Backorder of multiple dosages of #Hydroxyurea 🤦🏽‍♀️ Still dealing with #Penicillin shortage in #Indiana😖 Using term “backorder” instead of “shortage” prevents action by @US_FDA to make manufacturers fix the problem. 😡 People w/ #sicklecelldisease deserve better from all of us.

Sharing again. Cannot believe that we allow this to continue to happen to our children. Our government officials continue to fail us, and unfortunately, one party in particular. – at Upper St Clair, PA

It will be critically important that pediatric voices are at the table when changes to the hospice benefit are discussed. The current model of hospice care does not fit children at all.#pedpc #hapc @NHPCO_news @CoalitionHPC @PedsPCTF @AAHPM
