“We mourn the loss and celebrate the life and many contributions of first lady Rosalynn Carter, whose work to promote vaccinations and mental health care improved the health, safety and well-being of all children." - @AmerAcadPeds President Dr. Sandy L. Chung

At the @AmerAcadPeds White Coat Rally, I discussed my work in Congress to support our kids - expanding healthcare access, tackling the gun violence epidemic, supporting kids' mental health - and thanked pediatricians for their dedication to children's health and wellbeing.
