@Health311 This pandemic is more than a global health emergency. It is a systemic human development crisis and policies to reduce vulnerabilities and build capacities to tackle crises are vital if individuals and societies are to better recover from shocks like this #SDGs

@Health311 Increases in global temperature, sea level rise, ocean acidification and other climate change impacts affect coastal areas and low-lying coastal countries. The survival of many societies, and of the biological support systems of the planet, is at risk #SDGs

No safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke exists. If someone in the family smokes, quit or take it outside, don't put your family at risk because of your unhealthy behavior. @Health311 #famhlth

Just as height can be passed down, so can mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and more. Check in on the ones you love the most, and understand that it's not your fault if you struggle. #famhlth @Health311

Not everyone likes to exercise, but physical activity is important in maintaining health. Choose an activity that you actually enjoy! Here is a list below of some ideas: #healthmain @Health311

Vaccines are a way to combat health issues and diseases in yourself and in your community by creating immunity. This chart shows the vaccine and the age that children should be receiving their vaccines! #healthmain @Health311

Our health relies on a regulatory system that lends itself to delay and opacity (Flint, MI). Instead, our laws should specifically dictate how and when officials must step in and alert the public of unsafe lead levels. #hlthed @Health311

@Health311 "In New York, recent testing revealed that at least 82 percent of the nearly 5,000 public schools have drinking water lead levels that exceed the state action level of 15 parts per billion." #hlthed Read more here: https://t.co/Stogn4FW1c

@Health311 The US healthcare system is open to all people to get care. The EMTALA forbids denial of care based on lack of ability to pay. Unfortunately, healthcare related debt is the silent killer, and turns many people away from receiving the care they need. #hlthpolicy

[anniezempp @anniezempp]

#hlthpolicy 10.9% of Americans didn't have health care coverage at some point in 2019. Thankfully, that number is down since the start of the decade, but that still means that 29 million people live without basic health care. @Health311

[anniezempp @anniezempp]

#costofhlthcare By far, the US has the highest cost of healthcare compared to other countries. Yet, we rank low for quality of healthcare among comparable wealthy countries. What are we paying for if it's not quality? @Health311

@Health311 This article lists some ways that nurses can improve their cultural competence. First step is to observe yourself and see where you are when you first get started learning this. It's a great way to see how far you will grow! https://t.co/aihEBfZ30K #fortheculture

@Health311 I find it strange that we aren't required to take a foreign language as it would be extremely helpful in communicating to patients with a different cultural background than us #fortheculture

Socioeconomic class and the diversion of the water determined food access. Cheap, surplus commodities were the only options that the Pima had to eat, therefore increasing the rate of diabetes. This same pattern can be seen in fast food prices in lower classes @Health311 #badsugr

@Health311 "1 in 4 say they have no one to talk to about their problems" I found it interesting that the lack of culture, tradition, and community is a factor that is detrimental to the health of Americans and is part of what is negatively impacting these immigrants. #becAmer

Low-income adults are 50% more likely to suffer heart disease than top earners.

"Like gunning the engine of a car, constant activation of the stress response wears down the body’s system, resulting in higher rates of disease and early death." https://t.co/9f40KC8K5v @Health311 #unnaturalcauses

You either go after the life you want or settle for the life you get.

@Health311 The body should be your most prized possession! Take care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health, even when you're young. #itsallabouthealth
