"Dementia itself, doesn't discriminate - but the way that people experience dementia can be discriminatory." One of our recipients for the Personnel Awards for Black Scholars, Ngozi Iroanyah discussed the lack of diversity in health research affecting communities on Breakfast Television. Specifically, Ngozi's research is focused on working to better understand the experiences and perspectives of older Black adults living with dementia and their caregivers. "We need to think about what these communities are facing, what their unique racial, and cultural needs are, and how we can begin preparing for it."

Delighted to join two amazing "aging reimagined" leaders, Dr. Bill Thomas, founder of The Eden Alternative, and Bob Kramer, founder of Nexus Insights, for a discussion today with the current USC Gerontology graduate students. A key takeaway from our discussion is to change the conversation about "caring" for older adults, as if they are part of a problem to be solved, to leveraging them as part of the solution. How can we tap into into the wisdom and passion of older adults for the greater good of all?

🌟 Unraveling the Tapestry of Health Equity: The Nexus of Representation and Life Expectancy 🌍 I wanted to share the insightful interview that resonated with me, that was shared on our morning meting today. After immersing myself in the team's reflections and the thought-provoking insights from Michael Dill at @AAMCtoday, I found my thoughts gravitating towards health equity and the intricate dance of social determinants of health. Notably, a recent conversation with a former co-worker underscored the prevalent lack of diversity in healthcare field hiring. This dual exploration sets the stage for a vital dialogue on the pivotal role representation plays in shaping healthcare outcomes. The key revelation: a 10% surge in Black primary care physicians corresponds to a noteworthy one-month increase in life expectancy for Blacks. 🩺✨ This disclosure becomes the cornerstone of an essential dialogue about health equity, social determinants, and the complex factors influencing our well-being. Key points from the interview that left me pondering... Diversity's Ripple Effect: A diverse healthcare workforce isn't just about representation; it acts as a beacon for improved access and healthcare quality, particularly in historically underserved communities. Barriers at the Crossroads: While progress is underway, barriers persist. A closer look reveals the need for systemic changes, beginning with educational reforms to dismantle entry barriers into the medical field. Beyond Numbers: It's more than just statistics; it's about fostering inclusivity and understanding the nuances contributing to health disparities. Each percentage increase in representation is a significant step towards a more equitable healthcare landscape. As I draw parallels between these discussions, it's evident that diversity isn't merely a buzzword; it's a critical factor shaping the future of healthcare. Whether in primary care, infectious disease, or research — representation matters. So, the next question beckons: what can we do to cultivate inclusivity in healthcare against the backdrop of health equity and social determinants? 🗣️💙 #HealthEquityDiscussion #DiversityInMedicine #InclusiveHealthcare #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth https://lnkd.in/eG8pVQpP

“Governments have a role in ensuring that people have consistent and accessible opportunities to engage with arts and culture throughout their lives, regardless of their ability to pay. The health benefits of the arts will only happen if we normalize and facilitate arts and cultural engagement as part of everyone's daily lives.” 💡New arts and health research just dropped from Global Cultural Districts Network (GCDN), Social Biobehavioral Research Group and University College London (UCL SBB)!💡 ‘Culture for Health: Implications and Opportunities for Cultural Districts’ suggests that there is an inherent public health benefit in engaging in arts activities (We’re all-in on this belief too!) The report provides 🧠 leaders, 🎨 artists, 📚 scholars and 🏛️ policymakers with the strategies and consideration to do even more to promote further public health outcomes in cities - including ensuring sustainable and equitable access to the arts for all.
