My son, Jon Bretan, just completed the 100 mile Western State Ultra Run from Tahoe to Auburn this morning, Sunday, June 30, 2024. He accomplished this in less than 24 hours. Sooooo Proud of him. That is almost four marathons in a row.

I cannot support the San Francisco Marin Medical Society's stance in the support of Hamas, so I will be resigning!

"If you see [acts of racism], shine a light at it and speak out against it."

Dr. Tina Tan of @NUFeinbergMed, @bretanmd & @IDRoadrunner discuss addressing racism towards health care providers in the #AAPI community: https://t.co/X5ICognzLC

Physicians as healers are often on the front lines of acts of gun violence, but today they faced the threat in a space that should be devoted to peace and healing. This cannot stand - #CMADocs call for reform to end this terrible epidemic of cutting precious lives short.

[Seth Cohen @DrSCohen]

Pollution hurts health, may pose pandemic risk https://t.co/nZj3hAJuxd ain’t that the truth. @CMAdocs @CaClimateHealth @SFBayPSR @enviRN @CMA_CEO @lsanchez020 @bretanmd @DrAlethaMaybank @RheaBoydMD @cejapower @CalEndow @BuildingTradeAB #MedTwitter

This is not a new idea. The Newsom Administration is simply extending existing public health protections to cover this new disease, which has caused so much pain and suffering across our state, our nation and the entire globe over the last 18 months.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

#CMADocs strongly support Gov. Newsom’s common-sense action to protect our students, teachers & school staff. We are proud that CA continues to put public health first & urge all who are eligible to get their COVID-19 vaccines as soon as possible. https://t.co/ozSkQn3ibg

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

@Choonghagen The question is are they pet friendly?

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

It’s a time to talk – and to act – so physicians’ struggles don’t become mental health emergencies.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

On National Physician Suicide Awareness Day, we need to discuss the #mentalhealth issues that impact so many physicians, and to help everyone prevent physician suicide. Click our link to sign the petition & find resources. #NPSADay https://t.co/e5cDZqVEsJ

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

The Los Angeles Unified School District took a bold and important step toward protecting public health, and the health of students, teachers and school employees.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

Requiring student COVID vaccines is the best way to keep our schools safe & ensure that campuses remain open for in-person education. #CMADocs applaud @LASchools for their leadership & we hope that other school districts and businesses will follow suit. https://t.co/Esan9CjnSb

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

The Supreme Court set a dangerous precedent by allowing SB8 to go into effect in Texas without any Constitutional review. The law is a gross legislative overreach and subjugates the patient-physician relationship to the whims of partisan politics.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

#CMADocs support passing @RepJudyChu's Women’s Health Protection Act to ensure women get the reproductive health care they need, and that physicians and other health care providers can offer that care without fear of their personal safety or well-being. https://t.co/yP56glHkxa

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

Medical reasons/situations for a #maskexemption are exceedingly rare. We need immediate action to ensure bad actions are not putting members of the public at risk.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

#CMADocs President Dr. Peter N. @BretanMD has put out a statement on recent reports of rogue physicians selling #MaskExemptions, putting their communities in danger. https://t.co/jKPKJDs7eq

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

It’s clear that all of us have a responsibility to do more to bring this pandemic to an end, and COVID vaccines are the surest way to accomplish that.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

"Unvaccinated people put all of us at risk," said #CMADocs President Dr. Peter N. @BretanMD. "CMA fully supports vaccination requirements for all employees and physicians in health care settings." https://t.co/sW3i86yfWK

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

Ensuring all of us are vaccinated against COVID-19 sends a strong message that the safety of our patients and our colleagues is top priority. It is a duty that comes with our responsibility as people who care for others.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

NEW: CA will have the strongest state vaccine verification system in the US and will require state employees & healthcare workers to provide proof of vaccination—or get tested regularly.

We’re experiencing a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Everyone that can get vaccinated—should.

[peter bretan @bretanmd]

We will continue to do all we can to help convince all Californians that vaccines are safe, effective and critical as we come together to bring this pandemic to an end.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

We can all do more to keep each other safe. Ensuring that all health care workers are protected against COVID-19 will help put patients at ease and will help us bring this deadly pandemic to an end. https://t.co/LTxq2Mqms4
