Successful Day on the Hill with @TNAAPChapter advocating for kids in Tennessee! Had lots of meaningful conversations and even saw the Smart Heart Act (SB 2175), a lifesaving bill to increase AED access in schools, pass the Senate Health committee!

Tennessee #BeSMART volunteers Dr. Kelsey Gastineau and Dr. Alanna Truss just wrapped their first lunch and learn about youth firearm suicide prevention. Thanks to a grant with @TNAAPChapter, they’re spreading the message of secure firearm storage across Tennessee.

Read my latest thoughts as a pediatrician and @MomsDemand volunteer on the special session in the @Tennessean. It’s on all of us adults, including legislators, to make this world truly safer for kids.

Today I #WearOrange because guns are the leading cause of death for children in the US. We have a lot of work to do in TN to keep our children, families, and communities safer. @TNAAPChapter @AmerAcadPeds @Everytown

Members of the UTHSC Division of Trauma/Surgical Critical Care wore orange T-shirts today to honor the lives of those affected by gun violence. Last year, the Elvis Presley Trauma Center @RegOneHealthFDN, treated 1,407 people for gun shot wounds. #WearOrange @uthsc @UTHSCMedicine

I often get asked if I’m tired of the work I do with gun violence prevention. My answer: I won’t be tired until I stop taking care of kids with gun shot wounds and their long-lasting consequences. That’s why #ThisIsOurLane and why I #WearOrange

Parents were sounding the alarm about school gun violence even before the horrific shooting on March 27th.
We CAN do something about this. But it will take leaders listening to parents & pediatricians. Our op-ed out in The Tennessean today ⬇️

As pediatricians, we see the devastating & long lasting impacts of firearm injuries too often. We are proud to link arms for change with @voices4saferTN and call for gun safety legislation in Tennessee. #SaferTN #EndGunViolence
