The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) is expanding its summer policy internship program in 2021 — with the addition of a position named in memory of late GSA Board Chair Kathryn Hyer, MPP, PhD, FGSA, FAGHE, who passed away in January.
Dr. Kya Conner (2nd from left) wrote a bill to allocate additional funding and resources (personnel/infrastructure) and priorities for the Florida State office of Minority Health and Health Equity and it was officially signed into law last week by Governor DeSantis. The Governor invited Dr. Conner to the Capital to be present for the signing of the bill along with the bill sponsors Senator Darryl Rouson and House Rep Kamia Brown. One of the priorities outlined in this bill was for the Office of Minority Health and Health Equity to develop partnerships with academic institutions to collect and analyze health disparities data and provide this information back to the State office with a requirement to be updated at least annually. For more information on the bill click here:
