Instead I found myself sharing feedback about how we in public health need to stay attentive and keep doing what we are doing. View it here: loom.ly/w0M0IRg

Libraries and books are an integral part of my life - and I am sure an integral part of many of your lives.

The latest issue of my newsletter (loom.ly/oBI-vJ0) deals with my "history" of books/libraries and some summer reading recommendations. Please also share your recommendations!

Thank you so much!

Just seeing this (I need to check more often). Loved talking to you and your students. Thank you!

It is also longer than my normal posts. I think you will find that it is worth the extra time to read it.

I also break down the American Public Health Association public health priorities for this week.

We have already seen (and may have participated in) rallies, protests and the like to fight against such cuts. We need to continue to put pressure on elected officials to ensure we have the tools we need to promote health.

This comes at a time when we see the dismantling of health care infrastructure including access to care and funding for needed services like health care innovation and research. Health care impacts each of us with maternal and newborn care topmost.

Nearly all maternal deaths are preventable with access to healthcare a key component in that survival.

Investing in maternal and newborn health (or investing in health in general), is an investment in the future, not a cost.

According to the WHO’s website, “based on currently published estimates, close to 300,000 women lose their life due to pregnancy or childbirth each year, while over 2 million babies die in their first month of life and around 2 million more are stillborn. (From NativeHope.org)”
