Ret. Gen. Mark Milley: “Don’t lecture me about women in combat…Women have been in combat, and it doesn't matter if that 7.62 [caliber round] hits you in the chest. No one gives a shit if it's a woman or a guy to pull that trigger, you're still dead.” politico.com/live-updates/2…

👏🏽Now in @SpringerNature Dr. Deville @hopkinskimmel opened my eyes when he asked me to write the NHPI Physician Workforce chapter. These are the opportunities that change the trajectory of young trainees like me. Love the Indigenous representation! 🔗 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Grateful to @JAMAInternalMed for inviting us to discuss the tragic Lāhainā wildfires & the urgent need to update cause of death coding to account for climate-related deaths. The rise in #climateDisasters warrants a critical reexamination of ICD coding to best track #climateHealth

Researchers @KekoaMDPhD, @jeremyfaust, and Kauanoe Batangan highlight the devastating impact of Maui wildfires and emphasize the importance of integrating Native Hawaiian values for resilient restoration. ja.ma/3XUvjiN

📢 The sad thing is that these aren’t just my words, these are the words of my community who I advocate for every day. I’ve heard and seen too many young Pacific Islanders taken by cancer. Researchers must be aware. Big mahalo to @MatthewRozsa @Salon 🔗 salon.com/2024/09/12/ind…

#ICYMI from last week's Freedom House EMT Training Academy graduation. More ➡️ bit.ly/3Mc0m4g

Today, we celebrated the first graduating class of the Freedom House EMT Training Academy. This class had a 100% graduation rate and are all serving Pittsburgh as EMTs. I couldn't think of a more beautiful way to honor the legacy of the Freedom House Ambulance Service.

A lot of people don’t know that the first EMS service in the country was started by Black Pittsburghers, when local police and fire refused to serve them. On the last day of Black History Month, I spoke on the House Floor to honor their contributions to medicine.

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities have some of the lowest rates of clinical trials and #cancerresearch inclusion, creating poorer health outcomes/fewer resources. @KekoaMDPhD's research aims to address these. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wGALf
