We are at a point where quality of life is impacted by digital access. Period. So ready to hear @TracieDHall1 bring a word on information poverty at @hartfordlibrary #DIW2022 #DigitalEquityNow

The average age of people who founded high-growth startups is actually 45.

It’s widely believed that the most successful entrepreneurs are young. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg were in their early twenties when they launched what would become world-changing...

In Michigan, my home state, 40% of those who have died from #Covid19 are Black when only 14% of residents are Black. The deathgap is huge and horrific. #BlackLivesMatter
NEW: Michigan is now reporting the racial breakdown of COVID-19 cases. So far, 10,791 positive cases have been reported & 417 deaths. Of that, African Americans account for 35% of cases & 40% of deaths. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, just 14.1% of MI’s population is black.

Proud of this woman! In 2017 we co-led the @PHSAD health equity conference. Theme: "Unmasking Racism in Health: What is My Role?" But @DomSylvers didn't just talk about it. She answered the call. Seeing it come full circle is powerful. #healthequity #NewBookFriday #BlackAcademic

Y'all. Find your @Starbucks gift cards and use 👏🏿 every 👏🏿cent.
Starbucks has $1.2B in total unredeemed value on Starbucks cards which is like a 0% loan from customers It also recognized ~145M (12%) as card breakages, i.e. the value customers aren't expected to redeem So essentially Starbucks is borrowing money from customers at -12%/yr 🤯

There are a ton of great conferences. But many can be challenging for cancer patients & caregivers to attend. That's why I'm excited about #GVCC19. This conference will come to you - wherever you are comfortable. And it's really affordable. Check it out & register! #SpreadTheWord
Register for the first ever Global Virtual Cancer Conference, where everyone’s experience matters. #GVCC19

As a musician, my hearing is so precious to me. This stat on hearing loss in teens shook me. Think twice - don't crank up that earbud volume!

Young adults are experiencing hearing loss and experts say earbuds are to blame. But there are ways to jam out safely.

Embrace health convos w/loved ones entering long-term care. Ask what they want, care about...what matters for their healthcare. Help them live a quality life. So they're not existing, w/out living. Or feeling like extremes are the only way to speak up. #endoflife #mentalhealth
Bringing the power of #machinelearning together with medicine, a joint project between @UMSI and @umichsph finds that interventions are needed to lower suicide rates among older adults as they enter long-term care ➡️ https://t.co/dZg6eTAgQk

Have a loved one you take care of? Step in their shoes for a min. Being in a vulnerable position...frankly sucks - especially if they can't speak for themselves. Their voice needs to be heard for their healthcare, no matter what. That's why we started @withcanopy. #digitalhealth

Only one thing to do in response to this: 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 #healthequity #YesHairIsAHealthEquityIssue
California became the first state to ban employers and school officials from discriminating against people based on their natural hair. The law makes it illegal to enforce dress code or grooming policies on hairstyles like afros, braids, twists and locks.

#HealthEquity means eliminating all unnecessary barriers that keep people from being able to maximize their health outcomes. And health equity at the end of life matters as much as other life stages.
We must do a better job caring for African American patients, from birth to death. Check out my latest Op Ed in the @nytopinion
