At Your Health, we have the privilege of caring for our patients, often during their most vulnerable moments. It’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly, and it’s your dedication, skill, and compassion that make it possible to fulfill this calling every day.

This Thanksgiving, I am especially thankful for our incredible teams — doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses, support staff, and leadership. You are the heartbeat of our practice. Your unwavering commitment to serving others transforms lives and strengthens the communities we serve.

In the midst of a busy and demanding profession, you continue to show kindness, respect, and a genuine desire to make a difference. That spirit of care is what sets Your Health apart.

• Charleston Thanksgiving Food Drive: A Heartfelt Thanks to Our Team and Community

  This year’s Thanksgiving food drive was a huge success, thanks to the incredible support from our community and team. We partnered with Claiborne to provide cooked meals, while the community generously contributed non-cooked items like canned goods, turkeys, and monetary donations. Together, we were able to help 225 patients in the Lowcountry enjoy a special holiday meal. Volunteers and employees worked tirelessly to deliver the food, ensuring that no one was left out. This event truly showcased the power of teamwork and community spirit. We couldn't have made it happen without everyone’s dedication and support. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many!

Giving Thanks in the Office

Several offices throughout the company celebrated with a Thanksgiving potluck to gather and catch up with their co-workers.

Ongoing Commitment to Excellence: Achieving the CPXP Certification

Ongoing Commitment to Excellence: Achieving the CPXP Certification

Your Health Patient Experience’s Ongoing Commitment to Excellence: Achieving the CPXP Certification

At Your Health Patient Experience, we are always striving to elevate the care and service we provide to our patients. Our commitment to enhancing the human experience in healthcare goes beyond words—it's embedded in every action, decision, and initiative we undertake. One of the latest milestones in our journey is the recent achievement of the Certified Patient Experience Professional (CPXP) certification by Rebecca Dillard.

While Rebecca’s certification is a notable personal accomplishment, it represents so much more. It underscores our organization’s dedication to fostering a culture of excellence in patient experience—a core value that drives us to continuously improve and innovate across the healthcare continuum.

Why CPXP Certification Matters to Your Health's Patient Experience

The CPXP certification, awarded by the Beryl Institute in partnership with the Patient Experience Institute (PXI), is a globally recognized credential that signifies expertise in managing and improving patient experience. This certification process is rigorous, involving both extensive learning and application of best practices across patient-centered care, leadership, and service excellence.

At Your Health, we believe that earning the CPXP certification is not just about individual achievement—it’s about continually advancing our collective knowledge and skills. As an organization, we recognize that great healthcare is built on great experiences—both for the patients we care for and the people who provide that care.

A Shared Commitment to Transforming Healthcare

The CPXP certification is a reflection of the collective effort we put forth every day to create positive, patient-centered experiences that extend across all touchpoints in the care journey.

This achievement is just one example of the steps we’re taking to ensure that the human experience remains at the forefront of everything we do. From improving patient communication to enhancing the overall atmosphere of care, our organization is continually focused on creating a space where both patients and healthcare providers feel heard, valued, and supported.

Looking Ahead: Ongoing Investment in Patient Experience

Rebecca’s CPXP certification is part of our broader strategy to invest in human experience and set high standards across every aspect of care. But our commitment doesn’t end here. We will continue to focus on Your Experience Matters training and other initiatives that enhance patient experience, colleague experience, improve outcomes, and ensure every individual who interacts with Your Health feels the difference we strive to make.

A Unified Effort Toward Excellence

At Your Health Patient Experience, we are proud of the collective efforts that go into achieving excellence in healthcare experience. 

Thank you for being a part of our commitment to high achievement in patient experience. Together, we will continue to create meaningful, positive changes that impact the lives of everyone we serve.

Medical Adherence Reducing Hospitalizations

Your Health recognizes the critical role of medication adherence in reducing hospitalizations and improving overall health outcomes. We understand that many patients face barriers such as medication costs, transportation challenges, and lack of understanding about their prescriptions. To address these social determinants of health, we offer a range of pharmacy benefits designed to enhance access and compliance.

PHARMACY CONSULTS:

· Medication Reviews: Providing personalized consultations to help patients understand the purpose and benefits of their medications.

· Follow-Up on New Medications: Ensuring patients feel confident with new prescriptions through thorough follow-up discussions.

· Cost-Effective Alternatives: Recommending alternative medications that are more affordable or may have fewer side effects.

· Patient Assistance Programs: To discuss available programs to help alleviate the financial burden of medications.

DISPENSING PHARMACY (SC HomeRX):

· Home Delivery: Convenient home delivery of medications, either through shipping or direct delivery by a d(SC Home RX)river.

· Multi-Dose Blister Packaging: For ease of use, we provide multi-dose blister packs that simplify medication management.

· Traditional Bottles: We also offer medications in standard bottles for those who prefer them.

By leveraging these benefits, patients can take control of their health, leading to improved medication adherence, better health outcomes, and an enhanced healthcare experience.

Someone was Unkind to Me

Incivility—a silent threat often manifested in subtle snubs, condescending remarks, or passive-aggressive behavior—is a subtle yet pervasive issue significantly impacting employee engagement and patient experience.

The impact on a company as a whole is astounding. From decreased employee engagement to diminished patient experience, and ultimately the financial implications, such as increased turnover, decreased productivity, higher healthcare costs associated with stress-related illnesses, and increased sick days, can all significantly impact an organization's bottom line.  

A study by the Workplace Bullying Institute in 2017 revealed a staggering statistic: 98% of healthcare workers reported experiencing incivility, with 19% encountering it daily. Such widespread exposure to unkindness can lead to a host of negative outcomes. According to a 2022 survey, 76% of workers experience incivility at least once a month, and 78% witness it at least once a month.

According to Carnegie Mellon University’s Binyamin Cooper and colleagues (2022), rudeness constitutes a “low-intensity negative behavior that violates norms of civility” that can interfere with a person’s ability to get work done.   

Building a Culture of Kindness: Why People Are Rude and Unkind (and Why It’s Not About You) 

Try to believe that people are inherently good, and only do bad things in reaction to bad situations. Being unkind, more often than not, is a reaction to anger with ourselves or our perceived inadequacy. When you find people being rude to you in your everyday life, they are being mean to themselves.

They have likely convinced themselves that they are unworthy, which is the biggest tragedy. You don’t have to tolerate it when others are not nice, but it’s not something to take personally. You don’t have to internalize the meanness as a fault of your own. You can recognize that the rude person struggles with their problems and needs a way to cope. You cannot control the actions and behaviors of others, only your reactions to them.

“How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves.”

— Paulo Coelho

If you are the unkind one, it is time for self-reflection. Why do you attack people? What are you trying to protect yourself from? The critical thing to remember, whether you are receiving or giving unkindness, is that you are inherently good, too, and what you or someone else tells you doesn't matter.   

Healthcare organizations can improve employee engagement, enhance patient experience, and ultimately deliver high-quality care by taking proactive steps to foster a positive and supportive work environment.   

“Whether you’re a CEO, a team leader, or a person from any walk of life trying to make a difference, you’re going to be judged for the little moments, so please make the most of them. In every interaction, you have a choice. Do you want to lift people up or hold them down? Who do you want to be?”

— Christine Porath

NEW RELEASE: THE HUB

Introducing The Hub App: Your One-Stop Resource for Organization and Efficiency

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of The Hub, a powerful new tool designed to bring clarity, efficiency, and alignment to all our company processes and protocols. The Hub is more than just an app—it’s our new single source of truth, a dedicated space for employees to find up-to-date company documents, workflows, procedures, and administrative files. By housing all resources in one place, The Hub ensures that every team member is equipped with consistent, accurate information to perform at their best.

KEY FEATURES OF THE HUB

1. Streamlined Document Management

   • The Hub enables all document creation, review, and approval processes to take place within one platform. This makes it easy to track each document’s status, reducing the need for manual updates and promoting a streamlined process from start to finish.

2. Locked-Down Approval and Disapproval Process

   • With The Hub’s secure approval system, every document is vetted by our designated team to ensure it aligns with current company standards. Employees can submit new documents or suggest revisions, with full transparency on status changes (e.g., “In Review,” “Approved,” or “Denied”). Feedback is provided for any disapproved documents, so revisions can be made swiftly and efficiently.

3. Customized Access and Permissions

   • The Hub’s permission structure ensures that each employee sees only the documents relevant to their role. Files are labeled as “Downloadable” or “View Only” based on access needs, with restricted permissions where needed (e.g., HR, Management). This ensures each team member has secure and appropriate access to essential information.

4. Protocol Compliance and Accountability

   • Following best practices and our established document management guidelines is crucial for consistency across our organization. Unauthorized document creation or distribution outside of The Hub is strictly prohibited, helping us maintain high standards and avoid referencing outdated materials. Our commitment to accountability is reinforced through The Hub, where supervisors can ensure that team members adhere to established protocols.

5. Training and Support Resources

   • The Hub includes a detailed user guide to support all employees in accessing and navigating the app. Whether you’re accessing training guides, workflows, or regulatory documents, the app’s clear layout will guide you to the resources you need with ease.

STAYING ALIGNED WITH THE HUB’S GUIDELINES

The Hub is here to enhance the way we work by improving consistency and efficiency in every department. All employees are encouraged to rely on The Hub to access protocols and procedures, stay up-to-date on revisions, and track document requests. This transition is key to maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring every team member is informed and empowered with the most current, accurate information.

Our new standard for accuracy, consistency, and alignment starts here. We’re excited to introduce The Hub as a core tool for our company’s continued growth and excellence, and we’re here to support you every step of the way as we all get acquainted with this dynamic platform. Here’s to a more organized, informed, and connected future!

2024 Your Health Provider Conference

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the 8th Annual Your Health Provider Conference! This year’s event was remarkable, thanks to the enthusiasm of our attendees, the expertise of our speakers, and the support of our sponsors and vendors. Together, we created a weekend filled with inspiration, knowledge-sharing, and memorable experiences. From karaoke nights to engaging team-building activities, we strengthened connections across departments and fostered a collaborative spirit that will benefit our entire organization.

We were thrilled to welcome internationally recognized speaker Dr. Calvin Chou, who led a powerful workshop on relationship-centered communication, effective feedback, conflict resolution, and remediation in healthcare. Dr. Chou emphasized the importance of listening to understand, referencing Stephen Covey's insight: “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” His practical guidance on the Ladder of Inference and strategies for empathetic communication inspired attendees to prioritize active listening in patient and colleague interactions.

The conference also featured focused tracks to address the diverse needs of our healthcare community:

• Medical Track: This track provided clinicians with insights into the latest medical advancements and patient care strategies, focusing on enhancing treatment for chronic conditions and integrating technology in healthcare.

• Social Work Track: Dedicated to social workers, this track offered sessions on trauma-informed care, professional boundaries, and critical social issues like hoarding, addiction, and mandated reporting.

• Leadership Track: This track empowered healthcare leaders with sessions on team-building, regulatory navigation, and patient-centered leadership. Emphasizing patient satisfaction and value-based care, these sessions equipped leaders with strategies for impactful decision-making.

In addition to educational sessions, a unique workshop with a professional magician brought a fresh perspective on problem-solving and innovation, reminding clinicians of the “magic” they bring to patient care.

Be sure to check out our blog and social media pages for photos and highlights from the weekend. Please share the memories and help us extend our gratitude to everyone who made this event a truly unforgettable experience. For more conference details, visit the Your Health Conference website.

Why Shared Knowledge Matters: Patient Perspective

WRITTEN BY: JENNIFER KISTLER

Your Health is for our patients when they need it most.

Many patients may feel overwhelmed when managing their conditions and feel as if they have lost the ability to control much of their lives.

Fortunately, Your Health’s patient-centered care model allows each patient’s care team to provide customized care solutions to meet their emotional, mental, social, and physical needs.

Did you know that something as simple as explaining our Model of Care empowers our patients? 

---

Shared Knowledge of our care model gives the patient…

• Peace of Mind – The patient has an entire healthcare team focused on their success.

• Ownership – The patient understands their role in self-monitoring and managing their conditions.

• Equip – Allows the patient to anticipate frequency of visits, their value, and who will be involved in their care.

All of this helps to create Trust – Explain things in a way the patient and family will understand. 

---

Health Literacy is a real issue for most patients.  Get the patient to give you feedback so you know they understand.  Do what you say you are going to do. Share your knowledge and have the patient and family share theirs.

Silent Care: Timely Communication in Patient Care

WRITTEN BY: KIM METZ, RN

---

“I had a kidney infection, and no one told me…”

---

How would you feel, as a patient, if your lab work came back abnormal and your primary care provider failed to call you and discuss the results? 

How would you feel in a situation where your mom has an X-ray after a fall, and you never receive any update on her condition? Knowing there are no broken bones can relieve our patients’ and family members’ anxiety, but without that confirmation, you’re left worrying and uncertain. 

How would you feel if your lab work came back abnormal and indicated a need for a slight lifestyle or medication change that could have improved the trajectory of your health…but no one ever told you?  

Imagine how you would feel if you were worried about a serious condition like cancer, due to symptoms such as blood in your urine. After undergoing a urinalysis, it was discovered that it was merely a kidney infection, but the information was never relayed to you…

All scenarios are potential experiences our patients may face if we don’t take the time to discuss lab results, x-rays, and other test outcomes with them. 

Did you know that according to the National Library of Medicine, 96% of patients prefer to receive test results online immediately, even if their healthcare provider has not reviewed them yet? A subset of respondents experienced feeling increased worry after receiving abnormal results.  Therefore, studies prove patients want to be informed, even if it's bad news.

In Your Health’s most recent Patient Experience (PX) scorecard from United Healthcare, only 79% of our patients reported receiving follow-up from their primary care provider after blood tests, x-rays, or other exams.  We aim for 89%. We can and must do better for our patients.   

As a person who cares for others, or as someone who supports those who care for our patients, ask yourself these questions:

• Are you teaching your patients how to use the portal? 

• Are you scheduling a follow-up the same day you order a lab or diagnostic test? 

• Are you taking the time to explain to the patient the reasons behind ordering the test? 

• Are providers promptly and efficiently alerted when results are posted in the patient's chart? 

• Have you identified opportunities to improve the process and taken steps to implement or share those ideas? 

• Are we improving our patients' experience and reducing their anxiety by providing and reviewing results as quickly as possible? 

Our patients need to trust us. They deserve to receive their results promptly, which is the right thing to do.

Governor Henry McMaster Appointed Melissa May-Engel to the South Carolina Board of Nursing

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Governor Henry McMaster announced the appointment of Melissa May-Engel, LPN, to the South Carolina Board of Nursing. Melissa May-Engel, associated with Your Health, will serve as the LPN at Large, bringing her extensive experience and dedication to the nursing profession to the Board.

The mission of the South Carolina Board of Nursing is to protect public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the safe and competent practice of nursing. This mission is achieved through several key initiatives:

1. Assuring Safe Initial Practice: The Board ensures that all licensed nurses in South Carolina meet rigorous standards for initial practice. This involves comprehensive licensure processes for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Registered Nurses (RNs), and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs).

2. Continuing Competency: The Board promotes ongoing education and professional development to maintain and enhance nursing competency throughout a nurse’s career. This is vital to updating nursing practices with the latest medical standards and innovations.

3. Promoting Nursing Excellence: The board fosters an environment of excellence by supporting high standards in nursing education and practice. This includes surveying and approving pre-licensure nursing programs to ensure the quality education of future nurses.

In addition to licensure and education, the Board investigates complaints against nurses and takes disciplinary action when necessary to uphold the integrity and trust of the nursing profession. Through these efforts, the South Carolina Board of Nursing ensures that the highest standards of nursing care are provided to the public.

Matt Staub, CEO of Your Health, expressed confidence in May-Engel's appointment, noting her commitment to nursing and her ability to contribute to the Board’s mission.

"Melissa’s dedication to patient care and professional expertise make her an invaluable addition to the South Carolina Board of Nursing. I am confident she will help advance our mission to ensure the health and safety of all South Carolinians."

Melissa May-Engle shared her enthusiasm for the new role, stating, "I am honored to be appointed to the Board and look forward to working with my colleagues to continue promoting excellence in nursing.

By Land Or Sea

If you have been with Your Health long, you have heard someone use the tagline, "Wherever You Call Home." 

---

That is not just a tagline; we mean it. Recently, our Grand Strand Team received a call from a case manager from a hospital near Georgetown. The case manager worked on a discharge plan for a patient who needed help going home. The big problem she was dealing with was that this patient lived on Sandy Island, about 30 minutes via boat off Georgetown's coast.

Naturally, our Grand Strand team accepted the challenge from this hospital case manager and began to figure out a way to provide patient care after her discharge. The team let the case manager know that we are all set, have access to a boat, and will begin seeing her at home.

For the last few months, Kristi Miller, APRN, has been making regular boat rides so that this patient would get the care she needed WHEREVER SHE CALLED HOME, even if the home was an island with only boat access. Kristi has even found other required support agencies willing to take the boat ride to the patient.

We are all healthcare problem solvers, and by working together, we can solve any problem for the communities we live in and serve.

Great job, Grand Strand Team!

Social Determinants of Health

We at Your Health are fortunate to offer mental health services as primary care providers.

Excellent healthcare doesn't separate physical and mental care; they are equally vital to a patient's success.

We have tremendous social workers who provide talk and cognitive behavioral therapy daily. However, we also have another side of our Social Work Program that helps patients with resources and daily needs like food, shelter, social support, and more.

It doesn't matter how good your provider or therapist is; the patient will continue to struggle if we don't meet all these social determinants of health. Recently, our very own Bryan Melton (Social Worker) helped someone we will call "Joe".

Joe has significant health struggles, including going to dialysis a few times a week, but one of his most significant needs is stable housing. Brian worked his social work magic and community resources and found Joe stable housing. By meeting this crucial need, Joe can focus on his health issues, and worrying about where he will live will not be a distraction.

Joe recently left a message for our Chief Behavior Officer, Jimmie Williamson, Ph.D., LMSW, to let him know about Bryan's impact on his life.

We can provide the most incredible physical and mental healthcare, but the social determinants of health are the foundation for our’ genuinely living their best lives.

Well done, Bryan and Social Work Team!

The Least of These

At Your Health, we help people from all walks of life, well-off people, and those on the other side of the spectrum, whom we call The Least of These.

Recently, our Charleston social work team got a call from a former patient from a skilled facility, they were not doing well after discharge. This person, whom we will call “Jerry,” also had recently been in the ER and had a short hospital stay. After release, Jerry had been scammed out of resources and found himself homeless and living in a downtown Charleston parking garage. Jody Crawford & Jasmine Marion (Social Workers), and the Charleston team went into action to asses and find solutions to this man’s problems.

First, it was food; Cam Cunningham brought this person some dinner to the parking garage one evening while other team members began finding additional resources to find him more food in the coming days.

The second need they filled was shelter. Through the residents of the Cane Bay community, they collected resources to get Jerry some nights at a hotel, plus more groceries, until they could get him a more permanent home. After a few days of getting the proper medical evaluations, Jerry was placed in the A’leia Residential Care in Yemassee.

Thirdly, now that his food and shelter problem has been solved, Jerry is getting regular provider and social work visits to give him a chance to thrive in his new home.

Your Health is so much more than JUST primary care! It gives people their dignity back and a chance at a better life. 

GREAT JOB, Charleston Team! You are truly making a difference from those well-off to The Least of These, like Jerry!
