from personnel to laboratories to financing, and more.
Some of the articles discuss workforce trends during the pandemic, ways to improve coordination between public health and medical care systems, strategies for mitigating community spread of COVID-19 at the local level, and recommendations for modernizing emergency health systems.
In 2021 we announced our commitment to advance health equity through research and practice at Health Affairs. Our goals for the project, which began in 2020 and launched with funding from the Colorado Health Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, are to:
Ensure racial/ethnic diversity of journal authors and reviewers
Increase the quality and quantity of published content on racial health equity
Address our own biases as part of the publishing enterprise
Lead transformation in improving racial equity alongside other health-associated journals
In a peer-reviewed article published in Wiley Learned Publishing, Director Of Health Equity Vabren Watts and others from the Health Affairs team shared insights about the journey to advance racial equity in scholarly publishing of health policy and health services research.

Judith (Judy) Heumann, an internationally recognized disability advocate, passed away last weekend. She was 75 years old.
Heumann, who contracted polio as a small child,
remained a quadriplegic throughout her life. Her career as an activist began immediately, as she and her family fought to enroll her in elementary school, amid concerns that her wheelchair could cause a safety hazard during emergencies. Heumann came into the national spotlight in 1977, when she organized a demonstration to pressure the federal government to enforce legislation outlawing discrimination against disabled people in federally funded institutions.
Heumann later served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, and held positions as an advisor, fellow, or board member for a wide array of national and international organizations.
