AACIPM is Promoting Pain and Self Care Awareness Month in September

Health Care Includes Self Care™

To promote both Pain Awareness Month and Self Care Awareness Month, AACIPM will be collaborating with many partners to spread awareness and deepen connections and understanding across the stakeholders.

Join us in our efforts to build awareness by registering for the webinars included within this newsletter, by sending us relevant resources on pain and self care for our repository, and by sharing the information (more to come soon!) with your interested networks.

We’ll be participating in IM4US 2021 Conference on September 24, co-moderating an amazing panel of people making positive differences in the lives of people who are underserved. We’ll share more details in coming issues about our presentation Advancing Integrative Pain Management Through Collaboration and Advocacy.

We have also developed a webinar, Bridging Self Care and Comprehensive Pain Management in Program and Payment Designs, to be held on September 28 from 1-2pm ET (free registration). Read the summary below for more information about this important webinar designed in collaboration with Midwest Business Group on HealthThe Pain Community, and University of Vermont Comprehensive Pain Program hosted on KnoWEwell Live.

Also, to keep connecting those dots, read Duke’s case study on University of Vermont Medical Center, which you’ll find below in this newsletter. There are several people from the UVMMC team and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont who will be participating!

Lastly, we are also building a new repository of resources and kindly request any resources you can share that would be relevant. Watch your inbox for more information coming soon!
