"Community Conversations About COVID-19" was a multi-group program designed to address the need for culturally sensitive health information about COVID-19 for Latinx and Native American communities. Three medical librarians worked closely with Latinx and/or Spanish-speaking , also known as community health workers (CHWs), and native patient navigators (NPNs) from Native American communities in Tucson, Arizona. In addition, the librarians collaborated with second-year medical students from the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix. The focus was to train the CHWs, NPNs, and students on how to access health information resources from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other reliable agencies. The second segment of the program provided the opportunity for the groups to learn from each other's experiences working with health information through this pandemic, which is especially important given the fact the CHWs and NPNs live in, care for, and were brought up in these communities.

Introduction: Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a prevalent condition in emergency departments (EDs). Standard care involves early laparoscopic cholecystectomy; however, in cases of delayed presentation, high surgical risk, or during situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) serves as an alternative management strategy. This study reports our center's experience with PC in managing AC, providing insights from a unique geographical context.

Background: Since the 1990s, spine disorders have remained the leading cause of global disability, disproportionately affecting economically marginalized individuals, rural populations, women, and older people. Back pain related disability is projected to increase the most in remote regions where lifestyle and work are increasingly sedentary, yet resources and access to comprehensive healthcare is generally limited. To help tackle this worldwide health problem, World Spine Care Canada, and the Global Spine Care Initiative (GSCI) launched a four-phase project aiming to address the profound gap between evidence-based spine care and routine care delivered to people with spine symptoms or concerns in communities that are medically underserved.
