As we celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth from September 15 to October 15, it is important to honor the rich and vibrant culture, heritage, and contributions of the Hispanic and Latino communities within the nursing profession, and more broadly within our society. The nearly 200,000 Hispanic and Latino RNs/LPNs in the country are integral to creating a more diverse healthcare workforce and improving access to culturally-competent care. Their efforts improve patient outcomes and foster inclusivity in the healthcare system. At GW, we recognize nursing is enriched by the diverse backgrounds, languages, and experiences that Hispanic and Latino nurses bring to the profession. We value the strength that diversity contributes to our shared pursuit of appreciation, understanding, and equity of all. And we encourage you to participate in as many ways as you can this month to honor and celebrate the Hispanic and Latino cultures.

In 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called loneliness a public health epidemic, noting that as many as 50% of adults in the U.S. reported experiencing loneliness—even before the COVID-19 pandemic isolated all of us from our loved ones and real-world social networks. Dr. Theeke added that "there's about 50 years of literature that tells us it's been impacting health for a long time." Read the full article below! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gpNP_uxN

The Washington Post published a compelling article by Annie Gowen today highlighting the tragic maternal mortality crisis in southeast Arkansas. The article portrays some of the major factors influencing the maternal mortality crisis the US including, maternity services being closed decreasing access to care, inability to obtain contraception and abortion services, and refusal of some states like Arkansas to expand Medicaid coverage for mothers and babies following birth when about 50% of the maternal deaths occur. As this crisis continues to grow, one solution is to educate more midwives, who provide a holistic approach to women’s reproductive health. The need for midwives is critical to address the alarming maternal mortality rate that disproportionally affects Black and Indigenous mothers who die at over three times the rate of White mothers. Midwives make a difference because they individualize care, addressing both the physical and the psychosocial needs of patients and their families.
