To close the gaps within health equity we must consciously design and develop technologies to be inclusive, and that begins with the data. You can't fix what you can't measure. Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine recently launched the Health Equity Tracker, a data visualization tool that displays the scale of COVID-19 cases, deaths and hospitalizations across race, ethnicity, sex and age — from a whole-country view down to the county level — all with the goal of making their data accessible, digestible and beneficial to everyone.Satcher Health Leadership Institute Chief of Staff Nelson Dunlap joined Millennial Beacon's Dr. Vietta Johnson to discuss the genesis of the Health Equity Tracker and explored these questions and more: How do you leverage data and research to advance innovation? How do you design technology to be inclusive? How can entrepreneurs leverage data to ensure their solutions aren't repeating history and leaving behind groups that have been historically marginalized? How can innovators customize solutions to address gaps in access?This program is supported by Pandora and SXM Media.

Baby boomers however are not just interested in living longer. They want to live a "healthier" longer life. And as states begin legalizing cannabis, baby boomers have increasingly sought to make sense of cannabis science as part of ensuring a healthier longer life. To that end, Patricia A. Patton founded the Cannabis Business Alliance (CBA) in 2021. As a dedicated wellness practitioner and patient advocate for older adults and baby boomers, Patton is using her CannaBoomer social media platform to build awareness and understanding of the health issues impacting the aging US population. Patton launched the Cannabis Business Alliance in Spring 2021 to provide targeted strategies, medicinal cannabis compliance oversight, training, and resource materials for local and regional government organizations, and outreach and engagement strategies for civic and community agencies.  Cannabis Business Alliance's (CBA) current iteration is as a B2B membership platform for independent business owners in the cannabis supply chain. Recognizing the need for a true community of business owners that is not rooted in performative descriptions of diversity and/or inclusion, CBA seeks to be a place of impact and engagement for equity and major participants. The B2C side of the platform will later empower existing community leaders. She was recently appointed as a Brain Trust Advisor to Morehouse University's Satcher Health Leadership Institute. Patton will continue to support other educational institutions, public health programs, municipalities, private businesses, and educators who seek to effectively focus on older consumers/patients in minority and vulnerable populations. Her firm, Cannabis Business Alliance (CBA) facilitates learning opportunities for community leaders with culturally relevant materials, training, and research in support of a life focused on health and wellness initiatives Through her involvement with a leading network of knowledgeable Black, Indigenous, and Latin public health professionals, including medical doctors, nurses, and the healing community, the CBA will offer targeted services, culturally appropriate civic programs and activities, and produce resource materials designed to promote and support the nascent medicinal cannabis initiatives – particularly impacting vulnerable groups. She has traveled the world creating highly curated retreats and has coached midlife women seeking to profit from their passions. She is an Editorial Advisory Board Member of Cannabis Patient Care Magazine, Advisory Board Member of The Florence Belsky Foundation, former Board member Asbury Park Book Cooperative, an active member of the Association for Cannabis Health Equity and Medicine (ACHEM), and is an SXSW Board of Advisor. -- Check out her website (https://patriciaapatton.com) + download my free strategies +join my email listFive Quick Free Strategies To Change Your Lifehttps://www.facebook.com/PattonPatriciaA BoomerWiz@gmail.comFollow me on twitter @BoomerWiz

"COVID-19 has created a worldwide public health crisis, and the resulting lockdowns and social distancing measures have sent most country’s economies into a severe downturn. But we believe these crises are only the tip of the pandemic’s iceberg," writes Mario Iacobacci and Mathieu Laberge in a recent Deloitte study."There is another crisis looming – a human crisis," they add.  "Our past research ... has revealed a potential for increased incidences of mental illness, poorer educational outcomes, an increase in substance abuse and crime, and the weakening of the community fabric." The researchers called on the governments to get ready for the looming crisis. It is particularly striking that they stressed the need for employers to address employees' mental health, reviewing the mix of employee benefits and to see how to better accommodate employees in this stressful period, sometimes by introducing flexible benefit options that respond to different needs from employees at different stages in life. Since 1989 in France, employers must 1989 ensure the physical and mental well being of their employees. This is in line with the European tradition of social class differences and community solidarity. The American tradition is influenced by the like of Locke, Jefferson, Smith, and Mill, and favors individual freedom and economic freedom.In the US, a country of hard work, individualism, and personal privacy culture, many corporations are hesitant to tackle employees well being.Indeed, The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply impacted our lives as families sheltered in place and juggled homeschooling, work from home together with keeping their household afloat. According to a poll conducted in mid-July, by non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation 53% of adults in the United States reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over the coronavirus. This is significantly higher than the 32% reported in March.In this episode of Back in America: corporate America, COVID and Employees well being, or lack of.Back In America speaks with Glenda Wrenn a psychiatrist, chief medical officer for Franklin, Tenn.-based 180 Health Partners, and previously the founding director of the Kennedy Satcher Center for Mental Health Equity in the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine."I think we are addicted to working in our culture," said Glenda Wrenn. "it is promoted by our work environments. What is the incentive for your employer to get you to slow down? You're rewarded for working more. I know this from personal experience as a true recovering workaholic. I love working. I do. I really love working. And it has been such a process for me to redirect that energy to my home. The same excellence that I put into doing mental health policy work, now I'm just redirecting it at home. I'm giving it to myself and my family. I was honestly incapable of doing that before this pandemic."Glenda's Book RecommendationA People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn Between the World and Meby Ta-Nehisi CoatesAcross That Bridge: A Vision for Change and the Future of Americaby John Lewis

Daniel E. Dawes has written 150 Years of ObamaCare (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016). Dawes is the executive director of health policy and external affairs at Morehouse School of Medicine and a lecturer within Morehouse’s Satcher Health Leadership Institute and Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine. In 150 Years of ObamaCare, Dawes tells the long and often forgotten history of the nearly two century fight for health care equity that culminated in the passage of the Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare. He draws on his role as a leader in a large coalition of organizations that helped shape ObamaCare, revealing what went on behind the scenes. He illustrates this with copies of letters and e-mails written by those who worked to craft and pass the law.
