Proud to be from #California! In the fall ALL CHILDREN will be able to eat #freelunch at public schools. Great step to decrease #stigma for who qualifies, reduce childhood hunger, and budget allows for increased food quality as well 👏🏼 https://t.co/mScYmiWxs6

Visit https://t.co/2cikfwnOod and click on "Support the Strengthening the #VaccinesforChildren Program Act" to help urge your state to take action. I contacted #California’s @JackieSpeier. Takes less than 5 minutes!

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Today over 700 #AAPAdvocacy2021 attendees are urging members of congress to strengthen the vaccines for children program! Good luck with your virtual meetings!

What a great step towards #womenshealth! @SenFeinstein and @AlexPadilla4CA, when will California make this needed change?

Eye opening @NEJM research showing "Black patients had nearly three times the frequency of occult hypoxemia that was not detected by pulse oximetry as White patients." A good reminder to focus on treating the patient and not the numbers #racialbias
