Dr. Alegría recently started a monthly email series, and we loved it so much we wanted to share each month’s email on Bench Press.

I’m delighted to bring you my first monthly newsletter, Conversations with Margarita. Every month, we’ll chat about a new topic to expand our understanding of the issues that shape our health.

Dr. Alegría’s research is focused on testing new models of care, interventions for improving health care and eliminating health care disparities for diverse populations.

Severity in chest x-rays increase the likelihood of admission to the intensive care unit, intubation and death.

Mass General researchers have found that women pay an average of three dollars more per ounce for comparable facial moisturizers.

A new study from the Mass General Disparities Research Unit provides insights into how to improve care for minority patients through shared decision making.

Addressing disparities in healthcare remains an important but difficult issue to tackle, in part due to the uncomfortable nature of discussing racial and ethnic divides.
