Higher family income protects children from the risks of obesity
Family affluence protects children from obesity and unhealthy eating habits, even when they are surrounded by fast-food outlets and other unhealthy food options, new research shows.

Spread the number of primary care ACO's and cancel hospital based ones. Hospital and health center programs are built to keep spending high.
For seven years in a row, #PrimaryCare led ACOs in MSSP have generated nearly DOUBLE the amount of savings of their peers. If we want to fix our health care system, it starts with strengthening and empowering primary care.
According to CMS, primary care centric ACOs once again outperformed their peers participating in MSSP in 2024. It's yet another piece of evidence that when primary care leads, savings and better outcomes follow.
