Must read this compelling piece by @PhDiva0618, highlighting maternity care inequities for rural BIPOC. Dr. A-O writes: "..30% of rural communities of color are at least 30 miles away from maternity care, versus 18% of mostly white rural areas" @TuftsPH @TuftsMedSchool

I don’t generally post anything personal. But increasingly I’ve felt emotional and cognitive dissonance regarding the Thanksgiving holiday. My husband’s post captures it well . redhenpress.medium.com/thank…

Dr. Natalie O’Neal, faculty in our DPT-AZ program now featured in APTA magazine-“Native Americans comprise 574 federally recognized tribes, each with a different culture…Impossible for any 1 person to be ‘competent’ in the culture of each…. Recognizing this is a great 1st step”

Offering my heartfelt congratulations to Dean Helen Boucher. The first woman to serve in this role — 129 years is a long wait: the day has come. Good for medicine and good for public health!@hboucher3 @TuftsPH
We are excited to announce that Helen Boucher, MD, has been named the permanent dean of Tufts School of Medicine! Boucher had served as the school’s dean ad interim since last summer when she was also named chief academic officer for @TuftsMedicine. ow.ly/tKZH50LhLzq

Must read this detailed post and call to action for the MA Data Equity Bill. Aggregated data mask enormous health disparities, particularly for Asian populations-- and make what is visible, invisible. Read and act, today
