Thank you to Twin Cities Business, Liz Fedor and leaders Dr. D'Andre Carpenter, DNP, RN with Allina Health, Hilary Marden-Resnik with UCare and Rachel Hardeman, PhD, MPH co-founder of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity for hosting a meaningful, insightful discussion about health equity during TCB Talks: Health Care.    As Dr. Hardeman shared, change starts with the language we choose and it starts with us. It’s about equity versus equality - not everyone is starting from the same place. We all have a role to play in dismantling structural racism.   As leaders, we can disrupt and implement change in our own organizations and communities, from hiring and training to supporting other leaders and efforts in the community. Investing in health equity = healthier communities and a healthier workforce.

Long Covid: A Call to Action for Corporate Leadership in Building a Healthier Future In the face of Long Covid, we find ourselves at a crossroads that calls for more than just business acumen; it demands a compassionate and forward-thinking approach from the corporate world. This isn't just about the immediate impact on businesses; it's about our collective responsibility to foster a healthier, more resilient society. The persistence of Covid-19, particularly in children as highlighted by recent research in The Lancet (https://lnkd.in/dxNGjAAC), is a stark reminder of our shared vulnerability. These children are more than future contributors to the workforce; they are the heart of our communities, deserving of every opportunity for health and well-being. Similarly, the cognitive impairments in medical students, as reported in Cureus (https://lnkd.in/dtnWRryA), represent not just a future challenge for the healthcare system, but a present concern for the well-being of our aspiring professionals. Harvard Economist David Cutler, Ph.D., underscores the financial aspect, but the message extends beyond economics: "There is no amount of money the government shouldn't spend to fix Long Covid. The problem is so vast that the only question is whether the prevention or treatment will even marginally work." Businesses have a unique opportunity to lead the way in responding to this challenge. By supporting health initiatives, fostering research, and advocating for effective policies, the corporate world can contribute to a broader societal effort to combat Long Covid. This isn't just an investment in the future of business; it's an investment in the future of our communities and the health of generations to come. Our collective action today will not only shape the trajectory of Long Covid's impact but also define our legacy as leaders who stood up in a time of need. Let's work together to build a healthier, more resilient world for everyone. #LongCovid #CorporateLeadership #CommunityHealth #SocietalWellbeing
