We are one people; we are only family. And when we finally accept these truths, then we will be able to fulfill Dr. King's dream to build a beloved community, a nation, and a world at peace with itself. - John Lewis

Thankful for his sacrifice of service and lifelong leadership.

John believed that in all of us, there exists the capacity for great courage and a longing to do what’s right. We are so lucky to have had him show us the way. I offered some thoughts today on his life and how, like him, we can give it all we have. https://t.co/7UHT86OzEj

Policymakers are learning that social factors influence health, but how we talk about those social factors can rub some the wrong way. Now, as more policymakers are listening, we in public health need to speak in a way that doesn't exclude our new audience.

The DC area is among the healthiest and wealthiest places in the nation. But our most recent report finds a 27-year gap in life expectancy across the region. Find out about neighborhood factors that influence health in our latest report for @MWCOG https://t.co/dh0ZrxVyXu
