Lovell’s Food For Thought: The Failure to Truly Address Health Inequities in America

"If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you always gotten."

I often use a quote by Mom’s Mabely. It states the following: "If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you always gotten." The science of the Twentieth and now the 21st Century, as it pertains to addressing the health of all Americans, will continue to not work if we continue to highlight discoveries without focusing on the delivery and involving the community, especially communities of color at every stage of the process. If we continue to use the same criteria as we did in this century we will be reading similar editorials from the AMA in the next decade. The signs have been there for more than three decades now, telling us that what we are doing is not working. The question now is: What are we going to do about it? Are we going to continue along the same path? Or, are we going to try something different, realizing that health along with not solve problem of health disparities? This opinion piece and the recent article in the American Journal of Public Health says we have yet to realize this truth (https://ajph.aphapublications.org/toc/ajph/109/S1). Having been at this for almost four decades, will I see a similar special edition in by five decade?
