Digital Communication During Times of Uncertainty

From the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 

Health and equity topics are dominating social media conversations, but it can be difficult to find the right moment to share, the right words to write, or the right tone to convey while national and local crises rapidly evolve. How do we continue to reach our goals while creating space and finding opportunities to pivot when needed, and get our messages across with empathy? RWJF’s digital communications manager Erin Kelly speaks with Burness’ director of digital strategy Nick Dean on how to plan social campaigns in uncertain times.

Gun Violence and its Impact on Healthcare

In the United States, there are over 100 gun deaths each day and about 38,000 each year. Despite the number of deaths, lingering health impacts from gunshot wounds, and the psychological impact a gun death or injury can have on a household or community, gun violence is framed as a political or criminal justice issue rather than a health issue. There is a great need to reframe gun violence as a health and public health issue, not just a political one.

Panelists include:

  • Therese S. Richmond, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Andrea B. Laporte Professor of Nursing and Associate Dean for Research & Innovation at Penn Nursing
  • Dr. Zaffer A Qasim, MBBS, FRCEM, FRCPC(EM), EDIC, Assistant Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine at the department of Emergency Medicine at Perelman School of Medicine
  • Dr. Chidinma C. Nwakanma, MD, Penn Medicine physician and Assistant Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine
