As we round up for the Easter break, what's a great example of leadership you've seen recently? Here's an example of visionary leadership from Shlomit Schaal, MD, PhD, MHCM and her team at HOUSTON METHODIST HOSPITAL. Recognising and appreciating the intrinsic value of your leaders as whole human beings and not just professionals has a ripple effect. Everyone starts feeling better about themselves and will be more likely to interact with and encourage others in the same way. It's a win-win. Bravo to Houston Methodist for modelling this so well. How can you encourage your team? Own your #value Use your #VO1CE

I recently had the honour of writing for the CURAM Magazine on 'Irelands New Dawn - Navigating the Complex Terrain of Immigration and Counteracting Far-Right Extremism' available here - https://lnkd.in/e5jxsE9M Many thanks to the editors for the opportunity to address this important issue. The article is even more poignant with recent events in Newtown Mount Kennedy, alongside the alarming demonstrations by masked individuals outside the homes of Minister Roderic O'Gorman and Minister Helen McEntee, are stark reminders of the challenges facing our democracy. Regardless of how you may feel about government policy, these are Ministers, who serve our country and have families and personal lives just like any of us, and have been targeted in a manner that goes beyond legitimate political dissent. This unsettling trend, fuelled by far-right ideologies, seeks not just to protest but to intimidate and sow division. The escalation of these protests and the threatening rhetoric employed by some claiming to defend Irish values betray a disturbing move towards radicalism. These actions are not isolated incidents but part of a broader, more worrying global resurgence of far-right extremism. The internet, social media platforms, and AI algorithms have unprecedented power to amplify fringe views and create confirmation biases that accelerate radicalization. Such digital environments manipulate public perception, fostering a climate of anger and fear that threatens to undermine reasoned discourse and replace it with reactionary fervor. This is a critical moment for our nation. The principles of democracy, the rule of law, and the integrity of our social fabric are under threat. It is incumbent upon us, the citizens who cherish democratic values, to stand against these divisive forces. We must actively engage in educating ourselves and our communities about the dangers posed by such manipulative tactics and the importance of critical thinking. We need to reclaim our political discourse from those who would manipulate it for nefarious purposes. It is essential that we approach future elections and political engagements with a mindset that values reasoned, informed debate over emotional and reactionary voting. Our response as a community, and as a nation, must be firm and rooted in the principles of democracy and respect for individual rights and freedoms. Let us be the voice of reason and the beacon of critical thinking, for the stakes are high, and the threat to our cohesive society is real and present at our doorstep.

Congratulations Center for Children's Advocacy and Yale New Haven Hospital for being honored by the Connecticut Hospital Association for your Medical-Legal Partnership team! Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) are an innovative approach to delivering legal services by integrating legal expertise into healthcare settings. These partnerships address the social determinants of health, such as housing, access to benefits, and domestic violence, by providing patients with legal assistance alongside medical care. By identifying and addressing legal issues that impact health, MLPs improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the well-being of communities. This holistic model of care fosters collaboration between healthcare providers and legal professionals, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive support to tackle both their medical and legal needs. #MedicalLegalPartnership #MLP #LegalAid #HealthJustice #AccessToJustice #HealthcareInnovation #LegalServices #PublicHealth #HealthcareCollaboration

That's a wonderful initiative.👍. Even in Japan, AbbVie ‘s head office building turned on blue light during April, ( https://lnkd.in/gm-qzVKN ) but about other activities they only said "we didn't know" when I talked to them. And they also said that they would been banned to be direct to patients. Is it difficult in Japan? If they start doing it all over the world, I feel sorry leaving the sponsor only to abbvie. I hope we patients can also become effective stakeholders, but there is no system called fundraising, and it is not socially acceptable in Japan. ーーーーーーーーーーー About AbbVie in Parkinson’s At AbbVie, we are aiming to transform Parkinson's disease care and improve outcomes for those living with this progressive condition.
