Most older adults self-rate their #MentalHealth as "well" or "very well," despite research showing otherwise, according to a CVS Health study. Age brings unique mental health stressors, like social isolation, lifestyle changes and the death of loved ones. But previous generations aren't always comfortable discussing their mental health struggles. It's up to #PrimaryCare providers to create a safe space and help patients understand their mental health is a medical issue, not a personal weakness. https://bit.ly/4d4YgP0

In the wake of Hurricane Beryl, our Houston Oakies' resilience and compassion for each other, our patients, and our communities is truly inspiring. Despite the hurdles, our Houston team members, like Summer F. and Phillip A., delivered water and supplies to community partners and members in need. They’ve also maintained vital communication with affected patients and community partners. We are proud of our Houston teams for coming together to support one another and their communities. #TeamOaky 💚
