Who we are is how we have healed. Both individually and as a nation, we are all the sum of our scars — historical, physical, spiritual and emotional. The healing we have not done haunts every crisis we face today. #WhoWeAreIsHowWeHaveHealed

Malcolm X said, “If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made.” We are physicians, expert on attending to wounds. Yet we haven’t pulled knife out the wound of racism. (1/3)

In this exclusive guest commentary, Scott Frank, MD, MS, explains to Healio readers why the health care community can no longer ignore racism and offers suggestions on how medical professionals can make a difference. https://t.co/klvI9p4I0u @CWRUSOM @scottfrankmd

This wound was first inflicted 400 years ago through slavery, driven deeper with every cruel, traumatic twist of the knife. This wound has been fatal to countless African Americans. Fellow physicians, it is time for us to pull out the knife and LEAD the healing process. (3/4)

I am generally not a meme-maker, but some simple cut and paste brought this to life. And, true that. #nopityremorsefear #covidnator

The prophet Marvin Gaye What's Goin' On circa 1971
A Mother's Day anthem and prayer for 2020
"Mother, mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today"

A true community represents a group of people who value us for the things we value about ourselves Thank you for your comity Thank you for your unity Thanks to those who accept community and offer it forward This is how we are #inthetogether #ComityplusUnityequalscommunity

[Scott Frank @scottfrankmd]

#inthetogether
Comity + Unity = Community
Comity refers to a state of civility courtesy and considerate behavior toward others. We used to do that. We cannot have community without comity.
Unity, from the Latin "unus" or "one", refers to a state of togetherness. #Comityplusunity

An ounce of public health is with a pound of healthcare. Public health spending is proven to improve health outcomes. More healthcare spending does not #EverybodyEqualsAnyone #Good2Bapublichealther

[Governor Mike DeWine @GovMikeDeWine]

I think when we come out of this, one of the lessons we are learning as a country is that we have to invest more public health. It's not a Democrat problem, it's not a Republican problem.

Covid problems are us problems; Covid solutions are us solutions; Covid tragedy burdens us all; benefits accrued from effective Covid intervention belong to us all Empower us all From the article Principles for Authentic Population Health

#Itsnotaboutyouitsnotaboutthemitsaboutus Interventions are often framed to save “those people” from themselves We do not acknowledge that perhaps greed not poverty is the root cause of many health problems Poverty belongs to them Greed belongs to us #MutualEmpowerment

The interrelatedness of survival is a necessary insight of Authentic Public Health Mutual Empowerment is reciprocal and iterative Grows in strength as partners grant power to each other Power willingly assigned & shared is power that becomes real & sustained #MutualEmpowerment
