How does COVID impact people differently across a lifespan?

Today’s episode, ‘COVID Across a Lifespan’, reviews the impact of COVID across the ages and stages of a patient’s life. Our guest, Chanelle Diaz, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, will join our episode host, Deliana Garcia, Chief Programs Officer of International and Emerging Issues at Migrant Clinicians Network, to talk about how COVID treatment and care may vary across populations, particularly among underserved, immigrant, and migrant populations.

Clinicians will learn about how to tailor care plans to best serve these populations, considering pre-existing health conditions such as chronic diseases, diabetes, cancer, obesity, asthma, tobacco use, occupational hazards, and other factors.

This is one of several episodes exploring the long-term impacts of COVID in ‘COVID’s Lasting Impact: Caring for Immigrant, Migrant and Asylee Patients,’ MCN’s podcast miniseries.

Guest

Chanelle Diaz, MD, MPH
Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center,

Internal Medicine Medical Director at
the Charles Rangel Community Health Center

Dr. Diaz is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center and the Internal Medicine Medical Director at the Charles Rangel Community Health Center. She grew up in Miami, Florida, where she was raised by her immigrant grandparents. She attended Williams College, received her MD/MPH from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and completed her residency training in Primary Care and Social Internal Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Diaz’s work focuses on community-engaged approaches to address immigrant health inequities resulting from immigration enforcement policies. As a resident, Dr. Diaz joined a network of volunteer clinicians visiting immigration prisons to evaluate detained immigrants with serious medical conditions to document unmet medical needs. Bearing witness to the many harms detained immigrants experienced influenced her in pursuing research collaborations to document the health harms of
immigration imprisonment and publishing several opinion pieces in the lay media on the public health hazards of immigration detention. She has collaborated with other medical and legal experts to develop best practices in the medical evaluation of individuals in immigration detention, and has trained dozens of residents and medical students. Dr. Diaz is committed to using her voice as a physician advocate to uplift human rights, health justice, and equity.
