Navigating COVID-19: Insights from Health Experts on Mask Mandates and Medicaid Changes

We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.
In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Dr. Heather Bell and Dr. Kurt DeVine take a detour from their usual focus on addiction to tackle the pressing issue of COVID-19. With the recent Minnesota state mask mandate, they kick off the discussion with Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, who underscores the importance of mask-wearing for public health. Following her, Dr. George Morris from CentraCare shares the organization's stance on masking policies and the rare instances where exemptions apply.
The conversation then shifts to Dr. Nathan Chomilo, DHS medical director, who breaks down the federal changes in Medicaid and MA since the pandemic began. This episode offers a comprehensive look at how these changes affect healthcare access and the role of telehealth in bridging gaps. The hosts also spotlight a Somali healthcare initiative aimed at improving services for underrepresented communities. Throughout the episode, Dr. Bell and Dr.
DeVine emphasize that connection is key to combating addiction, especially in these isolating times. Their expert guests provide valuable insights that make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to stay informed about COVID-19 and its broader impacts.
