Family Medicine Obstetrics is one of the keys to combating Black Maternal and Infant Mortality.

Collaborative efforts with OB, Pediatrics, Midwives, Doulas, and Lactation Consultants to offer truly wrap around care is how we are going to get desperately needed results.

"I am shocked and saddened at the lack of coordination surrounding vaccinations for front-line healthcare providers and staff who are not corporate healthcare affiliated."

Thank you @AHirschfeld5 for fighting to #Protect340b so our most vulnerable patients can still afford their medications!! https://t.co/GIoRRhcO9Q

[A Hirschfeld MD @AHirschfeld5]

340b is crucial to providing care to patients who face various barriers to access, which includes more and more Americans in the context of COVID-19 and unemployment... we must fight to preserve access to this program. #protect340B

@vboggiano @alsdoc1 @RussellKohl @aafp Good times, so grateful for both of them (and you!!)

This world is a lot right now. I’m currently in the “keep on my hair bonnet all day including to answer the front door” stage of mourning. I simply don’t have the energy to concel the full extent of my Blackness in front of white people.

And it feels good. #GeorgeFloydProtests

[Santina Wheat,MD,MPH (she/her) @tinawheat]

I remember the hope I felt when Obama became our president. Now Chicago is under curfew because of riots instigated by racial injustice. We have taken too many steps back. We need this country to have leaders who denounce racism and move us to a more hopeful future

[Brittani James, MD @DrBrittaniJ]

The thing that the ppl who are critiquing the #Minneapolisprotests don’t get is that the protests are the result of a lifetime of black ppl being systemically murdered by the state, & then being denied justice, repeatedly & intentionally by the same state.
