Dear IHPI Community,
This month, we wish a very happy and satisfying retirement to long-time IHPI staff member Phyllis Wright-Slaughter. During her eight-year tenure at IHPI and 13 years at U-M, Phyllis has made countless valued contributions while working with faculty members, staff, and trainees of the Institute and the Departments of Surgery and Urology. She has dedicated her talent, warmth, and energy to help unite faculty, staff, scholars, and collaborators across our vibrant IHPI community.
As Senior Data Architect in the Data & Methods Hub, Phyllis has been an integral member of the IHPI staff team, showcasing extraordinary dedication and commitment to helping many colleagues navigate the intricate process of data access. With incredible attention to detail, Phyllis shepherded countless requests to ensure the timely delivery of data vital to research endeavors. She facilitated cross-disciplinary, collaborative relationships and reduced barriers to data access, and was instrumental in fostering a cooperative environment of research excellence within the IHPI community. It has been an honor to work with Phyllis, and we will miss her deeply.
Please join me and the rest of the Institute in thanking Phyllis for her exceptional work, and in wishing her all the best in this next chapter!
John Z. Ayanian, M.D., M.P.P.

A new study shows LGBT adults remain significantly more likely than others to report going without health care because of cost despite closing gaps in health insurance coverage itself. The health insurance landscape has changed dramatically, including significant improvements in health equity, yet the drivers of that change should have also reduced barriers for LGBT people, according to Thomas Buchmueller, Ph.D., professor of business, and co-authors.
