Noor: Good afternoon Dr. Sara, thank you so much for joining me today. I just have a couple questions to ask you about New Orleans and Medicine, especially Health disparities. My first question for you is why did you choose Pharmacy?
Dr. Sara: Well first, thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be able to answer these questions for you. Pharmacy grew out of a natural desire to be at the healthcare field, my uncle was a pharmacist-he actually work for the Ministry of Health in Iraq- so we- I come from a long line of pharmacists and particularly Pharmacy allowed me the opportunity to be particularly involved in therapeutic management of patients, which I was more interested in the management side as opposed to the diagnosis side so that's why pharmacy was very attractive.
Noor: That's interesting and then for my next question I have for you is what do you enjoy so much about New Orleans and why did you choose New Orleans for your work?
Dr.Sara: So my family moved here when I was 4 years old, so that wasn't necessarily my choice but I was raised in New Orleans- I did spend time in other parts of the United States; I did live on both the west coast and the east coast and even though both of those are near Water, neither of them have seafood as good as New Orleans so probably, the number one reason is the food. Also the culture here is different than the rest of the United States and I find it very accepting, very warm and it's really ideal for a community's to- to work together across because New Orleans has a very integrated approach to in terms of how it deals with its history as well as how it invites new people, so I've been in New Orleans for quite a long time, raised and educated largely in New Orleans.
Noor: Thank you so much, Speaking of communities, as a Muslim woman yourself, what [how] would you describe the Muslim Community in greater New Orleans, especially in the health fields?
Dr. Sara: Well the community changed a lot. New Orleans is a port city so the Dynamics of who would choose to settle in New Orleans has changed over the years and I particularly changed post- Katrina. After Katrina, we did lose a lot of the older families and it was replaced with people looking for newer opportunities. New Orleans does have a pretty robust Health Care industry particularly for training, when we had Charity Hospital which is now UMCNO but Charity itself was one of the Highlight trained medical training institution in the world particularly with trauma care, so individuals who were attracted to the healthcare education through Ochsner or LSU or Tulane, were drawn so we've always have that large cohort of healthcare practitioners within the Muslim Community and they would come here for training. Some of that was transient and many of them I leave so because it was mainly seen as a train place for training opportunities,we didn't have the opportunity to really build robust health care systems for recent migrants whether they be Muslim or not as well as-what you might see in Los Angeles or Chicago- was like the Umah Clinic, we didn't have those because many of our Healthcare practitioners in here for training would leave or be placed elsewhere and so I still think with regards to the Muslim Community and health care, I hope they get trained here but I also hope they stay and help build our our system which serves our community.
Noor: Of course, and could you briefly explain your work with local mosques and COVID-19.
Dr. Sara: Sure, my training is in infectious disease and critical care as a Pharmacist and I’ve spent the last three years getting a second doctorate with John Hopkins University looking particularly at vaccines. So I’ve spent three years training on vaccinations and vaccine equity globally. So when the pandemic arose, there were several funding opportunities offered by the National Institute of Health. One of them was LA-CEAL another one is called Radx-Up, all of these are COVID based. And in order for any research to be effective, particularly on- in Health Crisis, we need community involvement. So we have always had-both my family and through our relief agency my family runs which is called Medical Relief Fund, we had a very robust relationship with many of the masjids, particularly those masjids which represent communities that were disproportionately impacted by COVID and by that I mean African American community. We saw the early disparities emerge, we know they were contextualized by historical disparities related to lack of healthcare access and discrimination within the larger U.S. context but also within the Healthcare System, so when we received the funding to help alleviate the impact of COVID. I was able to leverage our long relationship with the African American Muslims and their masjids to use it as ,not only to provide COVID testing and vaccination education but also for them to share with us how they think we can overcome the pandemic and prevent these disparities in the future. I would say that as a researcher, we’ve benefitted far more from them than they did from us.
Noor: Thank you so much, and do you wish to see any specific future developments for Muslim Americans in health, in the health fields?
Dr.Sara: Well the Muslim American community is probably well represented in the health fields and what I’m hoping is that they branch out and see it beyond just the clinical practice, so what I have done recently is looking for opportunities for research, for advocating for equity across groups- not just Muslim groups- and also becoming in vloved in policy making, If- I’m hoping for the next step for Muslim American health Professionals is really to move towards these decision making roles that are informed by research roles, so when we’re addressing health care disparities or as well emgering health issues that we’re doing it from a much higher level than just direct patient access. Now direct patient access is of course the key and heart but I think we’re now well trained enough and represented enough that we can move to the next levels and start sitting at policy decision meetings.
Noor: I mean that’s all the questions that I have for you today… Thank you for your time.

Intro (music)
Zaynab Al-Rashed: So just as a brief introduction, can you talk to us a little bit more about the whole Christian Vaccine Access Coalition and your inspiration when founding the Christian Vaccine Access Coalition?
Dr. Chris Sylvain: Well, so it's my father-in-law; and he, you know, on dialysis, we were thinking, he should be first in line (because he was early on in his 80s). So, they weren’t able to...uh... set him up for a vaccine. They told him to go to Ochsner’s and Touro; and then Touro didn’t have anything. So that was a problem. We had already lost his wife - we had already lost my mother-in-law and so the challenge of trying to find out who vaccines was insurmountable. And we’re thinking: My wife’s a social worker; I am a pharmacist… If we are having trouble, imagine what everybody else is going through. And we need this vaccine to live. So, um, what we decided was, we sent out an email - and Tynesia* was on the email (I included her because I know she’s always interested in helping out) - to see who would be interested in helping make calls to find out who has vaccines. Because that’s what we had to do; find out who has vaccines. We got a great response. You know, it started out with the church where people really wanted to help out. So, uh, we set up a website and people have been able to call and find out - or just check the website - and it’s made a difference. So that’s the Christian Vaccine Access Coalition and uh, I think they call it CVAC or something like that.
Zaynab Al-Rashed: Thank you so much for that! What are some suggestions you have going forward from the pandemic as a community pharmacist for someone who’s interested in future healthcare?
Dr. Chris Sylvain: Disparities have been in place way before COVID but it highlighted it in a way that, I don't think many of the things we’ll be able to do. Because even for vaccine acces, those that had power and access were able to get to the vaccine. Those without power and access haven’t been able to as much. We see some big disparities there. And so, pharmacy/ pharmacists, right in the community must realize that we have to do more than dispense drugs; but have relationships with people where we can create systems, where we can create mechanisms where people can be helped. And, I don’t think pharmacy has looked at it that way, I don’t think medicine has looked at it that way.
Zaynab Al-Rashed: In the future, do you think that this is a problem that can be resolved? Or do you believe that the issue of vaccine nationalism or medicine becoming more of like um, a competition, a nationalist sense of pride rather than, you know, a science that is distributed for the benefit of the people - Do you think that will be an issue in future decades or do you think that future generations maybe do have the power to resolve this and how?
Dr. Chris Sylvain: Oh, yeah I’m very very hopeful. One, if we look at things historically; uh you know, one is things are bad. The good thing is that we are at a point where it becomes intolerable - the systems that we have right now. And so, change is coming; we’re in the middle of change and I think that people who care about people...again, we all have to believe the same thing, we all have to… we can be individuals that come from all walks of life, alright, and still care. We can join together in unity and say that we care. And we’re not gonna block ourselves off; we wanna help people. And so, I believe that is coming; I see so much hope because people are tired of, you know, those who are attempting to only take care of their own and not take care of humanity. You know, it’s over and over again, that people are about sick and tired of it. And I see a movement where people are saying: No, we are not gonna take it anymore..
Zaynab Al-Rashed: One last question to wrap up because I do understand that you’re busy...You’re very much, Dr. Sylvain, a leader in not only your personal community but in the New Orleans community as well. And, I was wondering what advice would you give to people who are inspired by the work that you and the leadership initiative that you have taken?
Dr. Chris Sylvain: The advice that I would give would be to care. I think caring drives everything; selfishness is a disease. It really, really is. Selfishness is a horrible disease that hurts people; it locks people in. But if we can be content, recognize that we can’t hog everything, and care about others...caring creates leadership. That’s all leaders do; leaders are the ones that care. Caring, and than being able to communicate; that's critical. You know, to care and communicate. And the inspiration has to be to care and communicate and multiply that; reach others to help them learn how to care and communicate. And each one teach one.
Zaynab Al-Rashed: Thank you so much for your time Dr. Sylvain, this has truly been an honor…

Intro (music): (Anthony Thompson) Good evening Dr. Wiltz and thank you for being part of the Black History Month Black in Medicine Series. My first question for you is: What made you go into medicine?
Dr. Gary Wiltz: Well thank you Anthony, and it’s a pleasure to be with you. That’s a question that I think most people who go into medicine get asked. Particularly if you're pre-med, they ask you: Why do you want to become a doctor? I guess in my case, I grew up in New Orleans. I was born at Charity Hospital, the old Charity we call big Charity Hospital, on the colored ward section because it was segregated back in 1953 when I was born. Having grown up, I grew up in the 7th ward. I went to public schools in New Orleans and just having the experience of seeing how healthcare was being delivered in more of a tiered system, I knew I always wanted to do something to help people, and as I'm sure you’ll find if you’re pre-med, medicine is a calling. It's almost a religious sort of experience where you are called. The old biblical saying, many are called but few are chosen, is true in medicine too. I just found that it was a tremendous venue. I got a lot of encouragement. I was good in sciences in school, and had a lot of encouragement from my teachers in high school, and then I guess the big turning point for me influence-wise, was when I got to Tulane undergrad and was pre-med. I got involved in a program called MED REP, the Medical Education and Reinforcement Enrichment Program, and it was headed up by Dr. Anna Cherrie Epps, and we actually had some conjunction with Xavier University, where they actually allowed us to have a summer enrichment where we did research at the medical school, prepped for the MCAT, and actually were guaranteed an interview. Because of that intervention, I would not have had the career that I’ve had in medicine. So I guess to answer your question, it was calling. I view medicine as a sacred trust, one of the most intimate forms of human contact you can have, and I wanted to do something to serve the community, particularly the community that I was born in, grew up in, and wanted to give back to.
Anthony: Thank you for that very informative answer. My next question for you is: What are the challenges of your role as a physician?
Dr. Wiltz: That's a loaded question. As you know, I’m CEO of an FQHC, which is a Federally Qualified Health Center. The more common name is a community health center. Just a little background about that, community healthcare centers have been in existence since 1965. They were part of the great war on poverty that president Lyndon Johnson and that congress initiated. A lot of great things came out of that movement in 1965. It began the Medicare program, the Medicaid program, the Community Action Head Start program, and community health centers. A lot of it was based on what we now come to appreciate as social determinants of health and we knew that you had to address those underlying issues, and because of those issues, it affected people's health. That is what I've kind of dedicated my life to. I had the good fortune when I was in medical school at Tulane to be awarded a National Service Corps Scholarship. That scholarship paid for my medical school. In return, I had to pay back time at what was called an underserved area. So like a lot of my colleagues, I grew up in New Orleans in an urban setting, and did not have a full appreciation for what rural communities were lacking. Charity Hospital was great if you were in the city and you had access to that care. But if you lived 100 miles away and had to take a Greyhound bus, travel 3, 4 hours to go to Charity Hospital for primary care and things that should have been delivered in the local setting, that I realized right away was a big challenge: increasing access, and of course having culturally competent people to deliver that care. I always said that a lot of the problems that we have particularly in the African American community, I've heard it said and I agree: No one can help save us from us but us. So I think empowering our communities with the tools and the things that we need to improve our health is a big part of the equation to help get us to a better place.
Anthony: My final question for you is: What do you want communities of color to know about COVID-19 and the science surrounding it?
Dr. Wiltz: Well I think to just reiterate that the science was based on real science. I have, this is the mask that I wear. It says, I trust the science, and I wear that intentionally with all my patients and when I'm speaking publicly before I take it off. So I want our communities to know that the science is there, there is a commitment from the president, President Biden, from Governor Edwards, that we have prioritized. He's created an Equity Task Force and we have prioritized African American communities should be at the front of the line to get the vaccines because it’s devastated our communities, and the worst thing we can do as a people is not take advantage of the vaccines. That's one of the biggest ways we’re going to get out of this situation.
Anthony: Dr. Wiltz thank you very much for those informative answers and I again thank you for being a part of the Black in Medicine Series.
Dr. Wiltz: You’re quite welcome Anthony.

Intro (music): (Yvonne Milton) I'm really going to miss carnival. Mardi Gras was the best, but it's gone now because of the corona.
Brier: This year marks the first time in 32 years that Mardi Gras has been cancelled in New Orleans. Due to Covid-19 all festivities leading up to Mardi Gras including the parades have been put off. This has affected us all in New Orleans, but there are many who still keep the spirit alive by transforming their homes into float houses, and these are their voices.
Ingrid Labat: You don't need an excuse to party in New Orleans.
Brian Lapeyrolerie: The big thing about Mardi Gras and all the social organizations in New Orleans is the fraternization amongst members and friends and different walks of life. Have a good time with some people you don't even know or you can be with your friends and have a great time. That's the whole thing. It's that everyone forgets their worries.
Brenda Manson: Right now, we'd all hang out and have some music going and the chairs, sitting down, like in family groups, and just wait for the parades to come. And we'd stay there the whole day long from Zulu all the way until the floats come.
Ingrid Labat: If it’s not Mardi Gras, it’s Jazz Fest, it’s French Quarter Fest, it’s Essence Fest, and then football season takes up half of the year. But then after football and the holidays, here we go again back to Mardi Gras.
Brenda Manson: It's Happy Valentine's, Mardi Gras.
Brier: Sky!
Skylar: Yeah, what's up?
Brier: Do you have a song that reminds you of Mardi Gras?
Skylar: Yeah
Brier: Really
Skylar: Yeah
