Nov. 10 — Two alumni team up to write blog post about equity-minded nurses
Aron King and Carter Todd, two alumni of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis master’s-degree leadership program, recently wrote a blog post sharing their work to build health equity in the local Black men’s community through their Barbershop Health Talks. “Providing health education by showing up for people in trusted environments in the community is a proven and effective way to achieve health equity,” they wrote in the blog, “Achieving Health Equity for Black Men, One Barbershop Health Talk at a Time.” The article was published by the Campaign for Action, a nationwide initiative founded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and AARP, designed to harness the power of nursing to help all Americans lead longer, healthier lives. Aron is a nurse manager with UC Davis Health and a first-year student in the Doctor of Philosophy Degree Program. Carter is a nurse manager at Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento.
