@UCSF If a patient screens +, consider adding to problem list or referring to @UCSFDGIM Food Pharmacy at Mount Zion, every other Mon - fresh fruit/veg/grain provided to UCSF pts (peds too) who are food insecure. Doggos welcome (treats coming soon)!
Do you screen your patients for #foodinsecurity?
Ask 2 Qs: Did you worry whether food would run out before getting $ to buy more? Did the food you bought not last and you didn’t have $ to get more? (Often, Sometimes, Never). Either Q being Often or Sometimes = positive screen.
Pts who are food insecure have increased risk for negative health outcomes. #COVID exacerbated food insecurity by widening financial disparities & inequities already disproportionately present in communities of color, older adults, & low-income pts.
Zoom lecture was canceled this morning because the lecturer had to respond to the #COVID19 outbreak at San Quentin prison, which now has close to 900 cases. #medtwitter https://t.co/Ygq046qJxm

1 in 1000 Black men and boys will be killed by police in their lifetime.
1 in 1000 is also the mortality rate of measles, a risk deemed so deadly, it has near constant public health surveillance and prevention.
That we don't treat police violence the same is a form of racism.
