Social needs must be addressed as an integral part of healthcare, or behavioral change recs made are unrealistic at best and widen social inequities in health at worst. Eager to learn how we can better address food insecurity as a key component of diabetes care via this study.
Drs. Yvette Castañeda, Amanda Simanek, Kristin Schneider and Melissa Chen are leading a diabetes-related healthcare study to address social inequities that drive the disproportionate burden of #diabetes in Lake County. #HealthEquity brnw.ch/21wMXcV

Our 9th Annual WiSH Symposium takes place on Thursday, September 26, and will feature the esteemed Dr. @amydiehl. Passionate about universal gender equality, she will speak on "Glass Walls: Shattering Gender Barriers in Science and Healthcare." rosalindfranklin.edu/symposi…
On how we learned to stop worrying and love our inner science communicator...and how other public health professionals can too, in part by advocating for #scicomm to be supported as an essential part of our jobs. If info = DOH then countering misinfo = prevention. Scicomm is PH!

The Michael Reese Foundation Center for Health Equity Research at @RFUniversity is excited to have a team selected by @AAMCjustice to access data to examine race/ethnic inequities in ease of and satisfaction with accessing healthcare-with focus on costs, respect, and trust.
Five teams have been selected to receive access to polling data based on nationally representative polling and conduct their own research for evidence-based solutions to achieve health equity. Learn more about the teams: ow.ly/bcUU50RHp6e
Congrats also to our Center Affiliate and colleague @BFeinsteinPhD for having a team selected!
