Dr.Sterling developed a training to teach home health aides about heart failure. She found 3 out of 5 home health aides treat patients with heart failure yet out of the more than 300 she surveyed 2/3 lacked that kind of training @ny1 @mad_sters @1199SEIUTEF @RuschellBoone

I can finally say that my research focusing on the effects of COVID on academic achievement has been accepted for publication!! First paper & as first author! 😁😁

When you’re coming home from the hospital, it can be a relief to know that your doctor’s orders include home care. At the same time, you may be unsure about what to expect and how to prepare. https://t.co/0oRkXhT6uZ

Every time I say "underserved communities" I feel like that's not enough. I should be saying "historically neglected and excluded from care."

That seems more accurate.
