Data vs. Humanity: Striking the Balance in Public Health In public health, data is our compass. It guides policies, informs decisions, and helps us measure impact. But behind every statistic is a story—the stories of real people, real communities, and real lives touched. It’s easy to get lost in the numbers and forget that each data point represents a person with unique experiences, challenges, and needs. Data can tell us where problems exist, but it’s the human stories that inspire the urgency to act and bring lasting change. The most successful public health initiatives balance the power of data with empathy and connection. When we blend these two approaches, we create solutions that are both effective and meaningful. As we push forward in this ever-evolving field, let’s continue to use data to guide us but never lose sight of the faces behind the numbers. How do you keep humanity at the center of your data-driven work? #PublicHealth #DataDriven #HumanImpact #Healthcare #CommunityHealth #EmpathyInAction

I recently left the agency, role, and team of my dreams for M Booth Health, and here's why: we're intentionally designed to put equity and inclusion at the center of everything we do. My MPH heart has found its way home in the agency's POV and commitments, especially the Chosen Circles project. “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.” – MLK Jr. The latest Chosen Circles project focuses on Hispanic/Latino Americans' health information sources. These insights are crucial for healthcare agencies and pharma companies to reduce disparities and improve outcomes. Previous reports focused on Black and LGBTQ Americans. I encourage you to explore these vital insights and incorporate in your work! #HealthEquity #InclusiveHealthcare #ChosenCircles #healthdisparities
