@AcademicChatter Yes, I turned down my #1 program initially because I just couldn’t figure out how I was going to live on what they were paying. If they hadn’t been able to find more $$$ my whole life trajectory would have been different. 1 less person working on SDOH.
Some books are a true dream team of editors, contributors, and topic. BE THE CHANGE is one such book and I'm so pleased it officially publishes tomorrow (and in time for #APHA2022!).
Cheers🍾to @Keely_Rees, @poliCdoc, @jody_early, and the whole team! #PublicHealth#readUP

@nytimes is on some “good people on both sides” energy with that Tom Cotton piece. The pics of segregationists weren’t enough to signal that this was a bad idea?
The call for additional research into health disparities seems, at this point, less an attempt to solve a problem and more an attempt to quiet those of us who continually call out that the treatment if ethnic and racial minorities in healthcare is unfair.
The word we hear over and over again these days is “unprecedented.” But racial and ethnic minorities, the underserved, and marginalized populations bearing the brunt of illness is our country is not unprecedented. #policychangenow#socialderterminantsofhealth#covid19
Cancer, diabetes, heart disease -- across the board, communities of color suffer increased #HealthDisparities for chronic diseases. This #MinorityHealthMonth, let’s work toward #HealthEquity by ensuring that everyone takes care of their family’s health. Pass #HEAA2020 now!
Proud to have been a title lead on #HEAA for the past 4 years. #HEAA2020 is smart, bold policy that eliminates health disparities by reducing barriers to coverage, expanding access to care and strengthening the health care system. Learn more: https://t.co/iSCYIFcmdU #HealthEquity
The Improving Social Determinants of Health Act of 2020 would address the social and economic factors such as housing, employment and education that put people at disproportionate risk for severe health impacts from #COVID19. https://t.co/TPXnVT9KEo
