LIBERTY Launches “Community Smiles” Program in Florida to Help Enrollees Navigate Social Needs

October 1, 2020

| Community Health

LIBERTY Dental Plan (“LIBERTY”) announces the launch of the new “Community Smiles” Program to help our Florida Medicaid enrollees address barriers to health and connect to free or reduced-cost community resources.

Research shows the Social Determinants of Health, which include a variety of behavioral and environmental factors, serve as barriers to health and may have a greater impact on health outcomes than health care.

LIBERTY developed this initiative to support our enrollees and promote ‘whole person’ health. After the program’s initial launch in California and Nevada, thousands of enrollees took advantage of the opportunity to search for and connect with community programs, particularly housing, food, and health care

Many teachers and families feared a spike in COVID-19 cases when Florida made the controversial push to reopen schools in August with in-person instruction.

But a USA TODAY analysis shows the state’s positive case count among kids aged 5 to 17 declined through late September after a peak in July. Among the counties seeing surges in overall cases, it’s college-age adults – not school children – driving the trend, the analysis found.

Florida Department of Health Recognizes World Alzheimer’s Month

TALLAHASSEE — World Alzheimer’s Month is the international campaign run by Alzheimer’s Disease International every September. It increases awareness about the disease and reduces the stigma and lack of information surrounding dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. It destroys brain cells and nerves, disrupting the transmitters which carry messages in the brain, particularly those responsible for storing memories.

“It is absolutely vital that Floridians have access to both early diagnosis and support for Alzheimer’s,” said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “As the number of Floridians with dementia continues to grow, raising awareness of this disease helps ensure that they receive the care and access to resources they and their families need to continue living their healthiest lives.”

“Studies show that Alzheimer’s disease affects more than
