Pulmonary #rehabilitation is a key component of care for patients with #chronic #respiratory conditions. In a new study, @PeterKahnMD and colleagues find 14 million Americans would have to travel an hour or more for access to #pulmonary rehab: brnw.ch/21wH0oP

New study highlights stark divide in access to pulmonary rehabilitation programs in the US. Nearly half the population is within a 15-min drive, but >14M million are >60 min away. ja.ma/487yGps

One winter, Mary was found unconscious after missing payments & losing access to heat & hot water in her home.
Mary survived, but utility shut-off protection could have saved her the trauma. And it could save countless lives. @PeterKahnMD @TheMessenger themessenger.com/opinion/ext…

@Yale researchers, including @PeterKahnMD, find #racialdisparities in #vaccine access early in the #mpox outbreak. #MedTwitter @JAMANetworkOpen buff.ly/3mDtcRM
Our recent work in @JAMANetworkOpen regarding mpox vaccination
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…:
Vaccine distribution was generally in proportion to cases at the peak of the outbreak, but that access was unequal across racial groups, with Black and Hispanic individuals having to travel significantly longer for doses.
Thanks to @YaleMed for the incredible write up of our article: news.yale.edu/2023/04/10/ear…

Availability and accessibility to #mpox vaccines at the start of the public health emergency varied considerably by region. ja.ma/3zGGSyo @XiaohanyingMD @PeterKahnMD @YalePsych

The financial burden of durable medical equipment can have a lasting impact.
@PeterKahnMD & Charlie Harak tell @thehill how to ensure everyone has access to necessary medical equipment.

And as @PeterKahnMD @YaleMed & Charlie Harak at NCLC explain in an op-ed @thehill, there are a few solutions, but none more effective than expanding funding for the federal Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program #LIHEAP #ProtectLIHEAP #KeepTheHeatOn 2/2 thehill.com/opinion/healthca…
New Op-Ed in the @hartfordcourant on the realities of getting to major medical centers/hospitals for residents of Connecticut (significant challenges for those using public transit!): courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc…
Drive time is better — 45 percent of Connecticut residents live under 15 minutes from major hospitals and only 6 percent of the population live greater than 60 minutes away. While significantly better than the public transit travel times, access to a car is not always an option.
These travel times can present major barriers to care if not addressed up front with patients and the entire care team!
As always, thanks to Dr Stan Mathis/@YalePsych/@YaleMed and @XiaohanYingMD for the collaboration.
Efforts to broaden access to oral COVID therapies have plateaued. We found no significant change between August 2022 and November 2022. New piece in @TheHillOpinion following up on our @JAMANetworkOpen publication: thehill.com/opinion/healthca…
