"One of these facilities came in and pushed those citizens out, forcing them to move to another community—all of their culture and their history is now destroyed. It’s the same thing that’s happening in Cameron, where they want to build CP2." @Mzozane patagonia.com/stories/streng…

Every person deserves to receive safe, respectful, and dignified treatment from their healthcare provider, especially as they bring a new baby into the world. Building healthcare systems that offer quality, inclusive care is a crucial step toward achieving #HealthEquity.

It took time for physician assistants to be recognized, “but I couldn’t imagine healthcare without them,” says Sarah Chagnon, president of the American Dental Therapy Association. “I think communities, over time, will see dental therapists the same way.” wsj.com/health/healthc…

If you’re still talking about the business case for DEI, know that you’re behind. We’ve been doing this dance for far too long trying to get executive leaders who don’t care to care. The truth is we cannot expect justice outcomes to come from a why rooted in capitalism. Period.
