Appreciating Day 1 of Physician Leadership Institute and this quote shared by Dr. Rissmiller about leading in a VUCA environment. “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean @AtriumHealth @QueensUniv #VUCA

Social drivers of health go deeper than access to food and housing, but rather, lie entwined in the stories of what people, their families and the generations that came before them have experienced on a personal,
community, and systemic level.

[Savannah Massengill @savannah_simons]

.@AtriumHealth's @KinneilC and @LevineChildrens' @ShivuSmilesMD explain what the social drivers of health are (access to healthy foods, safe housing and transportation) and how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have a lifetime impact on health.

@ariannahuff Just as ignorant as he is of the fly over his head.

[Shivani Mehta @ShivuSmilesMD]

I cannot let go of the black fly on the head of this white man denying the existence of systemic racism. So fitting.

@ibclark @CharMeckSchools Pediatricians want in on this work too, to connect our patients who might need additional support or fall thru the cracks. Just yesterday a patient in our clinic said she was finishing her KG year listening on a phone. Thanks @ibclark for the call to action.
