Many people of color are at increased risk for experiencing serious illness if they contract #coronavirus due to higher rates of certain underlying health conditions such as diabetes and asthma compared to Whites. kff.org/disparities-policy/i…

Thanks @NilayShahMDMPH! @HEACS_Program has been so eye opening in a number of ways - one of which is the interdepartmental connections we can build and new colleagues from whom to learn!

Such an important issue in my community, in our community. @NilayShahMDMPH perhaps a @HEACS_Program advocacy project in light of this month's theme? @mobolacampbell
A growing community with a disproportionately high burden of cardiovascular disease needs urgent action to support research and prevention, HR 3131 is a important step in that direction #SouthAsianCVD

South Asian Americans are FOUR times more likely to develop heart disease than the general population. I & @GayathriBadrina urge action on my bipartisan bill that will educate & raise awareness for this public health crisis. thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…

In today’s @JAMA_current, we show that stagnation in #heartdisease death rates have persisted. Are rising #obesity and #DM to blame? NOW is the time for #PrimordialPrevention! @HeartDocSadiya @dmljmd @MCarnethon @KiarriKershaw ja.ma/2Pdo05F

Honored to have @JenBrownARCC of @CCH_NU and @MelvinRT23 of @EndeleoINST speak to @McGawGME @HEACS_Program scholars on “The Role of Community Engagement in Health Equity”. Key takeaway: We need to center & elevate the voices of those experiencing inequities. #healthequity #SDOH

Great session by Dr. @Mustanski, @ISGMH Director. Key takeaway: “social determinants affecting the health of LGBT individuals largely relate to oppression & discrimination”; health equity requires change at every level: institutional, policy, educational & in our communities. 🏳️‍🌈

We were excited to have @NorthwesternEM @MDaware present Health Policy 101 to @HEACS_Program. Great discussion about health care coverage & health inequities, ending w/a call to action. We can’t wait for “others” to fix it - each of us has a part to play. #advocacy #healthpolicy
