The Friday before Memorial Day weekend! Perhaps you’re already headed to the campsite, or to your mother-in-law’s house, or perhaps you envision a quiet weekend at home. No matter what your fancy, MCN has a few great suggestions on what to read this weekend.
1. Karen, MCN’s CEO, passed along a short editorial [2] in the newest issue of the Lancet: “There are so many research questions contained in this little piece. Chief among them are those that surround the issue of [Hispanics'] decreased access to health care and the 24 percent lower risk of all risk mortality.”
2. Ricardo, Health Network Manager, sent us an NPR article [3] about patients under the difficult and long treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis, which highlights the story of a farmworker in Peru whose care is managed by Partners in Health [4].
3. Tiffy, Graphic Designer, ran across this heartwarming story [5] of pharmacy students at the University of Georgia supplying new boots to migrant workers.
4. Elisa, Continuing Education Assistant, shared a new resource [6] added to MCN’s Resource page from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, entitled “Interactive Core Curriculum on Tuberculosis: What The Clinician Should Know.”
5. Theressa, Training & Technical Assistance Coordinator, offered National Immigration Law Center’s announcement [7] of an opening for the job of Deputy Director in California.
Have a great three-day weekend!
