Day 2 of #SDH2021 was so insightful. @SonjaSantelises @NEqualityMatrix & Khalilah Harrington had a transparent dialogue about the education system, lessons learned during the pandemic, & creating healthy environments for our youth. The amazing @dancing_markers captured it all.

Thank you @DrChelleMD for calling us to create sanctuaries for our Black patients: "Imagine if our Black patients came into our hospitals broken, tired, and weary, and instead of finding judgment and opposition, they found rest." #HealthEquity

So true! #HealthEquity
California recently closed playgrounds again. Many are upset, worried about children's ability to get free exercise. Just a reminder, many children in economically deprived areas don't have access to a playground. Keep that same energy to advocate for playgrounds in all areas.
