The Regional Coalition to Eliminate Race-Based Medicine (Regional Coalition) has announced that all its member health systems have transitioned away from race adjustments in four clinical decision support tools that help guide lung, kidney, and OB-GYN care. The Regional Coalition includes Temple Health. WHYY interviewed Abiona Berkeley, MD, JD, FASA, Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology and Interim Senior Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. The Philadelphia Tribune picked up the WHYY article.
Weather Alert: A major winter storm is likely to impact the Philadelphia region this weekend into Monday. Temple Health remains open, though some appointments or services may be adjusted. Patients will be contacted directly if their visit is affected. Please check TempleHealth.org for updates and monitor myTempleHealth for changes to scheduled appointments.
