Nothing can bring George Floyd back, but today’s guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial shows that progress is being made in the fight for freedom and justice for all. 1199seiu.org/media-center/s….

A true verdict after a fair trial. Progress. But more work to be done.

"The people who are most impacted by these abortion restrictions and bans are people of color, low-income individuals, young people and LGBTQ individuals — people who are already burdened with insufficient access to healthcare."- Elizabeth Nash people.com/health/this-we…

Imagine walking into your #primarycare doctor’s office and being told you can’t receive your annual physical or a prescription for your diabetes medication because the Supreme Court decided states can ban it. (1 of 2)

72 million women of reproductive age in the U.S. may experience that situation if the Supreme Court overturns #RoeVWade and states restricts or bans an essential part of women’s primary reproductive care – abortion services. #AbortionIsEssential (2 of 2)

Primary care is the only part of the health system that has been proven to lengthen lives and reduce inequities at the population level, while also reducing costs over the long run. (1/2) #HCValueWeek

Great op-ed by PCDC on the importance of investing NOW in #primarycare. It is undervalued & underfunded, and #COVID19 showed how dangerous that is. Governor Kathy Hochul should make NY's health care system centered around primary care for a safer NY! timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

#Primarycare saves lives, leads to improved individual and community health, and is central to health equity— yet we continue to underfund it. Isn't it time we value the type of care - and its providers - that can change a community? #healthpolicyvalentines
