Please read @DrNadiaChaudhri ‘s account of her ovarian cancer. Specifically, if you are a clinician please consider the diagnosis and make sure to adequately rule it out before you attribute symptoms to something more benign.
Now that I have 100K followers, I want to talk about #OvarianCancer. Specifically my gritty story. The goal is awareness. I hope you find this narrative informative.

Please. If you are not #vaccinated reach out and ask questions. What is keeping you from getting it? Become part of the solution, stop being part of the problem. My colleagues are exhausted. Unless you live on a private island and never intend to leave it, do the right thing.

Hey @tingFTW Have used you for years, but the switch from the Sprint network is horrible where I live. Never used to have dropped calls. Now drops multiple times per conversation. Opened case, but you say I'm one of a high volume of requests. Bring back great Ting service please.

Misinformation is a major #PublicHealth threat.
Today I issued a Surgeon General’s Advisory to call our country’s attention to health misinformation – an urgent threat to our health that requires an all-of-society response. https://t.co/hqJdkLV6RK

#Medicaid programs are working harder and smarter to reduce disparities. Acceleration of efforts during and after the #COVID19 pandemic.
To reduce health disparities, #Medicaid programs are making short-term changes like ensuring access to Medicaid coverage & improving data collection to better identify disparities and target interventions. https://t.co/gSobBmHKuE

A pleasure to get to work with @MilbankFund and co-authors Aasta Thielke and Pam Curtis from @CEBPOHSU to produce this policy brief on how Medicaid programs are addressing health disparities related to #COVID19 Challenging times have accelerated innovative solutions.
Many Medicaid programs are taking a two-pronged approach to addressing COVID-19–related health disparities: short-term program changes through federal regulatory flexibility options & long-term efforts to address systemic biases and increase health equity. https://t.co/10yYmM8Qrr

Ideas for @EllaFlemyng on guides for evidence syntheses?
*Calling for help* I'm looking for examples of methods resources for producing or editing evidence syntheses (how-tos, templates, standards, guidance, etc.) that are structured in ways you find easy to use/navigate. Which ones get your top vote?
