“We train researchers to look at the literature and come up with questions in their head… but we know that the literature is bias... We need to start from the communities.” - Rupa Valdez @PCORI #PCORI23 —> Questions need to be from the COMMUNITIES that are being impacted.

“I look for a time where we get beyond survive to thrive in wellness and affirmation...I can’t train people to have empathy to give a damn for people who aren’t like them... We are not checkboxes, we are human beings seeking care.” - Mason Dunn #PCORI23 @PCORI

Learning from Kimberly Seals Allers & Ebony Boulware about how the foundations of the US health system were built in a racist way & how the tiering needs to be dismantled for improvement. Thanks @PCORI for this session addressing racism and discrimination. #PCORI23

Overheard by Suz Schrandt of ExPPect: "Why are you allowed to say these things about my [patient] community without talking to anyone at my community?" @PCORI #pcori23
