The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) Center for Justice in Public Health (CJPH) commemorates this February 2024 as Black History Month, recognizing the important role of Black Americans in U.S. History. Black Americans have significantly contributed to the nation’s greatness through innovations like Garrett Morgan’s three-way traffic light; Dr. Charles Drew’s contributions to the development of a safe, effective, blood collection system and organizing America’s first large scale blood bank system; and Katherine Johnson’s role as the first Black woman to work as a NASA scientist and playing an important role in America’s moon landing. Despite these substantial contributions, Black people continue to face systemic discrimination based on the societal construct of race. As we honor these achievements, NACDD is committed to advancing health equity, racial equity, and social justice toward a more just and equitable society.

Throughout South Carolina, we’ve been building upon a track record of economic development success for several decades. While that momentum has continued to push us onward and upward, the South Carolina Department of Commerce recognizes that no one — no company, nor industry — is immune from the technological advancements happening throughout all business sectors.     With a nod to our heritage, an eye toward the future and a spirit of embracing innovation, S.C. Commerce today unveiled our new agency brand and tagline, Launch to Legacy. Ultimately, we want businesses to know that Launch to Legacy reinforces the fact that you can start, thrive, expand and build a legacy right here — and S.C. Commerce will be there to support you, every step of the way.    The rebranding process has taken over a year and involved many of our key partners and stakeholders to ensure representation across as many industry verticals as possible. It’s been a thoughtful and deliberate process, uncovering and focusing on some of South Carolina’s greatest attributes. We’re proud of the result, and we’re excited for what the future of economic development holds throughout our state!    Learn more about #LaunchToLegacy, including what it means according to a few South Carolina CEOs, in their own words: https://lnkd.in/ebmuS-vJ

I couldn't let the day go by without highlighting this amazing day! This month is National Minority Health Month, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) is coordinating a virtual day of action on April 30 to highlight the positive impact that diversifying the healthcare workforce can have on long-standing health inequities and how initiatives like the Action Collaborative for Black Men in Medicine and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Title VII and Title VIII workforce programs are vital to increasing workforce diversity for the benefit of all patients. The charge of the action collaborative is to: Identify replicable solutions to amplify and support Black men’s interest in a career in medicine and/or in the biomedical sciences. Use existing data and evidence to develop systems-based solutions to address exclusionary practices that create barriers for Black men and prevent them from having equitable opportunities to successfully enroll in medical school. Convene key partners to act on measurable solutions. You can become an action partner and stay updated on the work of the action collaborative via email at actioncollabforblackmen@aamc.org.
