The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.
Hands down, @DrReedTuckson is the best panel moderator. I’ve never heard such thoughtful, challenging, and important questions than at this #healthequity panel at #AHIP2023. 👏🏻
“Most people think of labor and birth as the most dangerous part of pregnancy. But new research [finds] that substantial risks persist for a full year after birth itself. The deadliest time for mothers is actually after the baby is born.” https://t.co/YXpTTOKNxG
My takeaway here is to try be open to conversation.
Taking a transactional approach to relationships would have led to me skipping the meeting with Rachel.
But, since I was open to just having a good convo, I ended up making a material impact on my career.
You never know 🦋
Someone on Reddit asked, “if you’re injured as a result of a mass shooting, are you responsible for that medical bill?” And I find that a uniquely American question.
To fix US health, we must demedicalize our concept of care. The most essential care for building health and enabling people to live free and full lives isn't provided in hospitals or clinics; it happens in communities between neighbors. We need public policies that enable that.5/
Could not agree more: "it’s time to make #WIC a national priority, so more mothers, babies, and children can access the food they need to thrive." https://t.co/ZcGgoxLTYo
A battle we are not winning…
— Budget of CDC for preventing chronic disease: $1 billion
— Budget of food, beverage and restaurant companies to sell sugary, processed food: $14 billion

Mother's day is coming up and I wanted to share my GO-TO gift guide for mothers!
It's something moms would literally die for! We've been begging for it!
Reason 1,000,010 why US healthcare is messed up - Michigan’s Medicaid program is pushing a blanket in-person care policy instead of virtual care post the PHE. Insane.
Civil servants rarely get the credit they deserve and I want to directly thank Jason Bennett for really pushing his coding team out of their comfort zone and to creatively find ways to improve access to evidence-based interventions that will close health equity gaps.
I think the DTx arc has led directly to the current boom in virtual care companies, and I am optimistic some will be successful by controlling more of the care delivery process. I hope to see more DTx pivots into full virtual care models in the future. https://t.co/Tk73GCjSV0
"We treat paid leave like a job perk — not a human right... Everything about society is telling [parents] that they are on their own. Society is broken." — @reshmasaujani@OathCare
Amazing to see a CEO of a massive organization highlight this challenge. The more honest and real we are, the more we drive support for women in need. Kudos to you @KarenSLynch 🙌🏻
Most health equity efforts stratify existing quality & outcome measures by e.g., race/ethnicity. This does not shed light on root causes. We need valid tools to measure health care inequities and enable organizations to action: https://t.co/KkUckzjftv @SAgrawalMD@RamaSalhiMD
Why the heck is health care still tied to employment! In this era of layoffs happening left & right, this should strike us as more ridiculous/ a random consequence of historical events than ever.
