We must address the gap in adequate health care representation for Black health care professionals and Black patients. In the U.S., only 5% of physicians are Black, compared to 56.2% who are white, potentially impacting Black communities' health outcomes. It is crucial to work towards greater diversity and inclusivity in the health care field to provide equitable care for all individuals. Imagine the impact you can have by supporting the next generation of diverse health care professionals. 💡 Learn more about the work we do at NMF to ensure that we have better health care outcomes for all: nmfonline.org #HealthCare #RepresentationMatters

ChatGPT 4 recognized | Google: Top Global Patient Blood Management Influencer | Top Global Anemia Influencer | Documentary Producer | Global Chief Creative Officer |
You may never guess what moving into Harlem. There goes the neighborhood. For decades, #Harlem has made every attempt to protect its heritage, culture, and real estate value as part of New York City. But something has moved into the community that they never saw coming: #anemia. Many residents experience symptoms like fatigue, cold feet or hands, and emotional exhaustion leading to burnout, never realizing that these may be early warning signs of anemia or iron deficiency. We hope awareness of what is currently affecting the community is addressed with early detection. Children, expecting mothers, adolescent girls, and mid-to-senior women are most at risk and make up a major portion of Harlem's population. We hope this issue is highlighted during Harlem Week this year. If successful, maybe anemia will move to another address. If not, keeping your doors locked won't help. We would love to do what we can. Please don't send us donations; awareness is more valuable to us. We are confident that NYC Health + Hospitals and Hospitals are on your side in this fight. Please look for the Anemia insignia the next time you visit a medical center, or ask your doctor about their thoughts on anemia awareness.

In honor of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek —a week created and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA)—we're giving a shout out to HPM Distinguished Scholar Kaytura Felix, MD, whose work focuses on medical racism and health justice. Dr. Felix and her team are currently examining the historic and contemporary experience of Black birthing people and successful practices that birth workers have had with Black birthing people. In 2012, Felix co-authored a research paper that suggests there should be a stronger integration between primary health care and public health work to improve the health of individuals and populations. A stronger integration between these two fields could improve the Black maternal health of many people in the U.S. "Effective support of healthy behaviors will require coordination of the work of clinicians, particularly primary care clinicians, with public health agencies, schools, businesses, and community groups to better utilize community resources. In such an integrated system, primary care and public health work together to support individuals, families, patients and their caregivers, and to improve the health of individuals and populations (i.e., a true health system)." -Excerpt from Kaytura Felix's "A Call for Action on Primary Care and Public Health Integration" research paper Click here to read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/ew8SKSXS

In 2020, CHCF launched a targeted effort to improve health care, and thus health outcomes, for Black Californians regardless of their income or the type of insurance coverage they have. This approach recognizes the impacts of anti-Black racism on the health of Black Californians across income and socioeconomic class. See our current request for proposals (RFP), which solicits projects that address anti-Black racism in the health care system. CHCF seeks to support five to eight projects that have the potential to accelerate change in delivery system policies and practices in the near term. Applicants may apply for grants of up to $150,000 for a two-year grant period to implement and assess the impact of efforts to improve equitable medical care for Black Californians in public or private clinics, hospitals, and medical practices.

Today marks the beginning of Black Health Equity Advancement Week! According to the Listening to Black Californians study, more than 1 in 4 Black Californians avoid health care due to concerns they will be treated unfairly or with disrespect. Here are some ways you can take control of your health care experience: 🔹 Prepare for your visit by doing your research first. 🔹 Speak up if you feel like your concerns are being dismissed. 🔹 Choose your own providers, and switch if you don’t feel comfortable. 🔹 File a complaint and hold your health care providers accountable for their actions.
