Engaging Social Justice Methods to Create Palliative Care Programs That Reflect the Cultural Values of African American Patients with Serious Illness and Their Families: A Path Towards Health Equity cup.org/3AE5hmW#hmp#healthequity#AfricanAmerican
Fawzia, a Yazidi girl kidnapped by ISIS from Iraq and brought to Gaza at just 11 years old, has finally been rescued by the Israeli security forces.
For years, she was held captive by a Palestinian Hamas-ISIS member.
She has now been reunited with her family. Her story is a reminder of the brutality faced by Yazidi children, taken without a choice.
Remember, there are still 101 Israelis being held hostage in Gaza.

Palliative care becomes mainstream on the opening plenary stage. What a moment. #hapc#pallonc#ASCO24
Off to #ASCO. I’ll give a presentation on our study using CBPR: African Americans created a training program for clinicians to hear and respect the African American community’s perspectives, and to implement the community’s recommendations. So privileged to do this work.
