Humankindness doesn’t have a how-to guide. Its practice isn’t laid out step by step. Each of us are free to express, define, and relate to humankindness in our own way. #Hellohumankindness

As a nonprofit health ministry, every day, we see the realities of health inequity. We see the lives that could have been saved with earlier intervention, we see the impact that limited access to care not only has on people, but also entire communities, and we have seen what COVID-19 has done to make this disparity even more deadly. CommonSpirit Health is taking a stand to promote social justice and advocate for health equity in our community in a virtual town hall called Humankindness Across America. CommonSpirit Health CEO Lloyd Dean leads a conversation about this incredibly important work and charts our future forward as a ministry dedicated to all we serve. We hope you’ll join in the conversation with us.

While many are physically separated from friends and loved ones, we are fortunate to have great tools to use -- starting with the phone, and including Skype, Zoom, Facebook and Instagram. Be sure to include those who may be especially isolated right now. #Hellohumankindness

The first known case in the Bay Area of a dual coronavirus-influenza infection was confirmed this week in Solano County. If you haven't done so already, GET YOUR FLU SHOT, and while you're at it, double down on social distancing and mask wearing. Getting a flu vaccine has never been more important. Vaccination not only reduces the risk of catching the flu, it also reduces the chance that you'll be hospitalized. #covid #flu #coronavirus
