Incredibly excited to welcome Melvin Lindsey and Louie Nguyen to the CHCF board of directors. Both bring broad and valuable experience helping to make systems more connected to the communities they serve.

"1 in 3 Black people in California say they've been treated unfairly by a health care provider because of their race." One in four did not seek care altogether, per @CHCFNews.

Today’s Supreme Court decision to end the constitutional right to have an abortion is a generational setback for health care in America.🧵(1/7)

The news from Texas is heartbreaking and completely senseless. I cannot fathom the pain and grief that the young people, families, and community of Uvalde are feeling right now.

#DataExchange will be a key next step, giving patients and providers a way to connect to a reliable, secure & trusted source of #HealthInformation wherever they are, whenever they need it.

"A protective mask won’t work to its full potential if it is riddled w/ holes. Neither will a health care system that covers some people and leaves others behind. The system can only work for everyone if it includes everyone." @srhernandezmd @CHCFNews chcf.org/blog/were-all-in-th…

An effort led by @MathematicaNow @dianerittenhous is underway to recruit California hospitals that have never operated medical residency programs and encourage them to launch new ones with the help of Medicare dollars. chcf.org/blog/project-aims-t… @robwaters001

I was asked what I think is the best way to manage this problem.
1. Don't start by assuming there IS a solution, because that is a kind of blind spot in itself.
2. The problem is not the rules. The problem is the sociopath.
3. Secure those two points, then start tinkering.

I spent several decades working as a primary care doctor in California's #safetynet. I am keenly aware of our state's primary care shortages and understand the cost of those shortages in human health and lives.
Reminder: Nurse practitioners are more likely to work in safety-net settings, including community health centers, where Latinos disproportionately get their care. They are a vital part of California’s health care workforce. chcf.org/publication/fact-sh…

New from @PPICNotes: Although the mental health consequences of epidemics are not well documented — in part due to the rarity of these events — existing research shows an association between large-scale disasters and mental and behavioral challenges. ppic.org/blog/covid-19s-toll…
A profoundly personal piece from @ahartreports @CalHealthline @KHNews about public health officials making difficult decisions and personal sacrifices in the line of duty. npr.org/sections/health-shot…

The @CDCgov report adds to a growing body of evidence that long-standing #health and social inequities have resulted in increased risk for infection and death from #COVID19 among communities of color reut.rs/3aq2Xnc

A very sad day for our newsroom. We are losing colleagues with deep expertise on the science desk — just when we need more coverage of the pandemic, wildfires, climate change, and more. Support your public media outlets!
KQED announced today it is laying off 20 staff members, representing 5.5% of its workforce, while a handful of other employees had their hours reduced.
The layoffs and other cost-saving measures aim to address a projected $7.1 million budget gap.

Cutting the #2020Census count short by a month is a mistake. Accurate Census data are critical to target resources to the communities that need them the most. We need to count every person. Read this letter from more than 480 philanthropic leaders. funderscommittee.org/resourc…
"A system that is literally supposed to help those who can’t breathe is figuratively applying a choke hold to Black people by sending them home to die when they say, 'I can’t breathe.'" Important piece from @thenephrologist @CHCFNews. chcf.org/blog/health-care-sy…

"The wrong people are covering this story. Political reporters and editors should be entirely out of the loop on pandemic-related coverage. It’s too important to be covered through their warped optics." presswatchers.org/2020/07/sa…
