@NationalMedAssn @McDougle2020 Yes, there are black folks in Arizona, and yes that includes black physicians. Thanks to our own @KPooleMD & @dwoods42000 for organizing a good dinner meeting.

[Kenneth Poole Jr @KPooleMD]

Fellowship & relationships are the best part of this thing, which must be kept alive. Tonight’s @AZblackdocs/@NationalMedAssn meeting in Scottsdale was a good one. Let’s keep leaning on one another for strength. #blackmeninmedicine #blackwomeninmedicine @McDougle2020

Congratulations to our newly installed 121st National Medical Association President, Dr. Leon McDougle. We wish you success as you continue to lead us in the areas of being a leading force for parity in medicine, elimination of health disparities and promotion of optimal health.

@YaCommander Not in particular, but there are amazing black physicians all over the Valley of the Sun. We do not have an updated published list, but you can certainly ask around and look on the major health system sites, and names will certainly surface.

@BlackMenRun is about betterment of self & community through investment in health & well-being. It’s about leadership; it’s about culture. It’s a symbol of fearless, unapologetic black male strength, resilience, & solidarity.

Disturbing times call for action. The ABC and our cardiovascular partners are extremely disturbed by violent acts that cut to the core of the lives of our community and denounce incidents of racism and violence.

How viral videos of killings of black men take a toll on black male mental health https://t.co/AXybtCEETe

[Association of Black Cardiologists @ABCardio1]

ABC & our partners have been at forefront of addressing cardiovascular disparities in our communities for decades and it is crucial, now more than ever, that our efforts help to mitigate the unacceptable disparities among our most vulnerable populations.

I’m tired of seeing black boys & men die. I’m tired of overt racism; limited opportunities; low expectations; poor SDoH & health disparities; bias; understated “micro-aggressions;” disingenuous allies; professional isolation; & people acting like none of it exists. #ICantBreathe

[Kenneth Poole Jr @KPooleMD]

During medical school admissions discussions I have had to explain to colleagues that education & income do not confer white privilege to blacks nor do they insulate blacks from racism. This unfortunate situation clearly illustrates such. #ethnostress #fatigue

[Kenneth Poole Jr @KPooleMD]

Many [including healthcare professionals] forget or fail to understand how difficult and devastating our new societal directives are, as the ability to shelter-in-place, practice social distancing, and work/learn from home are privileges.

[Kenneth Poole Jr @KPooleMD]

CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission...
