Thx! It is such a pleasure to discuss the journey to date and to envision a future where health equity is mandated in healthcare.

Without health equity, pillars like quality, safety, and efficiency are myths.

I want to shout out my coach, Kemi Doll, MD MS on her magnificent 100th podcast episode.
“It doesn’t have to be hidden to be safe.”
Thanks for dropping this and other gems that nourish us. And for real, I’m already hoping that you’ll expand this 2 part interview into a docu-series!

Thx Sumanta K. Pal, MD, FASCO.

Proud to share our work in @CAonline. We identify several steps along the lung cancer screening (LCS) pipeline where Black and low SES individuals miss the benefits of LCS, resulting in increased mortality.

We call out the fact that the same SDOH contributing to inequities in COVID-19 drive similar disparities in oncology.
We have to stop merely reporting the impacts of these SDOH. We suggest principles that can lead to durable, meaningful steps towards equity.

focusing on your offense at the use of the word “racism” instead of on the fact that structural racism is an active killer of black and brown people, is what keeps structural racism alive JAMA

These people are gambling with all our lives. Because what happens in Vegas only stays in Vegas until Sunday night, when it drives or flies back to L.A.
