My latest- every wk in #USA, there’s another #GunViolence tragedy, many we see roll thru hospitals. On avg, we have ~1.5 mass shootings/day in 2023. Something needs to change. We need to push #lawmakers for significant #GunReform @USATODAY @usatodayopinion usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

My latest: As a fellow med professional, I cannot stay silent on the tragic death of Alex Pretti by #ICE. Even weeks later, we must remember this injustice & hold accountable those that allowed the crimes of DHS to get this far. @USATODAY @usatodayopinion usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

My latest: Trump & Dept of Ed re-designated @nursing, NPs, PAs, PTs, & other vital health practitioners as “non-professional”. This is wrong & has consequences. These are life-saving professionals & should be hailed as heroes @USATODAY @usatodayopinion usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

My latest: this Admin & far Right enablers suggest undocumented migrants should not be getting American healthcare. Their policies also attack access for vulnerable American citizens. I cannot stay silent as a doctor or an American. This is inhumane. @usatodayopinion @USATODAY

My latest: #RFK Jr is a danger to the health of all Americans. His polices r openly political & unscientific & have destabilized the @CDCgov. He needs to go & so does any congressman that enable him. Otherwise more ppl will die @usatodayopinion @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

My latest: @realDonaldTrump using fed $$ as a bargaining chip 4 a political agenda is wrong. Grants at @Harvard & academic centers r used to research cures 4 #cancer, heart dz, #Alzheimers & conditions affecting millions of Americans. It's not right & it's unAmerican @USATODAY

My latest: #measles outbreaks r concerning & a symptom of distrust in science & public health. Let’s listen to scientific experts again rather than non-experts which unfort include many elected & appointed officials these days @usatodayopinion @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

My latest- @realDonaldTrump 1st wks worry Drs like me as he attacks Medicare/Aid, ACA, @WHO & climate. Boy, I hope he gets more serious advisors than RFKJr & Dr.Oz. We need public health policies based on science & compassion. @usatodayopinion @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

My latest: As a Dr, I must advocate against #Trump & the #MAGA faction this election. They don’t have your health in mind. Their leadership lost lives during the #pandemic & their policies r not right to keep Americans healthy usatoday.com/story/opinion/v… @usatodayopinion @USATODAY

My latest: many Repubs blocked funding for the #Moonshot Cancer Initiative - which aims to cut #cancer deaths and find cures, bcuz it was started by Pres @JoeBiden . The definition of party over country ☹️ @POTUS @BarackObama @usatodayopinion @USATODAY usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk at the #SHMConverge24 conference! Get your voice out there! We need the experts engaged more than ever. @SocietyHospMed
