Yesterday’s Grounded in Health and Chester Community Wellness Fairs were a wonderful reminder of what’s possible when community, care, and connection are put into action. We thank our partners and look forward to building together! #GroundedInHealth #CommunityWellness #StrongerTogether #ChesterPA

Floods, droughts, and extreme heat affect more than infrastructure and livelihoods. Honored to share our latest review on extreme weather events and mental health impacts in West Africa, highlighting critical evidence gaps and opportunities for action. 🌍🧠 🔗: publichealthinafrica.org/index.php/jp...

“I see you.” In a world that often asks us to perform, achieve, and move faster, one of the most powerful things we can offer another person is to truly see them. Grateful for the opportunity to share this message with the PFBL Scholars community. #Leadership #Community #Mentorship #Service

Spent the morning discussing the dangerous heat expected across much of the U.S. this July 4th weekend. As an emergency physician & environmental health scientist: Stay hydrated, seek shade or AC, and trust your body. If something feels off, seek care or call 911. #HeatSafety @pennldi.bsky.social

Education for community service is the heart of our immigration story. What we gained via opportunity, we pour back into others. The 2026 Nwanaji-Enwerem Foundation Health & Wellness Fair in Imo, Nigeria reflects that commitment—locally & globally. Photos shared w/ permission.

If disaster strikes, whether it’s a hurricane or wildfire, will your local hospital be ready? I spoke with @healthbeat.org about the need for hospitals to prepare for extreme weather events & the role of policy & coordination across local & broader systems. www.healthbeat.org/newyork/2025...

14 years ago, research funding gave me the chance to be a summer research intern at Penn (@pennldi.bsky.social). Last week, as an emergency medicine physician, PhD-trained scientist, and professor, I had the honor of mentoring my own intern as he gave his final presentation. 1/2

Like many, my family often reflects on the country’s future. A talk with my dad is now a paper on Medicaid saving lives—across party lines—and why reforms must center people, not just costs. Even now, we can stay civically engaged to protect what matters. 🔗https://tinyurl.com/ypx95bpn

New research: Limited healthcare access and poor self-rated health are linked to faster biological aging. Our findings underscore how access to care may shape long-term health at the molecular level. #Aging #HealthyLongevity #HealthPolicy clinicalepigeneticsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Are immigrants in the U.S. aging slower—at the DNA level? 🧬 Our research reveals immigrants had younger epigenetic ages (~2.5 years!) compared to non-immigrants, while U.S. citizens were older than non-citizens. Learn more about these population findings: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I get it. Regulations may not sound enjoyable, but they often exist to create cleaner environments. When done right, this means healthier people, happier families, more productive workers, & more prosperous businesses. Looking forward to the conversation, Miami!
