$10M gift for U-M's global health equity efforts
A new Center for Global Health Equity that will accelerate work by faculty, staff and students from across U-M schools, colleges, and institutes at all three campuses will be funded by a $10 million gift from Dr. Tadataka Yamada and Leslie Yamada. Dr. Yamada previously led U-M's Department of Internal Medicine in the 1990s before taking on leadership roles in two major pharmaceutical companies and the Gates Foundation.
Building on the Yamadas' vision, the center's initial concept was developed by a team led by Joseph Kolars, the Medical School's senior associate dean for education and global initiatives and director of its Global REACH program, and IHPI Director John Ayanian, who are working with faculty across the university to develop the concept further.

A story in the
Washington Post took a look at the evidence to date on the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the health of individuals
---- and shone the spotlight on a range of research published by IHPI teams.
Veteran health policy reporter Amy Goldstein wrote: "Michigan has emerged as a hub for understanding the ACA's effects on health because University of Michigan researchers have been rigorously evaluating the Healthy Michigan Plan, as the state calls its Medicaid expansion covering about 650,000 people."

The technology is there. The funding is nearly there. The health providers are getting there.
But according to
a new report from the National Poll on Healthy Aging, people over 50 may not be quite ready to fully embrace virtual health visits, also known as telehealth, with their doctors and other providers.

New U-M studies published on firearm injury and death
In the first of two new studies led by senior author
Rebecca Cunningham, M.D., professor of emergency medicine, CDC data to document a 14% rise in firearm deaths across the nation from 2015 to 2017, after more than a decade of rates staying about the same. Cunningham and the research team also mapped state-by-state variations in overall trends, and in trends among members of different demographic groups.
The second study, also led by Cunningham and
Patrick Carter, M.D., assistant professor of emergency medicine, reviewed federal research funding for studies on different causes of death among children and teens, and finds that research on the second-leading cause of death (firearms) gets far less funding on a per-death basis than other causes.
