Words cannot express the incredible, sudden loss of our beloved Sharon Kaufman over the weekend 😢💔

Incredibly grateful to have spent time with her recently and holding her family, loved ones, and all those touched by her presence in my heart. 1/

Appointing Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith to be one of the doctors to lead the new Coronavirus Task Force, makes it clear that Biden intends to fulfil his promise of following the science — not politics — on the road to stopping the virus. Read the full article at the LINK IN OUR BIO.

“So far, the greatest unmet need in successfully fighting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the US relates to the insights provided by the social sciences” Yes & the arts and humanities are also critical to the study of empathy. https://t.co/SNZgXiPp8U

I love it when a leading organization chooses health and health care over caution, tradition and all things that too often limit the impact of medical organizations.
I hope many more will follow suit.
Bravo @NEJM!

Treatment of home care workers during COVID should provoke outrage. We need regulatory change to support these skilled professionals.

[Ken Covinsky @geri_doc]

A large proportion of home health workers are women of color and immigrants. Allison notes that their poor treatment has its genesis in structural racism. The findings of @mad_sters is a call to action. We need structural reforms /7
