The story of Black women leading the way to secure #votingrights for all - and through activism in the Black church no less! Just a little #BlackExcellence to start the day 💛 @shesa1der
In the fall of 1916, four years before the 19th Amendment would make it unconstitutional to deny voting rights on the basis of sex, African-American women in Chicago were readying to cast their first ballots ever for President. #VotingRights

Just published - our editorial on ending racial disparities in buprenorphine access for opioid use disorder. With recent changes to federal policies on bupe prescribing & worsening overdose deaths, now is the time to use bupe as a strategy to end racial disparities.

“Fewer than a fifth of U.S. jails, and just 13% in the South, start people on medications to treat opioid use withdrawal, according to a U.S. Department of Justice report published in April.”
If we want to reduce recidivism, we must begin care in jails. https://t.co/f3bnHHgjLA
Grateful for the partnership between @FoodlinkNY and @UR_Med that makes this emergency relief possible. A huge step toward structurally competent, whole-person care!
This week I’ve signed orders to prescribe our 1st emergency food packages @ Strong Recovery. The ultimate hope is a better social safety net that prevents this need, but this is a win for addressing food insecurity and #sdoh in medicine
Having a full circle moment. I am currently the supervising physician for the daughter of one of my high school teachers! The pressure is on to step up my #MedEd game☺️ Shout out to Mr. Hathaway and his daughter, current psychiatry resident, Dr. Hathaway! @urmc_psych
Quoting @DrJessIsomMDMPH during this health equity symposium! We have much more work to do and @UR_Med recognizes that we must be deliberate and consistent if we are going to see change. Enjoyed the participating in this panel! @drnanabennett@bh4council@dredithwilliams
Fabulous panel @UR_Med Quality Institute Symposium on Addressing Health Equity. So many things to keep working on. @DrMyraMathis “from awake, to woke, to working.”@bh4council “psychological safety”. Much to do…

One question that I asked at EVERY residency interview was about mental health support available for residents & if there are opportunities to see providers (therapists and/or psychiatrists) OUTSIDE of the program… I encourage #Match2024 applicants to know what’s available.
As of March 2022, practitioners working in hospitals, clinics, & emergency rooms can request an exception from the DEA - allowing them to dispense a 3-day supply of methadone to treat patients experiencing acute opioid withdrawal symptoms. https://t.co/t6TFZThCYj
