Health Affairs Complimentary Racism & Health Virtual Symposium
Racism is the reason for large, sustained health inequities in the United States. The February 2022 issue of Health Affairs, "Racism & Health," contains a comprehensive, scholarly look at the complex relationship between racism and health and provides new evidence, analysis, and narratives on the topic. It is our hope that the issue will make a lasting contribution to the field and enhance the national dialogue regarding the importance of policies to address structural racism.
On February 8, panels of distinguished authors and experts will present their work and engage in discussions on the historical context, evolving research practices and policies, and the lived experience of populations whose health has been harmed by individual and structural racism. A highlight of the event will be the reading of "Identity," an original poem by Sharon Attipoe-Dorcoo, which will be published in the issue.
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. EDT
Online details will be shared with registrants 24 hours in advance of the event

Physician Appreciation Night
Over the last 18 months, physicians have made the ultimate sacrifice to be on the front lines keeping our communities safe during the pandemic. Despite this sacrifice, I don’t know that we have taken pause to say ‘thank you’ to acknowledge all that doctors have done for us during this time.
I’d like to personally invite you to Physician Appreciation Night on Thursday, October 21 @ 7PM. This will be an evening full of food and beverages, live music, and a message of gratitude and encouragement for doctors from the office of Denver’s Mayor, Michael Hancock.
There will be no sales pitches or business talk – just an evening for physicians to hang out with your colleagues and let us celebrate how much we appreciate what you’ve done to keep the world spinning through the pandemic.
I hope that I have the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to you both in person at Physician Appreciation Night. Feel free to share the link with your physician friends and colleagues who you think may appreciate a bit of acknowledgment and recognition.
