Dr. Brittany Tayler, pediatrician with MSU and Hurley Medical Center and is co-chair of the Keep MI Kids Tobacco Free Alliance. Flavors belong in ice cream, not tobacco. Health advocates host event to call for hearing on tobacco prevention legislative package

For years, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine researchers in the Division of Public Health have been working with Flint Community Partners to improve the health of the community, improve access to healthcare, reduce health disparities, and advance policies and interventions that aim to eliminate structural racism in healthcare. And every step of the way the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has been a visionary partner by providing the funding for space and endowed faculty positions. The support from the Mott Foundation has allowed MSU to invest in public health researchers seeking community minded solutions to tackle issues like the Flint water crisis and the Coronavirus pandemic. Over the past six years, MSU's Division of Public Health has brought in more than 115 million in federal research funding for these efforts. Now the university is creating its first fully philanthropically-named department in recognition of this long-term support as MSU seeks to expand its efforts to recruit top talent. The expanded academic unit in Flint will allow for significant growth in faculty as well as increased community programming.The Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health is the first named department at Michigan State University. The Mott Foundation granted $25 million to expand the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine's Public Health presence in Flint about one year ago. The grants created an endowed fund to attract and retain public health faculty, increase academic research, and boost community partnerships. As a result, the public health division has grown and was recently elevated to a department. The naming of the department is in recognition of the Mott Foundation's transformational support. Here to discuss this are Dr. Aron Sousa, Dean of the College of Human Medicine; Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, Charles Stewart Mott Endowed Professor of Public Health and founding director of the Pediatric Public Health Initiative; and Ridgway White, President and CEO of the Mott Foundation.“The college was founded as really the first medical school in the country based on a community focus,” says Sousa. “We have been in our communities for the 60 years or so that the college has been in existence, and that includes Flint. And as we were trying to figure out what to do to better engage with communities and foster better health and healthier communities, public health is really where that kind of rubber hits the road. And our partners in Flint, Hurley Medical Center, McLaren, and the Mott Foundation started putting together this kind of concept of a community-based public health program where we philosophically wanted to be in the community, invite the community into our building, and most importantly, work with the people of Flint as collaborators.”Sousa talks about what it means to have the name of Charles Stewart Mott on the department and the value and importance of elevating and structuring the faculty and staff into its own department and how that benefits programming in Flint to create impact for the community, the state, and the nation.“I've had this amazing privilege of traveling all over the country and working in other public health programs and learning about what they do,” says Hanna-Attisha. “There is no other place that does public health or thinks about health as we do. We were born in this really bizarre way. We didn't just say, ‘Hey, we're really smart and we're the university and we're going to come into this community and we're going to fix your problems.' We sat and we listened, and this was the brainchild of Dean Sousa when he first sought out to build this public health program in Flint. We had community meetings and forums and town halls and surveys, and we literally asked the community, ‘Hey, what do you want us to work on?' And based on that, the public health programming in Flint was born and has grown and grown, and we've never lost sight of that kind of conception of being community partnered. We are working on issues that our community wants us to work on, and it's more likely to achieve health equity.”Dr. Mona highlights some of the current research projects taking place in the public health area and about how the naming of the department impacts the work of the faculty and researchers. “If it wasn't for Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and the MSU Department of Public Health, we wouldn't have had the science that was needed to prove that the blood level in the children in Flint was elevated,” White says. “That has had huge ripple effects on all kinds of policy and federal funding for water initiatives on clean, affordable, accessible water for all across the United States.“MSU has been an amazing partner, a great grantee. The Mott Foundation is only as good as its grantees. We applaud MSU for taking these dollars and maximizing them. We always say ‘nothing about us without us.' And that rings true to the land grant philosophy of MSU. For the Mott Foundation, that's core to us.”“In this nation, we spend trillions on healthcare,” Hanna-Attisha continues. “We have built a sickness-based system, but we have failed to really go after those root causes, those root determinants of ill health. And that's what we're trying to do in Flint. We're trying to go upstream and address those root causes so that our hospitals aren't filled with chronic diseases and that our life expectancy isn't 20 years less in Flint than another part of Genesee County. Our Department of Public Health is within the medical school. In so many other places, it is a separate siloed school or department that's not related to the medical school. Having these two kinds of departments or units married together really enables us to train a future workforce of physicians who understand what public health is and can see beyond the patient in front of them and can address these upstream determinants.“In a really short period, we have built awesome. We are doing awesome work in Flint, thanks to the investment and support of the CS Mott Foundation. But really, in some ways, our work is just beginning. So, we look forward to the next few years. We look forward to more partnerships. We look forward to more support, more folks out there listening who say, ‘Hey, I want to invest in this, too.' Come. We welcome all who want to support our work and who want to work with us.”Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

Sowmya Nagaraj, MD is currently the Assistant Professor of Medicine and the Associate Program Director of the Internal Medicine residency program at the East Carolina University. Dr Nagaraj grew up in India and completed her medical school from JSS Medical College in India  before moving to  the United States.  She then pursued a residency in Internal Medicine from Hurley Medical Center of Michigan State University. After completing residency, she joined as a faculty member at Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. For Dr. Sowmya Nagaraj, it's all about picking your battles: What do you want in life? How much are you willing to fight for it? Are you going to do whatever it takes? And what if what you want now isn't the same as what you want in 10 years? Keep a timeline for goals and revisit them every few years: Is this still what you want? Do you need to make a change? Dr. Nagaraj shares her wisdom about recognizing that people and goals and aspirations change, and that's okay. Change is necessary for growth. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Arm yourself with an ecosystem to prepare for the battles: start with being kind to yourself, then find people you trust. 2. Understand that change is inevitable and come from within. What you want now might not be what you want in five years. That's okay. Embrace that. 3. Strive to become fearless of failure. Self-doubt is dangerous and gets in the way of success. Instead, cultivate a feeling of self-worth.

When a woman finds out she has breast cancer, in many cases she needs someone to “hold her hand” through this unanticipated and frightening journey into the unknown. Women face a confusing maze of questions and often become overwhelmed very quickly. As physicians, we do our best to provide as much support and information as possible, but often we rely on a breast cancer navigator to fill in the gap for us to make sure patients have the resources they need throughout their entire cancer journey. A breast cancer navigator literally helps patients navigate the seemingly endless barrage of medical appointments, tests and treatments. They provide an invaluable service for breast cancer patients. Breast care navigators guide patients through their entire journey – from diagnosis, surgery and treatment, to life after treatment. They educate, advocate, provide resources and support, help with financial and insurance-related problems, resolve issues and remove obstacles patients face along the way – from understanding their diagnosis, to telling family members about their illness, answering questions about insurance coverage, or finding the right post op bra. During The Breast of Everything podcast, Marsha Schmit, RN, breast care navigator at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan, talks in depth about the role of a breast care navigator and the services she offers patients. She knows from experience what it is like to navigate a breast cancer journey. Marsha is a 12-year breast cancer survivor. 

Finding out if you have a genetic mutation can be lifesaving for patients, their families and future generations. Genetic testing plays a vital role in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. So much can be done once your physician knows if a mutation exists. Jackie Smiley, nurse practitioner and high-risk genetics coordinator for Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan, was a guest on The Breast of Everything, sharing her knowledge about genetic testing, and her own personal story. She is a 13-year breast cancer survivor with a BRCA gene mutation.Jackie knows, not only from counseling patients, but from her own experience, why genetic testing can be a lifesaving measure people should not overlook. Jackie's family was immersed with cancer – five aunts, many uncles, a grandmother and other relatives. When she learned her father had a cancerous tumor, she made the decision to be tested and get a mammogram. She was not yet 40, the age when doctors recommend women obtain their first mammogram. They found two masses that had spread to her lymph nodes, and genetic tests revealed she was carrying the BRCA gene mutation. Jackie was lucky. She was the first woman in her family to survive cancer. When patients ask her, “Why would I want to know if I have a genetic mutation if there is nothing you can do about it?” Jackie reminds them that there is so much they can do. There are many prevention options available today. Patients can reduce their risk of developing cancer by up to 90 percent!“How do I know if I should get tested?” is another question Jackie often is asked. In general, if patients have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, or if there is a known BRCA1, BRCA 2 or other inherited mutation in the family, testing is recommended. A genetic counselor can meet with you to determine if you would benefit from genetic testing. Anyone can seek genetic counseling to learn if the testing makes sense for them. You do not have to have a family history of cancer to be tested. Cancer can run in families even if there is not a family history or an inherited mutation, she points out. And even if an abnormal gene is found and is linked to a higher breast cancer risk, not every person in the family will inherit the abnormal gene. A genetic counselor can provide advice on who should be tested. A genetic counselor also will review the test results with you and explain what a positive test means. If you have a positive test result, this means you have a genetic mutation and you can begin to take proactive steps to reduce your risk of getting cancer. Your parents, children, sisters and brothers each have a 50 percent chance of having the same mutation.A negative test result means no mutation was found, but this does not mean you will not get cancer. Your genetic counselor will discuss these findings, too. Jackie also reminds women that paternal family history does matter. You can get breast cancer from either side of your family. Men pass along the mutations, too. You have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the mutation from your father's side of the family.Most insurances cover the cost of genetic testing. Tests usually include more than 40 gene panels (a gene panel is a test that analyzes multiple genes at once for cancer-associated mutations).Jackie also notes that over-the-counter genetic testing kits only test for a few different variants. Exercise caution when purchasing these.Don't stick your head in the sand when it comes to learning your risk for cancer, she advises. It shouldn't be a question of “if I get tested,” but “when should I get tested?”

There is no known safe level of lead exposure for children. The Flint water crisis exposed poorly managed infrastructure that desperately demanded repair.

Choice is a precious commodity; a powerful influencer, and too often, a scarcity. Alisa Craig, Administrator for the Wellness Population and Health Management at Hurley Medical Center, does just that - she offers her clients choices. Hurley Medical Center has been taking care of patients for 110 years, but over the past year and a half, they have been working on Food FARMacy. The idea is that the patients who are food insecure could come and get medically tailored food. People who are food insecure suffer from the toxic stressors such as, not knowing where their next meal will come or having to make the choice of providing your Type 1 Diabetic with insulin or paying your electric bill - NO ONE should have to make these decisions. What do the majority of prescriptions advise you to do: take with FOOD!
