Laura Faherty

@RepUnderwood Congrats Lauren!!!!!!! 🎉 your leadership is such an inspiration!!!

It is a tremendous privilege to represent Illinois’ 14th District. During my time in Congress, I’ve held over 40 town halls to hear from my neighbors, secured federal funding for my community, and passed 10 bills into law — including legislation to lower health care costs!

It was a pleasure to reflect with fantastic colleagues on the Equity-First Vaccination Initiative. We discuss what the initiative accomplished AND the challenges encountered, from the perspectives of the funder, @RockefellerFdn, and one of the learning partners, @RANDCorporation.

In their new Forefront article, @LauraFahertyMD, @SarahHanck, Nichelle Walton, George Timmins, @GregisGood + @JeanneRingel from @RANDCorporation + @RockefellerFdn discuss how the Equity-First Vaccination Initiative provides an example for foundations. bit.ly/3U1CcLS

@DrScottHadland @NIDAnews @NIH HUGE congrats Scott!!!!!

This is the beaming face of a researcher who just got his first R01 grant funded by @NIDAnews & @NIH. I’m beside myself with excitement, truly honored & will be a good steward of the funds to improve addiction treatment for youth across the country.

Inspired by the 100+ partners of the @EVICommunity who are tackling these inequities on a daily basis…one conversation, one town hall, one ride to a vaccine clinic, and one bag of food at a time. @RockefellerFdn @RANDHealth @RacialEquityPol @JeanneRingel @KranzAshleyM
