As I share in @USNews, #COVID19 ripped the Band-Aid off structural inequities that exist in the U.S. Our @SutterHealth study shows disparities in #COVID19 outcomes for black patients. See how we are using data-driven research to reduce health disparities & improve #healthequity.

Appreciate @KMJAzar @AdrianaV @EndocrineWeb sharing our @SutterHealth @Health_Affairs #COVIDandRace study findings on disparities in outcomes of #COVID19 for Black patients: bit.ly/2WZfAAv. We need data-driven approaches & new policies to address #healthequity gaps.

Thanks @Health_Affairs for publishing our @SutterHealth study. Key data reveals #COVID19 health disparities & that race and ethnicity still play a pivotal role in determining how & when care is accessed. So proud to be part of this team. @KMJAzar @SteveLockhartMD @alicepressman

Black patients are nearly 3 times more likely to be hospitalized for #COVID19 than white patients, a @SutterHealth study shows in a new report. Here’s how the Chief Medical Officer at Sutter Health believes we can bridge the gap abc7ne.ws/36kTQSR

As we mark 50 yrs since #Apollo13 mission, was honored to have met Apollo 13 Commander & #Apollo8 Astronaut Jim Lovell. He says, “As #COVID19 challenges the world, we, humanity, must continue to work together as a team to arrive at critical solutions” @apollo_50th @NASA #Apollo50

We owe a profound debt of gratitude to all our health professionals and everybody who’ll be on the front lines of this pandemic for a long while. They’re giving everything. May we all model our own behavior on their selflessness and sacrifice as we help each other through this.

My spouse is a physician in the emergency dept, and is actively treating #coronavirus patients. We just made the difficult decision for him to isolate & move into our garage apartment for the foreseeable future as he continues to treat patients. (1/5)
