You're an inspiration to all. Wish more cam educate themselves like u. God bless u Michelle.🌸🌟🙏🌸🌟

Thank you for posting this Johns Hopkins. I believe healthcare miss the curve to change the system in the 80s when HMO/PPO came into play. Healthcare is antiquated because we have allowed it to be. I can remember community healthcare mobile units. They a gave checkup, immunizations and followed up in community clinics. The disconnect It how diet & exercise play key roles in healthcare. When will we make the connection to slowly close the gap????

Systemic? So true, this video has inspired me as a CHW and my job in Public Health. My mission has always to be mindful in Health Education thru kindness. Thank you for such a Beautiful Video.

Amazing health information. Wonderful video. Great job.

thank you

I have to take a major health change to ensure a safe environment for my family. No more liquor, bad food, weed, booze it’s over.

So many have been taught magical thinking, and to ignore their reality. They spend a lifetime pretending that everything is ok.

Touching and truth

Great video

eye opening

invest in your health if money is an obstacle...stand in mindset, fight back with better choices...poor sector is eat or pay out of pocket for expensive heathier choices. Option is be anther statistic or be a better determinant as one disproportionately dealt with as excluded from the table of policies… a difference in someone's lifetime even not ones own...a liberated future...yes... amputees, heart disease,, victims of environment...etc.., voting matters but daily..being courageous and strong and push for training and better choices of high quality healthcare to communities of need...its not a poor people problem. Its a global community challenge. God bless us who succumb to the effects of choices and non choices to historical disproportionate factors,...thank you for your strength in the struggle!! you impact well. you got it right. rally the communities today...and tomorrow with videos like these. you impact the future...as long as we live. rest in peace...rest in faith… to all suffering under health disparity

Facts!!!!

2020 spring...social distancing will not allow shaking of hands...hopefully systemic solutions will arise. Peoples Health is the Countrys future hope...

This is nice

LOVE THIS!

i will remember this woman and this morgan freeman until i stop breathen

That doctor's comment discussing why people don't invest in their health seemed extremely insensitive and ignorant, especially for someone working in Baltimore.

Considering John Hopkins history with African Americans, this little video is rich 🙄 I appreciate Auntie Michelle’s insightful perspective however, JH has a lot to do to make amends with their toxic past if they want to gain trust from the AA community. ALOT.

It's too bad most inner city black communities lack access to healthcare facilities, grocery stores, among many, many other things.

I can't imagine what it's like to live in a country where you have to worry about paying health bills. So glad we do it collectively through taxation and help each other collectively. The insurance system is heartless and immoral.

Glad I'm Canadian.

I feel like the health information is not accurate here.

Universal healthcare now!

YUH

Elijah Cummings being in this video doesn't help. He hollered, screamed and championed for all other groups but his own. Baltimore is his legacy and proof of that.

Invest in your health real talk.

Anyone here for COM ?? جماعة الطب بالفيصل

Good luck with COM tomorrow if your’re watching this.. Alfaisal..

My mom had not money....

Don't peel the cuke.

There is nothing wrong with inequality of outcomes between identity groups

You can thank Joe Biden for that

So sad to see this. People thinking it is diet choices- but it is social determinants of health by policies. This is bullshit. Patients do not invest because they cannot. Because of systemic racism. Healthcare systems are dangerous and violent institutions including John Hopkins. They are hyper capitalistic machinery where all forms of racism intersect- capitalism, policing,, bias, incarceration etc. This video is a poor way of explaining the real root causes of disparities. As a doctor who is heavily invested in fighting these systems this video makes me want to make video showing the true reality of these systems intersect .
