone who is smart, energetic, young, and who cares about issues like health care and renewable energy.

She has been a leader in improving access to dental care, especially for young children. She is a strong proponent of solar energy and direct metering, which has been a driving force for residential solar energy in Maine. In fact, she has been endorsed by Maine Conservation Voters, Maine Youth for Climate Justice and the Sierra Club.

She and her family are proponents of community supported agriculture, one of the best ways to provide healthy food in our communities.

Please join me in voting for Kalie Hess Nov. 3.

Winston Churchill did something compelling when Nazi bombers attacked London at the start of World War II. Instead of rushing to a bomb shelter, he climbed to a rooftop so he could see what was happening. After the attacks, he visited bombed-out sites to see the impact on the communities he served.

“Churchill toured the worst-hit areas on foot,” one historian recalled. His bodyguard said, “He could no more stay out of a raid than he could sit still in a debate in Parliament.”

My point is to invite Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Vice President Mike Pence to take this same kind of close-up look at health care when they come to

Treasury Department closes CARES loans for seven major U.S. airlines

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that it has closed loans to seven major passenger airlines as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The seven carriers are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, and United Airlines.

Officials say it’s likely that the initial loan amounts the airlines applied for in its pool of $25 billion will be increased because some major airlines may opt to secure financing in the private market instead of through the Treasury Department.

“The payroll support and loan programs created by the CARES Act have saved a large number of aviation industry jobs, and kept workers employed and connected to their health care, during an unprecedented time,” said Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin.

“We are pleased to conclude loans that will support this critical industry

Day cares are reopening. But they can only serve small groups and fear for their survival.

The industry already operates at the margins, and facilities that are open are running undercapacity to comply with strict health guidelines. Many centers have delayed paying their rent or mortgages until they can afford it. Owners say that many workers have left for babysitting gigs or other minimum-wage jobs that reopened sooner.

The demand for child care is growing but is inconsistent and unpredictable, day care owners said in interviews. They have fewer young infants in their care. But centers with accredited prekindergarten programs say the slots are in high demand, with parents opting for these in-person programs instead of the virtual public school ones. While some centers are turning parents away, others have capacity but no families registered.

And now a new challenge for some day cares: The District announced this month it would change the way it pays them subsidies — money the city pays directly to day-care
