As someone who leads an active, healthy lifestyle, I find it frustrating that tools like BMI label me as "overweight." It's clear that BMI, a metric rooted in outdated, racist and biased perspectives, perpetuates weight stigma and fails to capture the true complexity of health. We need to move away from simplistic "healthy" vs. "unhealthy" weight labels and the reliance on BMI, and other similar tools in health communications and research. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and meaningful understanding of health that empowers individuals to feel comfortable in their own skin and discuss their health concerns with their doctors - without just hearing they need to lose weight. Hopefully, this change is one of many that will help lead our healthcare system into a welcoming and shame-free environment. #HealthAtEverySize #WeightStigma #HolisticHealth #InclusiveHealthcare #BodyPositivity #BeyondBMI

Public health is more than the physical or mental health of a community. It also focuses on the social and economic inequities that drive health disparities. Different zip codes can have vastly different health outcomes and life expectancies, even for those that live minutes apart. We recognize the power communities have on health. It’s why we work with healthcare stakeholders to create solutions tailored to each community.

We honor and celebrate National Minority Health Month (NMHM), established by Congress in April of 2022, with the following goals: 1. Promote educational efforts on the health problems currently facing minorities and other health disparity populations 2. Educate the public and health care professionals about health disparities, disease prevention and health promotion among minorities and other health disparity populations in the United States 3. Monitor our nation's progress toward the elimination of health care disparities. Collect and report data on health care access and utilization on patients by race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. 4. the information gained should be disseminated to all health care professionals so that they may better communicate with all patients, regardless of race or ethnicity, without bias or prejudice.

Dr. Alvin Powell's TEDx speech on health equity highlights the importance of systemic change to address disparities in healthcare. Emphasizing that health equity means everyone has a fair chance to be as healthy as possible, Dr. Powell connects the origins of health inequality to America's historical legacy. His insights into the role of structural and institutional racism in perpetuating these inequities underscore the need for transformational changes to improve healthcare for all, especially in underserved communities. https://lnkd.in/evyH-dA9
