Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, marking how far into 2022 Latinas work to earn what their white male coworkers earned in 2021 alone.

The widest gap reported in a decade, Latinas continue to lose $1.2M over the course of a 40-year career.

So proud to be running the 2022 NYC Marathon this year and I have decided to run with Team JDRF! I have joined JDRF because Type 1 Diabetes is personal to me. I want to contribute to raising funds to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. https://t.co/vOqw8ghvDw

I have gone to far too many medical conferences in TX, FL & LA. Can we move major medical conferences to NJ? Our state has fought hard to protect a woman’s right to choose, make insurance to children accessible, and pass gun safety laws.

And then we blame physicians at the front lines for the rising costs of health care. But you need to hire staff just to handle this nonsense.

You're baking a cake.
You go to the market for sugar.
The clerk -who's never baked before- tells you sugar is reserved for those who need it, and asks if you've tried salt, raisons, or licorice.
This conversation takes an hour.

This is what prior authorization is often like.

@MVGutierrezMD Love it! My kids have the coolest pediatrician who wears her birkenstocks year round so we can see her rainbow colored toe-nail polish 🌈. I think it’s incredibly professional that she lets her personality shine while she cares for my babies ❤️

I just joined @momsdemand & @everytown to send an urgent message demanding our U.S. Senators take bold action by passing gun safety legislation. We cannot wait for another mass shooting. Send your message now >> https://t.co/fg28GmoP5n
