I saw some of my fave familiar names today as the amazing Dr. Dr Jennifer Christie presented at the ASGE GI Endoscopy CRC Screening Project MD Summit

At my first @colorofcci conference and let me tell you… you do not want to miss the next one! 🥳

Dr Ed McDonald Dr. Ed McDonald giving an informative/hilarious talk about nutrition equity packed with historical data- he could’ve held this fact 😂 But he said it was a sign of progress - so don’t cancel him @colorofcci

Issa wrap for me at @colorofcci’s #EquityinGI in ATL, but still so much impactful programming to be experienced.

It’s a privilege to witness this much-needed disruption in the GI space, for patients, by patients. THIS is where change happens.

“ #Healthequity in particular means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. This is distinct from equality. #Equality is about giving people the same resources understanding that we are different people and have different needs.” - Darrell Gray, II, MD, MPH, FACG
