Another great panel moderated by @mccarthyjohnb featuring the great work in North Carolina of @betseytilson @jrlumpkin & @DeniseNeunaber

#USofCare2019 Image
@jrlumpkin talks about supporting the “Drivers of Health” like housing, job support, transportation & nutrition.

By looking at outcomes systems can drive change not just for their patients, but improve health for ALL

#USofCare2019
@DeniseNeunaber shares what is needed to get someone stably housed:
-Affordable housing
-Appropriate services
-Reliable income

This is accomplished w/
-Housing support & services- everyone needs a realtor!
-Financial support - “moving sucks! It’s hard & expensive”

#USofCare2019
@mccarthyjohnb points out that “Silos of excellence” exist within states➡️How do you get effective cross-agency collaboration?

@betseytilson talks about NC Care 360 - which aligns social services & health care

#USofCare2019
@betseytilson says NC asks the question — “How do we finance HEALTH”

How do we leverage #Medicaid dollars for HEALTH? Look at “midstream” factors
🔹Food
🔹Housing
🔹Interpersonal Violence
🔹Toxic Stress

We can improve outcomes & ⬇️ cost focusing on these levers
#USofCare2019
@jrlumpkin highlights the importance of COMMUNITY-driven solutions.

Excited to see what the @mnhealth Community Solutions for Healthy Child Development grants produce🙌🏾

"We need to be angry about the fact we're letting moms die...This isnt a mystery. Its a failure of political will. Its a comfort w/misogyny & racism" @ChelseaClinton

@ChanelPorchia dropped so much fire about racism in medicine folks left w/a certificate 🔥🔥

This is a devastating loss to all of our MN communities 😔

Dr. Charles Crutchfield III was ever present & a force within not only dermatology but organized medicine, among Black physicians in MN in particular.

How many dermatology clinics signed up to do #COVID19 shots?! Dr. C's did because he knew how important it was to get shots from a provider you trust.

He inspired @MNAADocs to begin a weekly column in @MNSpokesman sharing health education information🙌🏾

spokesman-recorder.com/2022/01/27/ple…
Dr. C was always down to help me in any way he could whenever asked. Whether a curbside consult or questions about my own families skin, he always got back & would follow up to see how things turned out if I didn't tell him.

Hey @AmerAcadPeds & @Vot_ER_org look at who I found @aspenideas #AspenIdeasHealth🙌🏾

#AHealthierDemocracy #VoteKids

"Interesting" start to this panel of HHS secretaries @aspenideas #AspenIdeasHealth

@SecBecerra when asked what he wishes folks knew about HHS replied, "we don't control health care"

@Sebelius agreed... 🤔

Today’s MN #COVIDVaccine announcement is disappointing & largely fails to move the needle on equity.

I think understanding why & how it could likely worsen inequity requires a recap.

On 1/14 MN opened up vaccination to 65+ w/no subprioritization. What have we learned since?
🧵
1️⃣ There was no federal stockpile (as the previous WH administration HHS had eluded) to support this decision.

So now ~1 million Minnesotans believed they were at the front of the line but MN was getting ~60,000 new doses/week & still had not completed everyone in phase 1A
2️⃣ A new administration came in with equity as a priority & recommended expanding eligibility even more... but no new guidance around subprioritization for any groups incl those 65+

& still not enough shots to meet demand = scarce resource allocation

I have enrolled in a #COVIDvaccine trial & last week got my first shot!!

But this wasn’t always my plan. I had a surprising amount of hesitancy early on. So I want to share how I worked through it.

This will probably be my longest thread ever. But stick w/me! (1/)
An avid advocate that #vaccinessavelives I found myself personally & professionally skeptical about the speed with which vaccines were being developed & politicized.

So I read about #COVIDvaccine development & listened to @NEJM’s podcast weekly podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new… (2/)
I also found this @nytimes #COVID19 vaccine tracker helpful

“When we fight to change children’s circumstances, THAT is when we keep children healthy. THAT is Socially-Responsive Pediatrics”

@DrOmolara opening up the final #AAP2020 plenary with powerful perspective
.@DrOmolara breaks down common frameworks:

Cultural competency doesn’t deliver justice

Structural competency doesn’t dismantle structural inequity

We need to move to Social responsiveness to deliver justice & dismantle structures of oppression

YES🙌🏾🙌🏾
#AAP2020
.@DrOmolara’s approach: bring care to the communities instead of working to fit communities into care settings w/historical trauma

Her practice has been setup next to community based organizations. In collaboration, no hierarchy
