We proposed standards for hospital-based #bereavementcare to help families feel less abandoned, identify those in need of support, and reduce inequities. But standards are meaningless if not implemented. And for that, hospitals' need dedicated #grief and #bereavement resources.🧵

Hate has NO place in PA!

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

This evening, I vetoed House Bill 972 — legislation passed through the Republican-led General Assembly to bully and oppress transgender youth.

Hate has no place in Pennsylvania.

These members should be ashamed of themselves for proposing and voting on discriminatory policies.

It’s a dark day for reproductive rights in America.

But I want every Pennsylvanian to know abortion services are available and unharmed by today’s ruling.

To women and pregnant people in surrounding states and across the country where this isn’t the case: You are safe here.
