Our study found that ambulance deserts are more likely to affect rural vs. urban populations and are associated with higher area deprivation indices (ADIs), indicating more disadvantaged neighborhoods are likely to have fewer EMS stations available. @CBerryTraumaMD @cdimag

"A new Rutgers study spanning 236 urban areas found that residents of historically redlined communities remain less likely to receive rapid emergency medical services, a gap researchers say is rooted in discriminatory policies from the 1930s." https://t.co/ztaSlyaAgu

Thank you @usnews for highlighting our research! National & state health policy must treat equitable EMS access as a non-negotiable public health standard, ensuring that the zip code where someone is injured never determines whether they live or die. @Rutgers_NJMS @rutgershealth
U.S. News & World Report picks up the Health Day story on a Rutgers study that found “redlined neighborhoods” still receive a delay in emergency care, quoting Dr. Cherisse Berry, Rutgers NJMS health expert. https://t.co/RDI29Gc5YE

Where you live can mean the difference between life and death. A new @CUEpidemiology study finds that historically redlined neighborhoods continue to receive slower EMS response times—putting lives at risk in strokes, heart attacks & trauma care. @drdustinduncan @JAMANetworkOpen

Thank you @JAMANetworkOpen for publishing our @NIMHD funded work. Historical policies shape today’s health inequities—creating a powerful opportunity to reform policy and invest in a national trauma system rooted in equity. @Rutgers_NJMS @SocietyofBAS @rutgershealth @NationalMed
Historically redlined areas in the US have less rapid access to emergency medical services compared to more desirable areas, underscoring disparities in prehospital care. https://t.co/qGl2zwcdJI

ICYMI: Finally some good news! The senate committee rejected the 40% budget cut for NIH and instead endorsed a $400 million budget increase! Science for the win.
