Historic redlining policies’ negative impact on health outcomes resonates even today.

To achieve health equity, we need to address health through the lens of structural racism.

How we track data impacts the decisions we make in healthcare.

Here’s a great article on how to minimize racism in informatics.

Hospitalization rates for RSV among American Indian and Alaska Native Children was up to SEVEN times higher than average.

The impact of health inequities cannot be understated.

In addressing childhood obesity, we also need to address the impact of racism on our children's health. In this recent study, racial discrimination is associated with higher BMI.

During this time of pediatric mental health crisis, we need to recognize that there are segments of our population disproportionately affected.

Equity matters.

The words we use in order to address disparities within medical education matter to communities:

Pathways not Pipelines

Measures that don't account for inequities may inappropriately penalize those caring for the underserved and worsen inequities.

“any action that comes with the risk of decreasing diversity in the health professions and limiting the ability to address existing and projected physician workforce shortages is contrary to improving our country’s public health.” -AAMC

Another reminder that there is still much work to be done. We can start this journey at medical schools.

Start an @Aequitas_Health chapter and recognize the future physician leaders of health equity!

Diversity in the images we use to teach our medical students and the future generation of providers is vital to achieving health equity!

Health equity requires all to be involved

In the competitive world of med school, awards can make or break careers, but there is no recognition for students focused on equity and service. Dr. Benson Hsu founded @Aequitas_Health to recognize those future physician-leaders who are addressing America’s health inequities.

[Aequitas Health @Aequitas_Health]

New research demonstrates that increasing the diversity of physicians contributes to improved health equity!

"In the medical system, we're paid to provide illness care, not prevent issues from happening. How do we encourage and support doctors to think about equity, knowing the current system doesn't necessarily reward that?" @DrBensonPedsICU on why he started @Aequitas_Health

[Aequitas Health @Aequitas_Health]
