thanks @genevievefri for working with me on this piece!

"In this uncertain environment, wage equality within hospitals -- measured by the ratio between what employees and executives are paid -- matters more than ever."

[Sabrina Wang @brinawang]

back on youtube today talking about a topic near & dear to my heart: how to write an op-ed!

storytelling is one important way to advocate for the social changes we believe in -- hope this is a useful resource for those of you with something to say 😌

i truly hope that these blows to the fragile diversity, access, inclusion frame encourage students, staff & faculty to organize for more transformational education, like open enrollment, free tuition, dropping standardized tests, community control mechanisms over private boards

oh my god i am in love with this story https://t.co/1rUuwHzU93

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Sharing this piece I wrote in 2020 for Abolition for the People explaining why Black cops don’t make policing any less anti-Black.

In fact Black cops & politicians often act to reify systemic racism while claiming their presence indicates racism is over

with rising rates of gun violence affecting our nation’s adolescents, “stop the bleed” training can be life-saving.

more info on the training and how to complete it (takes just 30 min!) in the piece below—give it a read!!

[Symphony Fletcher @SymphonyFletch]

Grateful to have written this piece for the @Suntimes especially in light of recent tragedies to strike our CPS community.

Youth need to be trained on how to respond to life-threatening emergencies they witness https://t.co/1vXIL3pTsp

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

Happening Tomorrow! The July issue of @Health_Affairs is devoted to papers discussing how we can prevent diabetes & improve care & outcomes for patients. Join us for a discussion with the authors and analysts as they present their work. #DiabetesAndHealth https://t.co/uIkttw8sqj

[Sabrina Wang @brinawang]

as we write: “the fragmented U.S. healthcare system, with its myriad payers & payment models, is structurally at odds with the need for care continuity.” we maintain that for diabetes & other chronic conditions, greater system level alignment is needed to truly improve outcomes.

[Sabrina Wang @brinawang]

—finding that most improvements have been modest and restricted to process measures (eg A1c testing) rather than outcomes (eg A1c control.) we should consider these results as we continue to innovate in the pursuit of a more effective, accessible, and equitablehealthcare system.

[Sabrina Wang @brinawang]

to force people to carry/deliver unwanted pregnancies undermines the beauty and sacrifice of parenthood. the decision to take on bodily trauma in order to create life is so meaningful. without roe, trauma is forced onto the body instead, and that meaning is completely gone. 5/5

[Sabrina Wang @brinawang]

i’ve spent the last two weeks on my OB-GYN rotation, helping deliver babies and care for patients with high risk pregnancies.

i’ve always been pro-choice, but these two weeks have made today’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade feel even more chilling. 1/

[Sabrina Wang @brinawang]

this illustrates the sacrifice of parenthood. 25 yrs ago, my mom—like many of my patients—laid down and allowed herself be cut open so i could come into the world and live. there is so much beauty in that: in wanting a child so much that you’re willing to face all the risks. 4/
