"We're really good at treating illness, but it's also on us then to advocate for and to work with partners to try to address those upstream social drivers of health." BMC's Brian Yun, MD, MBA, MPH, led our second annual Strengthening Essential Emergency Departments (SEED) conference earlier this month, where the theme was “The Intersection of Value-Based Care, Population Health, and Essential Emergency Departments (ED).” #HealthCity spoke with Yun after the conference to discuss learnings around what the future could look like for EDs: https://bit.ly/3VHQrrj

BMC is at the forefront of providing culturally-competent mental health care to all patients. We are leaders in deeply connecting with patients in Boston and the rest of the world. When our patient, Boohe, met Dr. David Henderson, Chief of Psychiatry at BMC, he felt comforted by Dr. Henderson’s expertise in Liberian trauma because “he understands my culture and talks to me like he’s from my culture”. That cultural sensitivity is pivotal in advancing mental health care. The Africa Global Mental Health Institute, co-founded by Dr. Henderson and supported by BMC, fosters collaborations across more than 25 countries to create accessible training and education programs for providers to improve the mental health of people of African descent no matter where they are in the world.
