He is a commentator at CNN and his newsletter\, The Incision\, cuts into the trends shaping our moment. His three books include Healing Politics: A Doctor’s Journey into the Heart of Our Political Epidemic (Abrams Press\, 2020)\, which diagnoses our country’s epidemic of insecurity and the empathy politics we will need to treat it; and Medicare for All: A Citizen’s Guide (Oxford University Press\, 2021)\, co-authored with Dr. Micah Johnson\, which offers a no nonsense guide to the policy. He is the host of “America Dissected\,” a podcast by Crooked Media\, which goes beyond the headlines to explore what really matters for our health.

He was awarded “Public Official of the Year” by the Michigan League of Conservation Voters and “40 under 40” by Crain’s Detroit Business. \nAs a professor at Columbia University’s Department of Epidemiology\, Abdul became an internationally recognized expert in health policy and health inequalities.

After being booed off stage the first two times\, the third time Omar Regan got his first laugh and fell in love with stand-up comedy. \nThe next few years Regan went through the ups and downs of Stand-up comedy and found his groove by 2005 where Stand-up comedy scouts invited him to perform at the world famous Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Omar Regan then was scouted by agents for VH1’s reality series titled “Fight for Fame” which earned him a Hollywood agent in 2006. His agent promised a Comedy Central special if you went “dirty” with his comedy act. (ie. use of profanity\, explicit content etc). Regan strongly disagreed based on his vision of wanting to do comedy where a whole family could laugh together. Based on these creative differences\, the agency eventually dropped him\, and he decided to become independent. \nIn 2008 Omar Regan performed comedy for Al-Jazeerah and was invited to perform Stand-up in the Muslim World. This was a game-changer. \nOmar Regan is now a veteran comedian and has earned a strong fan base in the United Kingdom\, Canada\, Australia\, South Africa\, Middle East\, Pakistan\, Malaysia and Indonesia and is among the top ten comedians in the Muslim World using comedy to promote tolerance\, diversity and aims to build bridges across racial\, religious and social divides.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sponsors\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Directions URL:https://www.cairoklahoma.com/event/banquet2022/ LOCATION:Hilton Garden Inn Edmond Conference Center\, 2833 Conference Drive\, Edmond\, OK\, 73034\, United States GEO:35.6833936;-97.4228488 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hilton Garden Inn Edmond Conference Center 2833 Conference Drive Edmond OK 73034 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2833 Conference Drive:geo:-97.4228488,35.6833936 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210730T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210730T200000 DTSTAMP:20260430T133833 CREATED:20210706T184835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210706T185003Z UID:10000253-1627668000-1627675200@www.cairoklahoma.com SUMMARY:Eid Al-Adha Block Party DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday July 30th from 6 pm to 8 pm as we gather in the parking lot of the CAIR Oklahoma office for our first-ever Eid Al-Adha Block Party!
