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.
