With mental health being such animportant issue shrouded in stigma, anew app aims to bring much neededaccess to mental health services tothe Black community.

Senegal native and former investment banker EricColy, 45, created Ayana after a close friend confided tohim that she had been having a hard time finding a ther-apist, particularly a Black one, Fast Company reported.

“Take aside the stigmatization and the lack of accessto insurance and resources, [minorities] tend to only findpeople whom they aren’t able to relate to quite well,”Coly, who also suffers from depression, said. “And theyessentially give up.

They buy into the notion that there’s no one out there

who can help them.”According to Fast Company, of the 100,000 therapists

in the U.S, 86% are white, 5% Hispanic, 5% Asian, and4% African American, which has made it more difficultfor Black people to find a therapist that looks like them.Many in the African American community have built askepticism around the mental health industry that hasbeen passed down through the generations. Recently,there has been an effort to change this stigma andAyana intends to be evidence of this.

Ayana features a matchmaking algorithm based onseveral factors that include, gender, ethnicity, culture,class, language and more. Once a match is made, userscan text and call therapists anonymously.

Noting that Black patients spend two-thirds of theircounseling time to talk about issues regarding race, Coly

said it was important that they did not feel like they hadto teach the counselor about these issues.

“No one should have to go into a place where you aremeant to discuss issues in your life and discuss race asan issue for most of the session,” Coly argued. “No oneshould have to educate a counselor.”

Though Coly noted finding practitioners has not beeneasy, as they have about 55, but said his goal is to find100,000 by the end of 2020.

Ayana, which is also LGBTQ friendly, is set to launchon Apple and Android in early January. According to FastCompany, monthly packages start at $140 a month fortwo sessions and unlimited texting, a high price point forlower-income individuals, but Coly hopes to work onmore affordable plans as well as subsidize cost by part-nering with community-based organizations.

Banker develops app to helpconnect Black people withBlack therapistsBy Megan Sims, article courtesy of TheGrio.com

As its Christmas gift toAmerica, President DonaldTrump’s reelection campaigncreated a “Snowflake Victory”website that provides honestGod-fearing Americans withthe arguments they need todemolish any young leftist rel-atives they may encounterover the holidays.

The site is a series of video clips withaccompanying text coaching you throughvarious pro-Trump talking points aboutthe strength of the American economy,the need for a wall, and how there was“no quid pro quo” with the Ukrainian gov-ernment.

As is typical for Trump’s official commu-nications, it relies pretty heavily on thestrategy of saying things that aren’t true.

The environment section, for example,says “we have the cleanest air on record.”That would be great news if it were true,

since recent studies indicate that air pol-lution is much more harmful than previ-ously believed. The truth, however, is thatpeople in the US are currently livingthrough an unprecedented deteriorationof air quality.

That’s only partially the fault of Trump’sderegulatory initiatives, but his team hasa lot more deregulatory initiatives in thepipeline that will make things even worse.

The Snowflake Victory document doesconvey one critically important truth —Trump really does not want to talk abouthis record on health care. On most topicsat hand, Trump’s team has something —whether true or not — to say in favor ofthe Trump administration’s policy initia-tives.

But on health care, the argument is en-tirely negative — Democrats are bad;Medicare-for-all is bad.

And that makes sense, because whenit comes to health care, Trump can’t reallytout his priorities. Over the past threeyears, he has pursued policies that wouldreduce the number of people who havehealth insurance and the quality of the in-surance enjoyed by the insured.Trump’s argument on healthcare: Single-payer is bad

The “Snowflake Victory” site has apretty simple talking point when it comesto touting President Trump’s health carerecord: Democrats are bad.

“Democrats like to squawk a lot aboutPresident Trump, Republicans, andhealthcare, but the truth is, the 2020 De-mocrats are the ones who want to stripyou of your private, employer-providedhealth insurance!” goes one talking point.The site talks about how Medicare-for-allrequires tax increases, and argues thatpublic option alternatives “are designed tokill employer-provided health plans too.”

It also serves up for the reader what itconsiders a killer line: “Ask your relativeif they like going to the DMV? Now tellthem to imagine the government control-ling their healthcare system becausethat’s exactly what it would be like.”

Personally, it has not been my experi-ence that filing reimbursement paperworkwith Cigna is a notably superior customerservice experience to what’s provided atthe Department of Motor Vehicles.

And I suppose the snowflakes mightturn this around and ask their olderMAGA relatives if they feel Medicare is re-ally so awful.

But the key thing is this discussion

The Weekend Edition•HEALTH&WELLNESS•December 27, 2019 The Waiting RoomNews and Notes on Health and WellnessDr. Madelaine TullyWins 2019 HealthCare Hero AwardMilwaukee Native and Physician at ProgressiveCommunity Health Centers Honored for Commitment to Providing Access to Health Care for Underserved

Dr. Madelaine Tully, a family physician at Pro-gressive Community Health Centers, has re-ceived a Health Care Hero Award from BizTimesMedia. The annual Health Care Hero Awardssalute the accomplishments of people and organi-zations making a positive difference on the frontlines of health care in southeastern Wisconsin.

A Milwaukee native and graduate of Rufus King High School, Dr.Tully has dedicated her career to helping people who have fallenthrough the cracks of an often fragmented health care system. Shebegan her medical tenure in private practice but became discour-aged by the restrictions of what she could do to help those with lim-ited or no health insurance.

In 2008 Dr. Tully made a career move to Progressive CommunityHealth Centers, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) servingMilwaukee’s northwest side. Progressive Community Health Centersoperates four clinics and serves more than 16,000 low-income pa-tients annually. No patient is ever denied care based on insurancestatus or ability to pay. In contrast, it’s precisely those vulnerablepopulations that Progressive Community Health Centers aims toserve. Medicaid reimbursement represents nearly 70 percent of theagency’s revenue, and uninsured patients pay for services on a slid-ing fee.

Progressive Community Health Centers’ largely minority patientpopulation is disproportionately impacted by health disparities. Onein five patients has a diagnosed mental health condition and roughlya third suffer from chronic disease including diabetes and hyperten-sion. Patients also face socioeconomic barriers such as lack of suit-able housing, increased incidence of violence, and higher rates ofunemployment.

Jenni Sevenich, CEO at Progressive Community Health Centers,commented that “these struggles can seem intimidating and eveninsurmountable to some health care providers. But Dr. Tully viewsthese challenges as inspiration for positive change.” Dr. Tully hasspearheaded quality improvement initiatives focused on chronic dis-ease management. This included launching a successful diabetesgroup visit model and introducing a fruit and vegetable prescriptionprogram in partnership with Fondy Food Center. She regularly vol-

City of Milwaukee HealthDepartment awarded$735,000 NACCHO grant tofight the opioid epidemicin Milwaukee County

The National Association of City County HealthOfficials (NACCHO) announced recently that theCity of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) hasbeen awarded $735,000 to further the work of theMilwaukee Overdose Response Initiative (MORI).

MORI is a collaboration between MHD, the Mil-waukee Fire Department (MFD), and other com-munity partners to address challenges related tothe opioid epidemic in Milwaukee County.

The overall goals of MORI include the following:decrease overdose fatalities, increase access toevidence based treatment, and decrease emer-gency department usage.

would leave you with no idea that Trump is actuallydoing stuff on health insurance — stuff his reelec-tion campaign can’t really defend.Trump’s record on health insurance:

more uninsuredTo review the record here, the Trump adminis-

tration spent months pushing a variety of Afford-able Care Act repeal plans, each of which wouldhave cost tens of millions of people their health in-surance. None of those efforts succeeded, but itwasn’t for lack of trying.

He has followed that up by pushing a variety ofMedicaid waiver schemes to allow GOP-heldstates to restrict low-income families’ access tohealth care.

His administration is particularly enthusiasticabout work requirements that reduce coveragewhile doing nothing to encourage work. Work re-quirements in several states were put on hold byfederal courts, but Trump is also remaking the fed-eral judiciary and confirming sympathetic judgesat a record pace. Consequently, he’s likely to ulti-mately prevail in this effort to reduce coverage.

Speaking of the courts, the Trump administrationis also vigorously pursuing a lawsuit that, if suc-cessful, would toss out the entire Affordable CareAct.

That would entail a much more dramatic reduc-tion in Medicaid coverage, plus the loss of subsi-dies for millions of Americans who buy coverageon the exchanges, plus the removal of critical reg-ulatory protections for everyone who gets job-based insurance.

GOP appointees on the Fifth Circuit Courtseemed poised to give Trump what he wanted onthis, then got cold feet just before Christmas. Butthey didn’t rule in favor of upholding the AffordableCare Act. Instead, they came up with some proce-dural delays that may have been designed to notdo anything politically explosive until after the elec-tion.

The result of all this is that the uninsured rate inAmerica is actually rising even though the labormarket is getting stronger — a clear sign thathealth care remains an important policy area thatwon’t be fixed just by good generic economic con-ditions.

And it’s a policy area where Trump is pursuingpriorities — less insurance — that his own teamhas no defense for.

“The Trump administration isvigorously pursuing a lawsuitthat would toss out the entireAffordable Care Act. Thatwould entail a dramatic re-duction in Medicaid cover-age, the loss of subsidies formillions of Americans whobuy coverage on the ex-changes, plus the removal ofcritical regulatory protec-tions for everyone who getsjob-based insurance.”

Trump really doesn’twant to talk about hishealth care record!(continued from cover page)

HOUSTON – People use different coping mech-

anisms to deal with depression, and many use re-ligion to handle depressive symptoms.Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine andthe University of Texas at Austin studied the ef-fects of religious coping and its correlation withthe treatment of psychotherapeutic depression inolder adults. Their findings were recently pub-lished in Aging and Mental Health.

“There are some in the religious community who place more of anegative stigma on mental illness and mental health treatment. Wewanted to see whether somebody’s religious coping affected theirwillingness and satisfaction with therapy and whether it affectedtheir outcome,” said Dr. Mark Kunik, professor of psychiatry re-search at Baylor.

Researchers studied 277 impoverished, homebound older adultswith depression. Participants self-reported their religious copingmechanisms on a coping scale and were divided into three groups.Two of the groups received different types of depression treatmentvideos:

Behavioral therapy: a brief, structured therapy that aims to in-crease and reinforce healthy behavior, such as engaging in mean-ingful life activities aligned with personal values and beliefs.

Problem solving therapy: a brief, structured, cognitive-behavioraltreatment that teaches patients problem-solving coping skills to helpthem deal with major negative life events, as well as daily problemsthat are making them depressed.

A third group of participants were part of the attention controlgroup, which provided telephone call check-ins instead of videotherapy.

According to Kunik, preliminary findings of the study showed reli-gion’s positive effects on patients undergoing video therapy. Thosethat use religion to cope with depression, such as through prayerand meditation, experience better mental, physical and cognitivehealth.

The study also found that religious coping was more commonamong women and African-Americans.

These findings can inform homebound and other older adults whosuffer from depression and are reluctant to seek psychotherapy aswell as aging service providers who work with them.

Other contributors to this work include Namkee G. Choi, John E.Sullivan and C. Nathan Marti. This work was supported by the Na-tional Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (under grant1R01MD009675; PI: N. Choi). St. David’s Foundation also providedsupplemental grant.

Ed Aschoff's death:How often doespneumonia killhealthy adults?"Anyone can get pneumonia, and it can be severe."By Sara G. Miller, courtesy of NBCNews.com

The news that an ESPN reporter died onhis 34th birthday after being treated forpneumonia is a reminder, experts said, ofhow deadly the infection can be, even in oth-erwise healthy young people.

ESPN said the reporter, Ed Aschoff, died on Tuesday aftera brief illness, without elaborating on a cause of death.Aschoff tweeted on Dec. 5 that he had pneumonia.

While often thought of as an illness that affects the sickand the elderly, and while older adults, people with weak-ened immune systems and young children are more at risk,pneumonia can strike indiscriminately, said Dr. Humberto

Choi, a pulmonologist atCleveland Clinic in Ohio.(Choi was not involved withAschoff's case.)

"This is an example thatanyone can get pneumonia,and it can be severe, evenwhen that person is in goodhealth," Choi told NBCNews.

Pneumonia is an infectionthat causes inflammation inthe air sacs of the lungs.These air sacs, called alve-oli, can fill with fluid, makingit difficult to breathe. The dis-ease can be fatal, especiallythis time of year, when res-piratory infections are morecommon, Choi said.

The flu, in particular, canincrease a person's risk ofdeveloping pneumonia.

"This is why we talk somuch about the flu shot,"Choi said.

The flu can lead to pneu-monia in several ways. Thevirus itself can cause viralpneumonia, but having theflu can also put at person atrisk for bacterial pneumonia,which is considered moresevere.

Some cases of viral pneu-monia can clear up on theirown, without treatment, saidDr. Natalie Azar, an assistant

professor of medicine andrheumatology at NYU Lan-gone Medical Center in NewYork City and an NBC Newsmedical contributor. Bacter-ial pneumonia, however,must be treated with antibi-otics.

It's unclear if Aschoff hadbacterial pneumonia, but hesaid in his Dec. 5 tweet thathe was taking antibiotics.

Choi, who works in an in-tensive care unit, said thatpneumonia is one of theleading causes of patients'needing intensive care. Theinflammation can be over-whelming, he said, and pa-tients may need oxygen and

life support.Not every case of pneumo-

nia is severe, however, andmany can be treated withoutpatient care, Choi said.

“In an otherwise healthyyoung adult, barring any-thing unforeseen, treatmentcan be fairly straightforwardand patients can recoverwithin a few weeks," Azarsaid.

"It must be remembered,however, that pneumonia isserious and can be life-threatening in certain situa-tions," she said. "In certaincases, the infection justoverwhelms someone's im-mune system."

In the U.S., more than250,000 people are hospital-ized each year from pneu-monia, and about 50,000people die, according to theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention.
