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.

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.

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 @NASHPhealth @statemedicaid @drvalking @CEBPOHSU

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
