It is wonderful to see such a strong cohort of physicians and nurses elected to Congress. This expertise will be invaluable to improving health outcomes in the US and globally. Cc @CUGHnews @PublicHealth
Yesterday was a big win for America’s health. The following doctors and nurses won their elections: Senate • Dr. Annie Andrews (MD, pediatrician) - South Carolina • Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (MD, epidemiologist & former Detroit health director) - Michigan Governor • Dr. Amy Acton (MD, MPH, former Ohio health director) - won Ohio House • Dr. Richard Pan (MD, MPH, pediatrician) - California • Dr. Adam Hamawy (MD, surgeon) - New Jersey • Dr. John Cowan (MD, neurosurgeon) - Georgia • Mitchell Berman (RN, ER nurse) - Wisconsin • Kristina Knickerbocker (APRN-CNP, neuro-oncology nurse practitioner & Air Force veteran) - Ohio Plus reelected nurses Lauren Underwood (IL) and Sheri Biggs (SC), and several physician incumbents who held their seats. Health care professionals just got a much louder voice in our country.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🩺 🇺🇸

Absolutely, the intl community needs to step up and support the nations affected by this Ebola outbreak as directed by them. Cc @CUGHnews @Dr_JeanKaseya @AfricaCDC @WorldBankGroup @DrTedros @WHO
The world needs to start paying attention. We will break 15,000 deaths by the new year. And just because Ebola isn’t going to become a pandemic doesn’t mean it is not a global health security threat as well as a humanitarian disaster.
