PAF in collaboration with SWIO bringing Skilled Communication workshop to Chicago, IL. Your story is beautiful.

@Gwen_Darien @NPAF_tweets Gwen, A special thank you to both you and Jamie for being a part of this event. I sincerely appreciate the support.

So honored and humbled for the recognition from Teena Francois-Blue and Sister’s Working it Out. It’s a privilege to work on the front line with community based organizations striving to impact access, affordability and quality healthcare. My sleeves are rolled up and ready.

NPAF 2019 Story Slam 2019: The Cost of Care... A critical discussion at a critical time in healthcare.

Waiting with great expectations for @MichelleObama BECOMING 2019 ATL so many beautiful ladies in the house, including my sista Che.

It’s easy to feel that the challenge to improving and supporting access to care is insurmountable; however, there are programs out there that work. Healthy San Francisco is one such program. Thank you to Dr. Alice Huan-Mei Chen. #seriousillnesscareNASEM

Communication enables goal-concordant care and is key to driving equity in healthcare. @dbljsndrs. Clinicians can be taught to communicate better with their patients and there are trainings available to help clinicians improve their skills.

Understanding of culture is critical for proving healthcare. For example, the number “4” represents death for the Chinese community. Knowing this, helps us understand when patients and their families don’t get off on the 4th floor of our health systems.#seriousillnesscareNASEM

A community health worker is more than an interpreter; they play a critical role in ensuring that patients understand what is being shared with them regarding their care. They are the bridge between culture and health. Adan Merecias.#seriousillnesscareNASEM

We cannot ignore the impact of trauma on health. Trauma is not outside of healthcare and is a fundamental responsibility of the delivery of healthcare. Edward Machtinger. #SeriousIllnessCareNASEM
