Even as we discover more effective treatments, we fail to deliver them to those most in need. What if AI could help change that?

Dr. @davechokshi and I both got the updated #COVID19 and flu vaccines! Everyone 6 months, and older should get vaccinated—especially those 65+, babies 6 to 23 months, pregnant people, and those with underlying health conditions: https://t.co/ehPVYrUTrY

A message from former NYC Health Commissioner @davechokshi and @NYCHealthCommr Dr. Michelle Morse ⬇️

[Dave A. Chokshi, MD @davechokshi]

Changes in federal vaccine guidance are creating confusion about who can get seasonal vaccines and how. To best serve our patients, the rest of our nation’s health system needs to step up and clear the air.

When we talk about Medicaid, we often focus on the numbers: the dollars and cents, statistics and spreadsheets. But as a doctor, I've seen that Medicaid’s story is my patients’ stories. That’s why I’m deeply concerned about the looming cuts to Medicaid.

Thanks to former Commissioners @davechokshi & @DrOBarbot for their advocacy on public health investment. Restoring cuts to Article 6 funding will help support critical funding for vaccinations, STI and HIV testing and treatment & other essential services. https://t.co/UfaDa2Iz6M

In the second to last episode of #HouseCallswithVivekMurthy, my dear friends Dave and Sunny make a house call for me. Reflecting on my time in office, I share my last act as Surgeon General: A Parting Prescription for America. https://t.co/WwFvw8dUX3

In 2024, our Common Health Coalition grew from 5 founding members to ~100 organizations across the U.S. This year, we will build on that momentum through a new Common Health Challenge focused on community health workers—and by pursuing members in all 50 states and tribal nations.

[Nwando Olayiwola @DrNwando]

“If the pandemic were an earthquake, we must examine the tectonic plates underneath it- poverty, racism, tribalism, polarization…” - wise words by my friend and colleague @davechokshi. Powerful opening to the @HealthPolicyOH first annual summit!

"Children in NYS are more likely to live in poverty than children in 40 other states. Yet continuing with the status quo is a choice that our elected leaders make — every day, every budget year, every legislative session." - @davechokshi & Dr. Mary Bassett

You may not know that New York ranks in the bottom 10 states with its high rate of child poverty.
@DrMaryTBassett and I make the case for a different policy choice by the Governor and Legislature.

New York should be leading—not lagging—on child poverty. https://t.co/XnmVJhrmNr

After a decade of homelessness, Ralph transitioned back indoors with help from his caseworker Nikki and the compassion of a larger community. Fremont is choosing compassion over criminalization.
