Regulators fined Deutsche Bank $186 million for not fixing anti-money laundering, due diligence, and sanctions controls. This is the third time since 2015 that the Federal Reserve has fined the troubled bank for internal control failures. (CNN Business)

Under the YouTube Health Initiative, the company partnered with several healthcare organizations, including traditional health systems like Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and Mass General Brigham in Boston, as well as online health education platforms like Osmosis and Psych Hub. Other partners include the medical journal the New England Journal of Medicine, the World Health Organization, and the American Public Health Association.

These health organizations created videos on a range of health topics, which YouTube curates in what it calls “carousels” and labels to indicate that the information comes from reputable sources. If someone searches for information on diabetes, for example, they’ll get a carousel of videos from the health partners on diabetes.

Here is where the major benchmarks ended yesterday and for the week:

  • The S&P 500 Index was up 1.47 points at 4,536.34, up 0.7% for the week and the benchmark’s eighth weekly gain in the past 10; the Dow Jones industrial average was up 2.51 points at 35,227.69, up 2.1% for the week; the NASDAQ Composite was down 30.50 points (0.2%) at 14,032.81, down 0.6% for the week.
  • The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was down about 2 basis points at 3.837%.
  • CBOE’s Volatility Index (VIX) was down 0.39 at 13.60.

Utility and health care shares were among the strongest performers Friday, which may reflect investors rotating into more “defensive” sectors, which haven’t participated as much in this year’s rally and may be seen as a “relative value” or “catch-up” play.

Energy stocks were also strong as crude oil futures jumped over 2% and posted a fourth straight weekly gain. Regional banks and communication services were among the weakest sectors, while the small-cap-focused Russell 2000 (RUT) fell slightly.

CELEBRATE: National Public Health Week 2022

Posted on April 8, 2022 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

National Public Health Week is observed during the first week of April every year. That’s seven days to champion the health of all Americans. It’s a week to recognize that everyone should lead healthier lives, irrespective of where they live, work, or come from. Since its founding in 1955, the initiative has become an important movement to highlight issues that can improve the health and happiness of a nation. You could choose to crush a workout or any workout challenge today. It’s a great week to start eating healthy and stick to it. Whatever you do, remember to involve your friends, family, and the larger community. It’s also a week when we campaign for health policies that are fair, inclusive, and accessible to all communities in the United States.

HISTORY

The first National Public Health Week took place in April 1955 and was organized by the American Public Health Association (A.P.H.A.). Since then, the initiative has received tremendous support from civil societies and administrations across the United States. The day recognizes the long history and achievements in public health. It also serves to highlight critical issues to help people lead healthier and happier lives.

In attempting to reach these goals, National Public Health Week seeks to address the root causes of poor health, disease, and lifestyles. It starts with recognizing that healthcare is still a privilege many cannot afford. Where people are born, their neighborhoods, places of work, different lives, and backgrounds determine the quality of healthcare access.

For example, a child who goes to school hungry will not be an engaged student. People working for minimum wages sacrifice health for the sake of an income. It’s thousands of families who have no access to nutritious food in their communities. Or those without the means to travel to access quality healthcare, often located far away.

National Public Health Week is committed to making health inclusive and equitable. It hopes to foster decision-making that considers the health of all communities — irrespective of income, race, or gender. Each year, the first full week in April celebrates the power of the community in realizing this vision. The A.P.H.A. usually announces different themes for each day of the week. From fitness challenges and discussions to sharing healthy recipes — it’s seven days of committing to health as a country.

So, no matter where you are, APHA invites you to join us as we celebrate National Public Health Week! This year’s theme, Public Health Is Where You Are, celebrates what we know is true: The places where we are, physically, mentally and societally, affect our health and our lives.

Celebrate and promote health in your community by hosting your own NPHW event!

Sign the pledge to create the healthiest nation in one generation

Posted on April 9, 2015 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Join Our Mailing List 

The Healthiest Nation Pledge

  • By Susan L. Polan PhD
  • [Associate Executive Director]
  • Public Affairs and Advocacy

Dear Dr. David E. Marcinko,

Study after study consistently confirms an unpleasant fact: Americans live shorter lives and suffer more health issues than people in other high-income countries.

  • We live up to four years less than our peers.
  • We suffer more chronic disease, such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
  • We have higher infant mortality rates.
  • Within the U.S., there is as much as a 15-year difference in life expectancy depending on where you live, your race, your income and how educated you are.

In truth, the U.S. trails other high-income countries in these and most other measures of health.

Hope and Change

How do we change this? We need to make healthy lifestyle choices both as individuals and as a society. Our health is affected by a complex web of social and environmental factors that are often outside of our individual control. The homes we live in, our access to healthy food, the quality of our schools, clean air and water – these and other factors directly affect our health. And for many people, they limit their ability to make healthy choices.

Together We Can

Together we can change this. If we join together, we can demand that our leaders consider health in all their decisions. We can create communities that have a positive influence on our health – communities where it is easy for us all to make healthy choices.

Assessment

Take the first step. Sign the pledge to create the healthiest nation in one generation. Ask your colleagues, friends and family to sign also. The more people who sign, the more influence we can wield. And the more momentum we can build for change.

Sincerely,

Susan Polan
