Recently @nytimes.com misreported facts about the noble gift of life. I am a registered organ donor and a proud caregiver to transplant recipients. ~90k patients are waiting for a kidney transplant & 50% will die before it due to organ shortage. Learn more here:

As a Latina physician and daughter of Mexican immigrants, I am furious.
🚨Effective today, Texas hospitals will be required to collect information on citizenship status on patients under Executive Order GA-46. This is an attack on our communities!

Dr. Bernard Lown said “How can I be a doctor and close my eyes to this overwhelming reality.”
It’s time to defy the status quo. It’s time to demand and to create change. All people, regardless of immigration status, should have sustainable, high quality, access to healthcare.
Thank you @lowninstitute for this beautiful celebration of social justice work & the opportunity to follow the legacy of Dr. Lown, @AltafSaadiMD and @MonaHannaA ❤️
Congratulations to Dr. @Cervantes_Lily1 on being awarded the 2024 Bernard Lown Award for Social Responsibility! Your dedication to medicine and social justice is an inspiration to all! 💙🎉 #medicine #socialjustice #DEIJ
