TAAIS Statement Surrounding Current Events: Racism & Health Disparities in COVID-19 Pandemic

The TAAIS mission is to promote the highest standards in Allergy and Clinical Immunology through improving patient care, promoting education, and increasing awareness. Our mission is threatened by the public health issue of racism, which is a driver of health inequity.

As an organization, TAAIS stands against racism and hate. We are committed to improving the care of all patients suffering from allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic disorders. We are committed to promoting patient and physician education on allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic disorders. We are committed to increasing awareness among physicians and the general public about our specialty.

TAAIS has asserted to address health inequities through reflecting on our own implicit biases and listening to our colleagues/employees who come from different backgrounds, learning how our practices can make changes to advance the equity of care for all patients, and supporting trainees from underserved populations to educate them about our fulfilling field.

TAAIS consciously demonstrates our disapproval of prejudice and discrimination and stands together to treat all humanity with equality, fairness, tolerance, and compassion.

About TAAIS 

 The Texas Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Society (TAAIS) was formed on May 12, 1984, and represents over 325 board-certified Allergists and Immunologists in Texas. The Society’s goals are to promote the highest standards in Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

TAAIS sponsors continuing medical education programs each year for allergists/immunologists, primary care physicians, primary care residents, and allergy practice managers. 

Advocacy is important to TAAIS and in the past year, the Society has made donations to both the AAAAI GAIN Campaign and the ACAAI Research Trust; has subsidized its 23rd Annual Primary Care Residents’ Conference; has given travel stipends for primary care residents to attend the ACAAI Annual Meeting in Houston; has given five Asthma Scholarship Awards to high school seniors planning to attend college; and has funded an “Outcomes in A/I” Fellow’s Research Award.

TAAIS is a resource that responds to members’ questions on a variety of issues.  The TAAIS Facebook page and TAAIS Twitter both have information for physicians, patients and the general public.  TAAIS members receive a quarterly subscription to Allergy & Asthma Proceedings as well as the TAAIS Annual Newsletter.
