We celebrated our Health Equity fellows at the Kick-Off Reception!
This convening at the @FordFoundation was extremely special, as @DrOBarbot and Deepak Bhargava emphasized the importance of coming together to re-imagine the status quo.

At UHF, Jim played a key role in establishing the Medicaid and Quality Institutes.
He chaired the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured, helped create the National Quality Forum, & served as NYS Assembly Majority Leader, to name just a few of his many accomplishments.

UHF mourns the loss of Jim Tallon, who served as UHF president for more than two decades.
Jim was a wise and strategic leader with extraordinary abilities as an educator, communicator, and consensus-builder.

Please check out our study on firearm deaths among US kids - this epidemic is getting worse, yet common sense solutions focused on firearm safety and violence prevention exist - we just need to get them implemented. Kudos to the whole team @Baileykrmd @ColleenNofi @EmmaECornell
More than 80% of the gun deaths were young males, 19 and under.
Black male children were more likely to die from homicide.
White males 19 and under were more likely to kill themselves with a gun. nbcnews.com/health/kids-heal…

The proportion of US doctors who are Black has increased only 4 percentage points since 1900, to 5.7%; 6.9% are Latinx. This ruling threatens to continue decades of inequitable healthcare. UHF is committed to working with our partners to achieve a more equitable health system.
