Unbelievable. Upending their lives is the last thing we should expect people with serious illness to do. Now, immigrants with extreme medical need have 33 days to leave the country. npr.org/2019/08/27/754…

We must learn to treat social determinants as active dangers to health, in the same way we treat smoking cigarettes as harmful to the body. Above all, we must learn the tools to heal the wounds they cause, say Utpal Sandesara, Dr. Lauren Kelly, and Adeline Goss ow.ly/lvvS50A6rD2

"...I realize something about power, which is that it's not a feeling. It's the absence of obstacles...You don't even notice how powerful you are when you're truly powerful. It's just as though the world rolls out in front of you." Congrats! @AnnaDeForest npr.org/2022/08/21/111…

We already knew older adults are bringing their substance use disorders into later life at higher rates, and now we have data that suggests it’s contributing to decreased life expectancy in the US. Take a look at the piece we wrote for ASA for the highlights!

It's important to be aware of the various health effects of alcohol, but it's equally important to balance risk with safe enjoyment. It's an individual calculation. I wish this article emphasized that more. Check out this interview I did with AARP aarp.org/health/conditi…
