Bringing HER to #PedsICU at @LuriePICU advised by the greatest crew but didn’t want to post their names without permission.

@Erin_pedsMD Thanks :) Which program is this?

[Vanessa Ford, MD @VForPeds]

Hi #PedsICU ! Does your fellowship program use night float or 24hr call?

Dear @united,
Will you be showing World Cup matches live on your flights?

@LaurenMerzMD I brought it with me on vacation to see how I feel! I cried in undergrad when I read it. But I bet I’ll feel similarly to you now

[Vanessa Ford, MD @VForPeds]

Early this week, I shared the statistics of #GunViolence in 2022 @childrensatl. What happened after the ED? #WearOrange is tomorrow! Let’s protect our children. #DoctorsForGunSafety @EmoryPediatrics

[Vanessa Ford, MD @VForPeds]

Recent events bring gun violence to the forefront of our brains, but it’s a chronic issue. Let’s look at “gunshot wound” as the chief complaint in @childrensatl EDs. 54 encounters since January 1st! #WearOrange this Friday! #DoctorsForGunSafety

[Vanessa Ford, MD @VForPeds]

We see a lot of injuries due to guns at @childrensatl. https://t.co/Q8jiCaDp8A happening this Friday! Hoping all my @EmoryPediatrics friends and colleagues will participate to stand against gun violence and promote legislative change.

@BlankFoundation @FayDTwersky @jfunders 2/ Mr. Blank and this foundation does so much, including the generous donation to the new children’s hospital! If part of that donation was used to build a transgender health center, a huge need would be filled in our state.

[Vanessa Ford, MD @VForPeds]

@BlankFoundation @FayDTwersky @jfunders 1/ I love to see passion for LGBTQ+ rights! Coincidentally, yesterday, I was practicing an advocacy exercise, a 30 second elevator speech. If I was in an elevator with you, I would bring up how transgender youth healthcare is minimal in the Atlanta healthcare system.

As the US prepares for booster vaccinations, I feel torn. A large global vaccination inequity already exists. I spent this morning looking for where to donate to and want to share and encourage everyone else. $5 gives a vaccine. https://t.co/GS3uNl4bN1 #COVID19 #vaccination

It is Day 2 of our food waste challenge. Now that your fridge is clean, it’s time to stock it well!

Tip: add how many meals you’ll need each item when shopping.

Ex: salad greens - 2 lunches
