“All of you don’t have to have an MD, RN, or any of that at the end of your name to heal others. You have that and you have the ability to be compassionate, loving and kind.” -
@Vivek_Murthy #DisparitiesTalks

“Much of our disparities are related to education. We can only eliminate disparities if we educate and listen to our people.” - Dr. Joycelyn Elders #DisparitiesTalks

“Our nation is at a critical juncture and our democracy is being challenged. Don’t forget to vote.” @DrRichCarmona #DisparitiesTalks

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“It’s really important that we care about each other and to have the courage to act.” - Dr. David Satcher #DisparitiesTalks

[Suhail Johnson @JohnsonSuhail]

THIS is why we need more empathetic scholars in medicine and health care!

“You experience empathy through a relationship. It’s the kind of experience we should be giving people in medical school. Also, role modeling is something we should be showing people. In medicine we need that more than ever.”
@Vivek_Murthy #DisparitiesTalks

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“Our job (U.S. Surgeon General) is not to make policy. There will be no effective policy when partisanship is an issue. When this issue (#COVID19) gets used for political issues it’s just as divisive as the virus itself.” @DrRichCarmona #DisparitiesTalks

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“Even before #COVID19 we struggled with people dealing with loneliness. With all this stress and uncertain we’d normally reach out to someone we love. We’re not able to do that. They are recognizing how much relationships mattered in our lives.” @Vivek_Murthy #DisparitiesTalks

[Suhail Johnson @JohnsonSuhail]

Things we can do...

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“A deeper root contributor to addiction and other things is loneliness. It doesn’t have to be that way. Call people each day and make a commitment to focus and not multitasking when talking to people.” @Vivek_Murthy #DisparitiesTalks

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“I think the role of the office of the Surgeon General to really hold the highest fidelity to science & health. We have to speak with one voice to tell the public there are institutions that believe that science can be our guide.” - Dr. Vivek Murthy #DisparitiesTalks

“Only 35 states are collecting racial data on #COVID19. Unless all states do it we’re always going to be fighting for the Brown and Black people. Do not make it blanket on collecting the data. It will continue to make it hard to stop the disparities. @ANovelloMD #DisparitiesTalks

[Suhail Johnson @JohnsonSuhail]

Time to stand up!

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“We’re (Black community) really faced with major challenges. Unless we deal with disparities in health we’re going to suffer disproportionately. So it’s time to stand up and we can’t do that alone. We need our health care systems.” -Dr. David Satcher #DisparitiesTalks

[Suhail Johnson @JohnsonSuhail]

Soooooooo important!

[The Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at TCU @TCUBurnettMed]

“One of the biggest heroes are the people involved in health care putting their lives at risk. The time has come for leaders to tell the 1.6 million #DACA workers on the front lines out there to finally have the immigration rights they deserve.” - @ANovelloMD

“Although there are people trying to dismantle our current health care, as a nation we need to vote for our health care.” - Dr. David Satcher #DisparitiesTalks

“When I think about what we need to teach about Hispanics is that testing is lacking. When I look at us the industries we work in are tough. We can’t quarantine or social distance. If you don’t understand my culture you might misdiagnosed me.” - @ANovelloMD #DisparitiesTalk
