On #WorldAIDSDay, IPS emphasizes the urgent need for action to reverse the long-standing and worsening U.S. Latino HIV crisis, now a cascading disaster. Watch “Inside The Cascading Disaster” at our new CLAFH microsite, and learn more about the crisis and steps to address it: t.jh.edu/RUwX9w #IPSNow
The US government’s decision to not recognize nursing & other health degrees as professional limits access to education funding & harms national health. On MedPage Today, I ask colleagues to weigh the decision’s impact & how we can make education more affordable: www.medpagetoday.com/nursing/nurs...

Facts:
• Most U.S. Latinos are citizens
• We contribute $4T to the US economy
• We’re the 2nd-largest voting bloc & a backbone of the workforce

New U.S. law limits nursing degree loans, no longer designating nurses as professional. This dismisses their expertise & limits our need for a representative workforce. Our nation’s health depends on making nursing loans & tuition more affordable, not less. @joannekenen.bsky.social: t.jh.edu/aw79ZB
