Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women in the U.S., even though they are diagnosed with the disease at lower rates. For Cheshire Medical Center resident physician Betsy Assoumou, MD, MBA, this alarming statistic is personal. Born in Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa and raised in western Massachusetts, she watched her mother battle breast cancer for a decade, ultimately dying from her disease in 2016. As a child, Dr. Assoumou dreamed of becoming a physician, but initially pursued a career in accounting instead. Losing her mother prompted her to change careers in her early 30s and pursue her dream. Now 37, she's a member of Cheshire's first family medicine residency cohort. As she told The Keene Sentinel it's her way of honoring her mom's memory and doing her part to improve public health. “That was sort of the torch I lifted, in a way, to remember my mom, but also [to] be the thing she always wanted me to be, which is a doctor,” Dr. Assoumou said. “I wish someone had been there from the beginning for my mom to help her prioritizing her health because she was prioritizing education, striving, making a living. And I felt like ... the biggest impact I could have was just from the beginning, doing things that prevent a disease from happening.” https://bit.ly/4dUIUwM

A team of Dartmouth engineers and cancer researchers has received funding from Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop surgical image guidance technology. Dartmouth Health surgeon Eric R. Henderson, MD, serves as the clinical director for the award while Lawrence M. Dagrosa, MD, and Elinar F. Sverrisson, MD, are the surgical investigators who will conduct clinical testing. Team leaders include Kimberly Samkoe, PhD, Keith Paulsen, PhD, Ryan Halter, PhD, and Scott Davis, PhD, all members of Dartmouth Cancer Center’s Translational Engineering in Cancer Research Program. They will lead researchers at six collaborating organizations to develop a laparoscope-integrating imaging solution that will be especially helpful in prostate cancer surgeries. An agency within the US Department of Health and Human Services, ARPA-H's contribution enables progress in the Biden Cancer Moonshot Initiative. Learn more about this award: https://lnkd.in/euiDFD9W

“Everyone is a teacher, and everyone is a learner,” says Kathleen Broglio, DNP, associate professor of medicine and a nurse practitioner of palliative medicine at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Clinics. That is the model Project ECHO® at Dartmouth Health uses to connect people and their communities in a virtual setting, sharing knowledge between participants and subject matter experts. The program is especially helpful for rural communities seeking expertise on a broad range of health and medical issues. The result: patients get the right care, when they need it, close to home. https://lnkd.in/dNsmr8Cw

"We believe that integrated nonprofit medical systems that share a commitment to providing access to high-quality care for our communities, as well as training the healthcare workforce of the future, should have the support they need to remain sustainable." - Joanne M. Conroy, MD Click through to read about the recent visit of our CEO and President, along with the leaders of The University of Vermont Health Network and MaineHealth, to Washington, DC, to discuss #RuralHealth and patient access to healthcare.
I was proud to join with my counterparts at The University of Vermont Health Network and MaineHealth, Sunny Eappen, MD, MBA, and Andy Mueller, MD, last week to advocate for rural health systems like ours in Washington, DC. Dartmouth Health, MaineHealth and UVM share similar academic missions, healthcare service delivery models, support for research and innovation, nonprofit statuses, and deep commitments to the communities we serve. The patients in our rural communities face common challenges – growing older, suffering from chronic disease, unmet behavioral and mental health needs, and a lack of affordable housing, among others. Ongoing workforce shortages and reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid that do not cover the cost of providing care compound the challenges of preserving access to vital services. Sunny, Andy and I, and our teams, know what we must do to take care of our patients and communities. We believe that integrated nonprofit medical systems that share a commitment to providing access to high-quality care for our communities, as well as training the healthcare workforce of the future, should have the support they need to remain sustainable. Equitable access to quality healthcare in our rural regions depends upon it. https://bit.ly/4dfhuSj
