Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of their background or status, can access reliable health information. In the past years, misinformation has loomed large, threatening public health and shaping perceptions of science and government. Have you ever wondered how we can fight back against this tide of misinformation, especially when it comes to matters as important as health? Through his Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded project, David Scales, an assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at Critica, Inc is exploring and developing a new protective knowledge model for addressing misinformation. Check out his interview published in our "What’s Next Health: 5 Questions For…" series to learn more about his project aimed at creating a safe information environment for health and why it is important to invest in public health infrastructure to better support communities in understanding health information. https://lnkd.in/eNQNadbD #Misinformation #HealthEquity #PublicHealth

Great talk from Phil Weiser today, with attendance and questions from our friends from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Colorado Health Institute, University of Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative, and more! Favorite quote: "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. As doctors, in the literature, you know how important it is for people to feel heard. In policy, building in empathetic listening and real life stories is more persuasive than statistical analysis." Thanks for hosting and introducing, Shale Wong, and thanks for the thoughts and questions, Marian Betz MD MPH. Interested in the intersection between health research and policy?

"Our most essential task is to invite our patients to teach us what it’s like to be them, and to listen actively and empathically. Then, we might gather the essential ingredients we need to collaboratively craft a care plan that supports the patient’s vision for what makes life worth living.” - Nate Hinerman, PhD, LMFT, San Francisco, California End-of-Life can be a challenging topic to discuss, whether you are facing a terminal diagnosis, supporting a loved one or client, or simply seeking information as you begin your own research. Our End-of-Life Consultation (EOLC) resources were created to offer comprehensive information on end-of-life care and options, while normalizing conversations around death and dying.

So excited to participate in this discussion!

A picture emerges of the Washington Research Diamond, which contains Children's National Hospital, University of Maryland, Howard University, The George Washington University, Georgetown University, FDA, The National Institutes of Health, and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center! So much potential for good and innovation, from kids to adults, across the lifespan!

I am surrendering to the fact that my evolution to advance community level healing, through structural and systemic protection and actualization of individual, interpersonal, and community autonomy, agency and self-efficacy during health care service provision and utilization, threatens individuals and organizations who never intended for us to fight for, gain, and sustain our emancipation, liberation, humanity, dignity, and livelihoods. After being rejected from my own state’s MMRC (when they contacted me via LinkedIn to submit an application), I must surrender any and all desires for psychological safety and connectedness- belonging - within systems and structures never designed to serve our communities in a manner that actively nurtures and nourishes our power, purpose, passion, potential, love, and light. In my surrendering to the consequences of me being and becoming the highest version of my most authentic and unapologetic self, I will be sharing more of my journey in an effort to curate belonging for myself and others. Wherever I am, I am home. And in my home, we see, hear, and hold space for Black women, girls, and gender expansive individuals to grieve, grow, glow, and go graciously! Moving forward, I will be focusing on four action priorities leading up to the first and only national summit to address obstetric racism as a never event in obstetric quality and patient safety improvement and implementation initiatives, Obstetric Patient Safety Summit (OPSS) 2.0 in 2025: 🌟Getting folks to sign up for the 10/9 UCLA CTSI talk and participate in-person or online!!   🌟Introducing BCR’s NEW!

The first 20 beta-testers will receive 20% off their registration to various OPSS 2025 events and be invited to partner with BCR in 2025 on an improvement or implementation initiative. 🌟Mobilizing folks to meet me at the CDC Museum on the campus of the CDC headquarters in Atlanta to view my work on display in the upcoming exhibit, “Health is a Human Right: Advancing Health Equity” from 11/25/2024 to 08/1/2025!! We will be encouraging folks to take pics, share a post, reel, story, or go live about their experience on social media and tag BCR. 🌟Building public awareness and excitement in anticipation of my book release in December 2024.
