@DrLinkPhD Great resource for working together to create healthy communities. Thank you!

@DrLinkPhD While other countries accepted health as a human right, US’s individualistic and “free enterprise” approach has resulted in millions of American citizens struggling to stay healthy without access to proper health care. #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD Using mental illness as the reason or excuse for violent crime continues to worsen the stigma around mental heath and draws attention away from the root cause of the problem. #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD It is our responsibility to speak up and advocate for the vulnerable populations who have no voice. We can’t be silent if we want a change. #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD Environmental injustice is a real concern. It affects millions of people in this country and worldwide. https://t.co/sibQE1cBxV #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD We have to start with ourselves by treating everyone we encounter with equal respect and making sure the quality of health care we provide remains consistent from one patient to the next. We must teach our children about diversity and acceptance. #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD In most Western European countries “social solidarity is...one of the foundation stones of society. Social solidarity is not necessarily something we value in the U.S.” Anything that promotes equality is immediately labeled as socialism in the US. #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD This is a great argument. Our system is broken and needs to be reformed. The key is — we must believe that each human being has the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” before we “find a way to embrace each other equally through health reform” #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD Although it seems like a great way to stop the misuse of ERs and educate the public about emergent vs non-emergent care, this policy could take away the only access to health care vulnerable populations currently have. #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD Such and incredible story of dedication and love for others. #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD Vulnerable populations often have no control over their living conditions, water cleanliness, food quality and its nutritious value. They need the rest of us to advocate for them. #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD Nurses must stand up and show moral courage despite the barriers that they face. https://t.co/3ZdxcVSa9S #ASUDNP603

@DrLinkPhD Give primary care providers incentives to work in rural areas or in clinics that serve low-income or homeless populations. Offer services during early am and late pm hours in addition to daytime hours to accommodate those who work during the day. #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD They lack access to preventive care (Pap tests, mammograms, STI screenings, etc.) which puts them at higher risk for cervical cancer, breast cancer and STIs that go untreated. https://t.co/Lg2wVJnThb #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD It’s sad that in the midst of a natural disaster, renters, most of whom probably live paycheck to paycheck, had to worry about making rent payments on their uninhabitable apartments. Landlords need to be a bit more lenient and understanding when a disaster strikes #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD Such a great example of kindness, selflessness and empathy during difficult times! #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@DrLinkPhD It is so important to help children deal with the stress of traumatic events. PTSD, depression and anxiety can be long lasting and negatively affect their well-being. https://t.co/qT0FdUyYe2 #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@megan_feith Economic status of a person should not determine the quality of healthcare they receive. Everyone has a right to have the best health care possible that is equitably distributed, affordable and easily accessible. #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@MegNicholsRN Primary care providers need to remember to screen patients for addiction disorders. Referring them to a specialist and giving them a list of community resources would be a start. #ASUDNP603

[Natalia Sheesley @NS5822]

@MegNicholsRN We can all help by volunteering and donating healthy foods to food pantries, supporting local farmers by buying local produce at the farmers’ markets, and educating our patients about nutrition. #ASUDNP603
