Pope's Blood Tests Show ‘Slight Improvement,' Vatican Says
(Bloomberg) -- Pope Francis' blood tests showed 'a slight improvement' in measurements of inflammation and the pontiff remained in stable condition as he's hospitalized for pneumonia, the Vatican said.

Earlier in the day, the pontiff, who was admitted for treatment in Rome on Friday, met for 20 minutes with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who said he is 'alert and responsive.'
'We joked as always,' Meloni said in an earlier statement. 'He hasn't lost his proverbial sense of humor.'
Francis, 88, was hospitalized after what doctors called an increasingly complex health issue. The Vatican said the pope was suffering from pneumonia in both lungs — and that medical staff had altered his drug regimen to battle the infection.
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Francis has been the spiritual leader of the world's Catholics since 2013. He is the first pope to hail from the Americas and the first non-European pontiff since the eighth century.

Key RFK Jr advisers stand to profit from a new federal health initiative
Federal health officials are seeking to launch a 'bold, edgy' public service campaign to warn Americans of the dangers of ultra-processed foods in social media, transit ads, billboards and even text messages. And they potentially stand to profit off the results. Ultra-processed foods are a fixation for the US health and human services (HHS) secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine skeptic who believes the US industrialized food supply is a 'primary culprit' behind many chronic diseases. 'We need to fix our food supply. And that's the number one thing,' Kennedy said at his confirmation hearing. Bringing healthier foods to Americans has proved to be one of the most resonant issues of Kennedy's 'Make America healthy again' (Maha) campaign – and arguably the only one that Democrats and Republicans agree on in principle. Kennedy has spent most of his tenure as health secretary dismantling key components of US vaccine infrastructure, instituting mass firings and defunding chronic disease prevention programs, such as for tobacco use. The secretary has been less successful in reigning in food makers. Food advocates have described voluntary changes between the government and manufacturers 'disappointing'. Kennedy was criticized by congressional Republicans for targeting agricultural pesticides in the 'Maha' report before it was even released – showing the limits of Republicans appetite for regulation, then the report itself was riddled with errors, likely generated by AI. 'The campaign's creative content will turn heads, create viral moments on social media, and – above all else – inspire Americans to take back their health through eating real food,' said a document published by the federal government that described the campaign. The campaign is expected to cost between $10m to $20m, according to documents. Anyone seeking to apply for the award will have a quick turnaround – the deadline is 26 June. 'The purpose of this requirement is to alert Americans to the role of processed foods in fueling the diabetes epidemic and other chronic diseases, inspire people to take personal responsibility for their diets, and drive measurable improvements in diabetes prevention and national health outcomes,' it continued. The new public relations campaign also highlights the Trump administration's unconventional approach to hiring – including its reliance on special government employees. A key adviser to Kennedy, Calley Means, could directly benefit from one of the campaign's stated aims: popularizing 'technology like wearables as cool, modern tools for measuring diet impact and taking control of your own health'. Calley Means is a senior Kennedy adviser, and was hired as a special government employee to focus on food policy, according to Bloomberg. He founded a company that helps Americans get such wearable devices reimbursed tax-free through health savings accounts. Casey Means is Calley's sister. She also runs a healthcare start-up, although hers sells wearable devices such as continuous glucose monitors. She is Kennedy's nominee for US surgeon general, and a healthcare entrepreneur whose business sells continuous glucose monitors – one such wearable device. Calley Means's company also works with Casey's company. Due to Calley Means's status as a special employee, he has not been forced to divest from his private business interests – a situation that has already resulted in an ethics complaint. Consumer advocates, such as the non-profit group Public Citizen, had warned such hiring practices could cause conflicts of interest. HHS did not respond to a request for comment about Calley Means's private business interests, or his role in crafting the publicity campaign. Although the publicity campaign focuses on the ultra-processed foods connection to diabetes, at least one high profile nutritionist was queasy about its focus. 'The ultra-processed foods – some of those include breakfast cereals that are ultra-processed because they are fortified with vitamins,' said Walter Willett, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. 'Those are good if they're whole grain breakfast cereals and whole grain breads,' he said. Ultra-processed foods are generally recognized as sodas, salty snacks and frozen meals engineered to be shelf-stable, convenient and inexpensive. Such foods are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes – or insulin resistance. The mechanism by which such foods could increase risk of diabetes is unknown, a problem that extends in part from the 'heterogeneous category' of foods that the ultra-processed category encompasses. The publicity campaign proposal does not venture into defining the category, even as Kennedy has fixated on it 'poisoning the American people'. 'When you say processed foods you don't envision a Coke in your brain, and that's the biggest problem,' said Willett, who added that most public service campaigns are carefully crafted and tested for effectiveness.

Mass. Black therapists trying to diversify the workforce face an uphill battle
Advertisement 'We took the good and left the bad, and helped create this,' Labissiere, one of the clinic's cofounders, said from the Hyde Park Avenue office. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Labissiere and Wynn are rarities in this grueling industry: Black clinicians who have stuck around and own their own practice. The Child and Family Wellness Center isone of just a few Black-owned behavioral health practices in Massachusetts. In interviews with the Globe, 10 Black mental health care providers, advocates, and public officials agreed several systemic barriers keep the workforce from diversifying. The deep-seated stigma of mental illness among Black people, the time and financial costs of finishing school, and the biases embedded in the field's license exams are roadblocks for diversifying the workforce, which already suffers from massive turnover and vacancy rates. Related : Advertisement The societal costs are immense. The experienced these symptoms at higher rates, said Gemima St. Louis, vice president for workforce initiatives and specialty training and clinical psychology professor at Williams James College in Newton. As the mental health crises that COVID-19 drew out persist, stakeholders worry the behavioral health workforce won't be able to meet this rising demand with culturally competent care. 'We have a workforce that is insufficient, a workforce that lacks the diversity that is represented in the communities that have the greatest needs for mental health services,' St. Louis said. Related : Advocates are introducing measures to tackle the representation gap at its root. Clinicians working in underserved communities can have some of their student debt covered through The people working to diversify the behavioral health workforce are chipping away at a profession that has historically been for white and affluent individuals. A 2023 Advertisement One in 10 respondents in behavioral health leadership roles identified as non-Hispanic Black. Black respondents made up 9 percent of the survey's independently licensed clinicians, meaning they don't need supervision to provide treatment. Only 7.6 percent of behavioral health physicians — professionals with medical degrees — were Black. The lack of representation within the sector doesn't match the range of people needing these services, advocates say. A separate survey of insured residents across Massachusetts found that one in 10 non-Hispanic Black residents reported poor mental health in 2021, along with 15 percent of Hispanic residents. One barrier driving these disparities precedes any roadblocks Black clinicians are facing in their field: mental health care's taboo nature in their community. Black people 'might have a little bit more wealth and more opportunities, but we've never really had a chance to really process our struggles in this country,' said Nieisha Deed, founder of Recruitment into the sector can be happenstance, instead of something instilled from an early age. Larry Higginbottom, CEO of The Osiris Group clinic in Roxbury, stumbled across 'the mental health field' during a chance conversation in the late '80s with Omar Reid, a local pioneer of Black psychology and mental health. Advertisement It was a foreign concept, but '[Reed] planted a seed,' Higginbottom, now 71, said. For Melanie Robinson Findlay, owner of Upwards 'N' Onwards, an independent therapy practice in Hyde Park, the death of a best friend during high school propelled her into social work. By the time she pursued a doctorate, she had 18 years of clinical social work experience, completed a clerkship, and was even appointed to the state's Board of Registration of Social Workers. But this didn't seem like enough. She noticed her peers would find supervisors with ease. Meanwhile, 'I always felt I had to prove myself.' 'What was I missing that they have?' Robinson Findlay said. 'And when you control for all the things, there's only one thing that pops out.' Learning about the craft is only the first hurdle to entering the industry. It costs hundreds for Mental health counselors, clinical social workers, psychologists, and other professionals within the field must complete thousands of hours to qualify for a license, some of which have to be under direct supervision from another practitioner. Labissiere said the onus for supervision is placed on the aspiring clinician; they must find someone who is willing to sign off on their application and in turn, lose an employee that keeps their own practice afloat. 'These are gatekeeper positions,' Labissiere said. 'If you don't have an organization ... pushing you to become licensed, we get stuck.' Advertisement Wynn worries this mentality might choke off the next generation of clinicians of color, which is already a small group. 'People look at it as competition, but there's more than enough clients in need,' Wynn said. 'It's not a competition. It's a collaboration.' While navigating the many stressors of entering the workforce, many aspiring social workers aren't taught the financial literacy needed to start and sustain independent practices, said Malaka Mims, president of the Greater Boston Association of Black Social Workers. So many social workers are focused on passing the exam, she said, that they often say, 'I don't know how to be a business owner.' 'Social workers are trained to help others, but the field must also prioritize self care and equip social workers to care for ourselves,' Mims said. For Robinson Findlay, of Upwards 'N' Onwards, running her own practice has been a longtime dream, but it comes with its own challenges. She has scaled her fees down to accommodate low-income clients, and says she is owed thousands in private insurance reimbursements. She makes up with consulting, lecturing, and a postdoctoral fellowship. Robinson Findlay can barely afford to do this, but she can't refuse a client's request. 'Even if I say no to one, that's too many.' This story was produced by the Globe's team, which covers the racial wealth gap in Greater Boston. You can sign up for the newsletter .
