Rachel Issaka, MD, MAS

Promoted to Associate Professor @fredhutch & @UWMedicine effective July 1, 2023! In 2017, I took a leap of faith and moved to a new city and institution to start my career. On the other side of fear, there are opportunities to thrive! So many to thank &🥂 to the next 6 years!

@lorenmtaylor Let’s Go!!! #LorenforOakland

With my family, friends, and amazing supporters by my side, we are officially filed! I’m running to be YOUR next Mayor because Oakland deserves a leader who can not only unite us, but will make the hard choices to create a thriving Oakland for all.  At a time when Oakland is facing the real threat of bankruptcy and as revenues fall, 911 calls are put on hold, pot holes eat our tires, trash piles up on our sidewalks, and more of our neighbors are forced to live on the streets. Oakland has been stuck in dysfunction. Being a political outsider with experience inside and outside of city hall, I am uniquely positioned to do what the establishment is unwilling to do.  Join us. LorenForOakland.com

After a recent struggle with a rare disease, facing major organ failure, I fought for my life in December. Now I’m back and 100% again! And my faith tells me there is more work for me to do. Business-as-usual politics in Oakland has failed us. And now, the same political operatives who installed the recalled mayor and brought us to the brink of bankruptcy want us to once again trust their pick.  We need fresh energy and new leadership that ensures every dollar of our budget serves the practical needs of our residents—not fighting ideological crusades. If we keep voting for more of the same we will get exactly what we voted for.  Join us at LorenForOakland.com. Donate, volunteer, and share this video with your friends and neighbors so we can fight for the future Oaklanders deserve.   #LorenTaylor #OakMayor #Oaklanders #ForTheTown

@DrOluwoye @NIMHgov Congratulations!!!

This is what happens when you are surrounded by thoughtful and amazing people that celebrate your first @NIMHgov R01 when you don’t find the time to celebrate yourself. Thank you for making me be still and in the moment. 🌸

It was fun here while it lasted! Changing scenery but excited to continue sharing content about all things gastroenterology, colon cancer, health equity and life in general as a Black 🦄 in medicine. Join me where the skies are bluer!

To our Southern California neighbors facing these devastating challenges, we stand with you. The road to recovery is long, but together, we’ll rebuild stronger than ever. As Mayor, I will be committed to quickly reopening closed fire stations and restoring our rainy day fund. Let’s unite in action. Here are three incredible relief organizations making a difference: 🌟 California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Relief Fund 🌟 Direct Relief 🌟 American Red Cross Every bit of support counts. Let’s show up for one another. ❤️ #CommunityFirst #CaliforniaStrong

@AdjoaGIMD @theNCI Congratulations!!! You did it and yes, you look like a researcher because you are! 🙌🏾🥳🥂

Excited to share that I was awarded a K08 from @theNCI 🎉🥂 Couldn’t have done this w/o my incredible mentors 🙏🏿 In training when I thought abt what a researcher was/looked like, I never envisioned someone like me. I’m glad to change that, even just a bit, for those after me ❤️
