Algorithms have used race inappropriately for far too long. We have a roadmap that sets a standard for racial equity in clinical algorithms that will save lives. This toolkit represents everything we wish we had when we started this work in New York: dimesociety.org/removing-har…
Over the last two years, @nychealthy’s Coalition to End Racism in Clinical Algorithms (CERCA) has worked with nine major health systems across New York City to identify and remove harmful race-based clinical algorithms from medical practice.
ALT Text reads, "Removing harmful race-based clinical algorithms: A toolkit. The tools used to make care decision have quietly shaped medical decisions - delaying care and reinforcing systemic racism in healthcare. Learn how to replace harmful race-based algorithms with this new toolkit based on the success of NYC Health Coalition to End Racism in clinical algorithms." Accessible toolkit at the link.
As a reminder, the NY Planning Council Consumers Committee Town Hall on Client Advisory Boards (CAB), is happening today @LGBTCenterNYC. Space is limited yet still available, click the QR code for registration or eventbrite.com/e/ny-hiv-plan…

Providers: Air conditioning is the most effective protection during a heat wave but owning and using an AC can be a financial burden. Refer eligible patients to apply for a free AC through the Home Energy Assistance Program.

Politicians across New York have shown support for enacting mask bans under the guise of stopping crime. But in reality, it will undermine public health, and surveil + criminalize protestors with unpopular views.
Add your name to reject mask bans in NY:

At Housing Works, combating racism is central to our fight against HIV/AIDS. Recent attacks against the Haitian community nationwide are unacceptable, and we stand with our Haitian staff, clients, and community. Together, we will fight hate and violence. #EndRacism
