An incredible day at the National Academy of Medicine exploring the future of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and the importance of leadership in turbulent times #NAMmtg
I'm at the @NSF & @US_EDA's ROADMAP Summit in Washington today to engage with elected officials and industry leaders on opportunities for improving the health and economy of local communities through strategic investment in science & technology. @CSIS@ToddYoungIN@chuck4congress
Today in Siloam Springs @NWArkCouncil unveiled a new report, developed by @TrippUmbach, offering a roadmap for strengthening NW Arkansas's healthcare system by 2030. @ACHI_Net was proud to provide data analyses for this important project. Read the report: https://t.co/97KmdxTTZg
Arkansas Attorney General @AGTimGriffin, through court filings and his support for warning labels on social media platforms, shows a commendable commitment to protecting Arkansas children from social media's harms.
Today I filed suit against @Google, @YouTube, and their parent company for engaging in deceptive and unconscionable trade practices in violation of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (ADTPA).
YouTube has deceived users and parents about the safety of its platforms for youth. YouTube has profited substantially off young Arkansans because it deliberately designed its platform to be addictive by using features to keep users engaged for as long as possible. https://t.co/oeYbo3fEHV #arnews @alphabetinc
Thank you to @Bville_Schools and Superintendent @dbruickjones1 for giving me the opportunity to talk with parents in the district about the impacts of social media use and screen time on teenagers. Thanks also to @4029news for covering the conversation: https://t.co/RBnUh81ODv
While policymakers, the courts, and social media platforms consider how best to protect children from the potential harms of social media, there are steps parents can take now. I offer some tips in my latest column for the Healthcare Journal of Arkansas: https://t.co/NAxIKiI4P9
We will #NeverForget the victims of the attack on 9/11 or the bravery and selflessness of the first responders who rushed to help. May we also remember that Americans have more that unites us than divides us.
The FDA took another step toward protecting young people from #tobacco addiction this week with the release of a final rule requiring tobacco retailers to demand photo ID from any customer under 30 and restricting vending machines to 21+ facilities. https://t.co/ffgkPx7p4E
At @crystalbridges today to attend a roundtable discussion on #MaternalHealth in Arkansas cohosted by @JohnBoozman and Olivia Walton, founder and CEO of Ingeborg Investments. Great to see so many committed to addressing this urgent issue. @ALWMedSchool
Meeting the healthcare needs of Arkansans plays a growing role in the state’s economic landscape in terms of revenue generation, employment, and spending. The sector now employs 17% of Arkansas's workforce, @ArkBusiness reports. @ArkansasEDC@AR_Commerce https://t.co/t0c9ZpoPPQ
Thank you @ArkansasPBS and Dawn Scott for having me on #ARWeek to discuss ACHI's research and analysis on #MaternalHealth in Arkansas. The episode will air at 7:30 tonight and 10 a.m. Sunday.
Solving Arkansas's #MaternalHealth crisis requires addressing not only #MaternalMortality but also #SevereMaternalMorbidity, which is experienced by far more Arkansas moms. Our new explainer shows how extensive the problem is. https://t.co/9KNpkmhOZt
Congratulations to Ryan Cork, @uamshealth’s next vice chancellor for Northwest Arkansas! I know from @ACHI_Net’s past collaborations with Ryan & @NWArkCouncil that he has the knowledge and vision to lead healthcare transformation efforts in this fast-growing region of our state.
Today we join our friends and neighbors to mark #Juneteenth, also known as #FreedomDay, a commemoration of the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Americans were freed more than 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. Let's all celebrate this 2nd Independence Day.
