Hep B has touched so many Asian American, Pacific Islander, Black & immigrant families—including my own community. Our children ARE American children, and deserve protection. The birth dose cut infections by 99%. @CDCgov #ACIP—please keep Hep B Vaccines universal.

I’m Dr. Jasmeet Bains — a family and addiction doctor, daughter of immigrants, and the first Sikh American elected to the California Legislature. Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for Congress in California’s 22nd district.

"Let's just say that they do something that's so Alaska-specific just to, quote, 'get me.' Then you have a nationwide system that doesn't work. That then comes crashing down and Alaska's not able to kind of keep it together on its own."

@ChrisMurphyCT Would love your help in amplifying a physicians national grassroots action happening Monday, June 30 at 12:30pm called Code Red: A National Pause to Save Medicaid. We're asking healthcare workers to step out and make a public stand! Find out more at https://t.co/P4nWWMgmFf

Today #AB977, to protect emergency dept. health care workers from violence, passed out of committee and continued its path to the Governor's desk! Special thanks to author Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez and #CMADocs #ER physician Dr. @AnnaYap!

[Dr. Anna Yap 🏳️‍🌈 @annayap]

Thank you so much @RepBera and your staff for all you do, fighting for physicians and for our patients! I couldn't ask for a better representative, and I'm so glad to have moved to your district! Truly an inspiring physician leader 😊 #LAC2024 @ACEPNow

In my story out today, one person I'm most struck by is @DrPanMD who struggled to get leadership positions at his medical school but was repeatedly elected to state office. "When the people vote, I get elected. When it’s a club, I don’t get selected." https://t.co/8Dc5qIUB3O

So proud of the work we did this week at the AMA to continue to diversify our medical workforce to serve our patients better. ❤️

[AMA @AmerMedicalAssn]

With affirmative action imperiled by a pending Supreme Court case, #OurAMA reinforces its support for a diverse physician workforce that resembles the nation. https://t.co/Z7WzVLWVaW

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that at least 18 people were murdered in California in the past two days. Even more horrifying is how commonplace this level of violence has become.

And that's a wrap on my first #StateAdvocacySummit by @AmerMedicalAssn! Super cool to learn from so many unique policy experts and I'm coming out even more inspired. Also thanks to @cmadocs for funding a resident to come and investing in our future of organized medicine.

[Dr. Anna Yap 🏳️‍🌈 @annayap]

Data drives policy. The Hattiesburg clinic analyzed their ACO data and found APPs were more costly to the system, had their patients end up in the ER more, had increased referrals, and increased tests to patients. we work better with a physician led team. https://t.co/LMlBkr3kQ9
