Hudson Regional Health announced it may suspend **non-essential services** at Heights University Hospital in Jersey City unless it receives significant state funding. Despite over $300 million invested in just 10 months, ongoing financial challenges persist. The hospital system, which emerged after CarePoint’s bankruptcy, urges state support to ensure continued care for the community and maintain vital healthcare services.

Ethan Geringer-Sameth story on need for state investment in community health centers. "In a statement Thursday, Community Health Care Association of NYS executive director Rose Duhan commended the governor for restoring the funding in the next fiscal year but said it “falls short of addressing the dire financial situation that (community health centers) are facing.” The group is calling for the funding to be increased to $300 million, half of which would come from the state."

This story hits close to home. Safe staffing and workplace violence protections were the defining issues in the NYC nurses' strike — and they're a big part of the reason we have collaborated with and gathered insights from healthcare professionals across a wide spectrum as we have built OPTICS for Healthcare. We have seen firsthand how consistently these issues can permeate an healthcare organization, impacting its culture, financials, and daily operations. When prevention becomes the priority, everyone wins--staff, patients, visitors, and the overall organization. There is still a long road ahead for the stakeholders in the healthcare industry, and it takes authentic stakeholder conversation and collaboration to create a roadmap that everyone can follow. Proud to be building an application that helps with the roadmaps.

Lack of Training Is No Defense in a Federal Audit — Arm Your Practice! Tomorrow in Rochester, NY - Practice Management Institute and the Monroe County Medical Society will present our Medical Office Compliance Master Class- a comprehensive, high-impact training event designed to protect your practice from compliance risks. Even honest mistakes can lead to serious fines. Your staff must be properly educated and equipped to avoid risk and ensure regulatory compliance. In this essential course, participants will review the three major compliance risk areas- Medicare, HIPAA, and OSHA, as well as the seven core elements of compliance that every practice must implement. The session will be led by PMI faculty lead Jan Hailey, MHL, CMC, CMCO, CMIS, CMOM, CMCA-E/M. Jan she will share real-world examples with the group,  highlighting high-risk areas and potential liabilities, and she’ll teach the students how to conduct a Gap Analysis and Risk Assessment for their practice. Special thanks to Lucia Castillejo, MS, CEO of MCMS, and Jennifer Casasanta for their steadfast partnership and dedication to supporting their members. It’s always a privilege to work alongside MCMS in advancing best practices for medical offices. #PMIPARTNERSHIPS

This is an exciting partnership between Southern Atlantic Healthcare Alliance (SAHA) and NxtCare supported by Chris Oltmans. All of our member health systems cite better alignment with post-acute providers as a top priority. And, we have experience learning the value for organized networks and community ecosystems of care that NxtCare can help us create, manage and optimize with skilled nursing/rehab and home health agencies. Members, reach out to Swati Bhardwaj, FACHE, CPPS, CPHQ to get more information. Or join us on 2/11/26 at 3pm to hear directly from Chris Oltmans.
