Academic General Pediatrician in Georgia. Passionate about advocating for kids and their communities. Tweets and opinions are my own.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

Today, the AAP reaffirms our support for adolescents to receive comprehensive, evidence-based reproductive healthcare services, including abortion, within two new updated policy statements. 1/2

The best way to start my Saturday.

AGP Faculty volunteering @HoustonFoodBank! We had a blast! @bcmhouston @SGFontin

[Abby D. Phillip @abbydphillip]

Today feels like a heavy day. Take care of yourselves and each other.

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

@OviniMD @babbymd I like so many age groups. But especially this age when they stop crying that I’ve glanced their way 😆 aka mostly past 2 yo

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

@christianah_med @BCM_Pediatrics @UChiPritzker Congrats & welcome!!

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

Yes! The work continues...

[Boundless Immigration @chooseboundless]

Fantastic news for immigrants everywhere! 🎉 Public Charge is no more. Various states and advocacy groups have fought the 2018 rule for years, arguing it was unconstitutional. USCIS will release more guidance in the days to come. Stay tuned.

@AnnYoungMD I’m pretty sure, “will I find ___ in your ear?” was one of the most valuable tricks I learned before peds residency.

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

I know I’ve gotten too comfortable in online classes when I walk my dog, while logged in to the Webex app, hoping that my dog pulling on the leash after birds doesn’t cause me to unmute myself. 🤷🏾‍♀️ (don’t worry I paid attention after we got inside).

[Ana C. Monterrey, MD MPH @acmonterMD]

Deeply disappointed and angry at @GregAbbott_TX and TX leadership. Listen to the scientists/doctors/public health officials whose priority is to keep our citizens and communities healthy. Don't listen to selfish politicians. #COVID is far from over. #MaskUpTexas😷

[Texas Pediatric Society @TXPeds]

We’re not done yet! Keep children safe and healthy. Wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance when possible. This works! Do your part to reduce COVID-19 infections.

[Mental Health America of Greater Houston @MHAHouston]

5 yr olds in Houston have already survived #Harvey, #COVID19 and now the #TexasFreeze

Such compounded trauma in kids presents itself in many ways - distracted learning, oversized stress responses, discipline problems and even self harm.

Talk to your kids.

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

No accountability ... this is not how you “apologize” to the people in your state who are suffering. (he didn’t actually apologize because it’s unfortunate how we perceive his actions).

Even as the lights come back on, we’re facing a food and water crisis in Harris County, Texas.

@Dr_Michael_PJ Reminds me of getting BK after losing power from a hurricane in FL with my family. BK never tasted sooo good

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

As an academic gen peds fellow, I love clinic days, seeing patients & working with amazing residents like @Dr_Michael_PJ but also love that clinic is 10 mins away from my local poke spot where I have become friends with the owner 😆.

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

😍😍

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

I’ve read an article, scrolled through tweets & watched videos yet WS/GameStop talk is still mainly over my head. Is this what it sounds like when we the science community “explain” complicated topics ... because I’m beginning to see where we went wrong w/ this whole Covid thing.

TPS Mourns the Death of Austin Pediatrician Dr. Lindley Dodson

[Stephanie Fontin, MD @SGFontin]

@ZachFoughty Same! I love when they give me the look like “that’s my mom duh.” When I make them introduce everyone in the room 😆

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us.

They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.
