We pediatric subspecialists and hospital-based providers too have an opportunity and responsibility to address poverty in children, and doing so will interrupt health inequities. Thank you @DrHealthEquity@PujaUmaretiya@JustinekahnMD@AbbyRosenbergMD

Our new study in @BloodJournal! We show that tractable peripheral blood monocyte-based gene expression signatures can detect IL-17- and CSF-1-dysregulated cGVHD and are detectable in patients. This could lead to rational therapy selection. @fredhutch https://t.co/6Bt75nVN3N
Does historic redlining—a form of structural racism—affect survival in young people with cancer? Study finds higher mortality rates among patients living in neighborhoods previously denied mortgages due to racial demographics.

Pediatricians, this is our lane. Every children’s hospital in the US should commit to accepting a percentage of these children for treatment. The determinant of harm done is directly due to our tax dollars, and we must do our part to repair.
Breaking the silence on racism in NICUs: It affects patients, families & health outcomes. Addressing structural racism is crucial for equitable healthcare. Let's start the conversation💡

A low-income community near Boston assigned individuals by lottery to receive a monthly cash benefit. Those who received the benefit had less use of the ED, particularly for behavioral health & substance use, and decreased hospital admissions from the ED. https://t.co/nJoE6w3I0L
I'm pleased to amplify voices of NICU parents and staff who reflected on racial inequities & make recommendations to move forward together in the REJOICE study, phase 2!
To start, hope: “There’s radical optimism in that we’re in a different time and we’re not doing it alone”🌅
Congresswoman @IlhanMN spoke at the student protest at the University of Minnesota today.
The University is in her district and there has been an encampment there as well.
Correct me if I’m wrong…I think she may be the first member of congress to speak at one of these protests since they began.
Giving us 15 minutes to pack up and leave from our housing is seriously twisted. I am not surprised at all — I am glad administration is finally showing their face to the general student body, because student organizers have known from the start how evil these administrators are.
Excellent engaging talks on language equity and diversifying research participation for children with cancer. 🔥 panel @DrJMRobles @JennyRuizMD Dr. Aristizabal and Dr. Sanchez #aspho2024
Everyone deserves a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Meet six trailblazing Black pioneers who have paralleled this through their critical contributions to #CancerResearch and #HealthEquity. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/qrcr9Apb66
