Today, @RepPressley read aloud to patients in support of our @RORNortheast site.
Reach Out and Read enables providers to share advice with families and discuss the importance of making reading a daily habit for their children.
Thank you @RepPressley for your continuous support.

One of the beautiful things about having my family at my med school graduation is that now my nephew knows that a doctor can have brown skin, speak Spanish at home, and come from a family that celebrates Christmas with tamales 🫔
Happy #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay 🙌🏽

Just need to give a shout out to .@DanaBashCNN for naming the discussion of newly arrived immigrants and pets is racist. Thank you! @CNN #debate #nameit

NEW BRIEF: LOST HOME, LOST BENEFIT
Our new brief discusses benefit disruptions as a result of cost driven moves. The findings show we must work to ensure kids at risk of cost-driven moves retain their benefits, including #WIC, #SNAP, and #Medicaid.

During week 1 of residency, I heard a "psst!" as my team & I were leaving a patient's room. I turned around.
With a thumbs-up, the older woman we had just seen whispered to me, "You're doing great!"
I couldn't help but smile 🙂
PSA to my young docs: you too are doing great.
