Mental health has always been an important aspect of wellbeing, but COVID-19 has elevated issues like burnout, anxiety, depression, and many others, across all populations.

With “I’m having a bad mental health day,” becoming a more comfortable thing to share, organizations of all types have a tremendous opportunity to step in and support mental health. But talking the talk is one thing; how can you go to walking the talk?

Our nation hit a major milestone this week with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting that more than half of adults have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. While this is great news, experts across the nation are speaking up with concerns about achieving herd immunity. Supply is catching up to demand in many parts of the country and some areas are seeing a slowdown in proactive vaccine seekers. There are many reasons why someone may not be lining up to get vaccinated, and what you do can make a difference.

One of the unfortunate consequences of medical distancing due to COVID-19 has been a dramatic decline in the number of preventive screenings and visits. On a panel at the RISE Medicare Marketing & Sales Summit, our client American Cancer Society called attention to the impact of these missed appointments: an initial 46% decrease in newly diagnosed patients with 6 common types of cancer (i.e. breast, colorectal, lung, pancreatic, gastric, and esophageal). As the American Cancer Society highlighted, these missed cancers will still be diagnosed eventually, but likely at a later stage and with worse prognosis.
