Meet the newest member of the AHCJ team, Jyoti Madhusoodanan. Her yearlong role will focus on increasing awareness of racial bias in health research and clinical algorithms, and how that is communicated in health journalism.

“This growth in homelessness is largely a result of systemic poverty. Too many people in this country are just plain not making it. They’ve gone from fragile and housed, to fragile and couch-surfing, to fragile and living in their cars, to fragile to living in tents.” #AHCJSummit

We're looking forward to seeing everyone at the #AHCJSummit today & tomorrow!
@MKushel, @hkanzaria and @OPPDeDe will join an incredible lineup to discuss:
➡️ #CAHomelessnessStudy insights

Join us June 14 at Noon ET for #WebinarWednesday looking at why it's so hard to keep the food supply safe, what the federal government should be doing about it and story ideas for national and local reporters that will keep the focus on ensuring the safety of the food we eat.
📣 The Association of Health Care Journalists @ahcj is looking for a reporter to produce dozens of articles, webinars and event sessions throughout the next year on how journalists can better cover firearm violence and trauma.
It’s a topic that receives a lot of attention in the breaking news cycle. But the upstream causes, long-lasting impact, promising interventions and latest research are rarely explored. This content will give practical advice and guidance for reporters nationwide.

It’s that time of the year! Got the storm bag packed and ready. 🌪️
8:46 PM: A line of strong to severe thunderstorms continues to slowly move eastward across E KS & W. MO. Damaging wind gusts are the greatest concern. Up to Quarter size hail is also possible and we cannot rule out the chance for a quick spin up tornado along the line.
