.@dr_shaps with @AltaMedHealthS presenting before the House on the dire need addressing the physician shortage. Physician workforce should reflect CA’s diverse population & must be culturally & linguistically competent. CA must be bold w/ proposed solutions.

[Dennis Cuevas-Romero @dcr_25]

On behalf of @CPCA spending the weekend @CMAdocs House of Delegates with the newly established Community Health Center forum. The new forum for CHC physicians will collectively harness their voices and power to better health outcomes for their patients.

Abortion and reproductive health services are essential health care that should be accessible to all. Proposition 1 furthers the mission of health centers to provide accessible, affordable, comprehensive, and quality healthcare to everyone who walks through our doors.#yesonProp1

CA physicians are calling for coroners to be independent of law enforcement. #AB1608 is a critical step in ensuring medical & civil integrity in our criminal legal system.

Teens should be able to protect their own health — even if their parents are anti-vaxxers or if the kids are neglected or abused. That’s why we’re pursuing legislation (SB 866) to let teens get vaccinated on their own. Thx @latimes for supporting the bill. https://t.co/09j6KsqhwX

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

CMA applauds the quick formation of this select committee Sen @Scott_Wiener's leadership on this immediate & evolving issue. We also appreciate the Administration’s swift action proclaiming a state of emergency to support the state’s response to #monkeypox.

[Physicians for a Healthy California @PHCDocs]

Big news! @DHCS_CA will fund $64.9 million in student loans for 222 physicians & 35 dentists through #CalHealthCares. This round of funding focused on equity, incl languages spoken, experience treating underserved communities & ability to provide culturally competent care.

"Even in the face of public opposition, we uphold the right of individuals—yes, including women—to make their own choices and chart their own futures. Or at least, we did once."

[Dennis Cuevas-Romero @dcr_25]

From the dissenting opinion: "So one of two things must be true. Either the majority does not really believe in its own reasoning. Or if it does, all rights that have no history stretching back to the mid19th century are insecure.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The Supreme Court's decision allowing states to ban abortion immediately stirred alarm among LGBTQ advocates, who fear the ruling could someday allow a rollback of legal protections for gay relationships, including the right for same-sex couples to marry. https://t.co/RuxLiPXs2D

[Dennis Cuevas-Romero @dcr_25]

Either the mass of the majority’s opinion is hypocrisy, or additional constitutional rights are under threat. It is one or the other."

IT'S DEFINITELY THE OTHER. THEY'RE NOT STOPPING HERE.

Continue organizing and fighting!

[Physicians for a Healthy California @PHCDocs]

The hope is that #AB2132 could provide a new model that both increases the diversity of the physician workforce & addresses health care worker shortages throughout the country, said #PHCDocs CEO Lupe Alonzo-Diaz. https://t.co/VXObzbSGsF

[ACLU California Action @ACLU_CalAction]

Families who have lost their loved ones in officer-involved incidents deserve unbiased cause-of-death investigations.

Pass #AB1608 to make the offices of sheriff and coroner separate in CA, @AsmAguiarCurry.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

CMA applauds effort by @AsmMikeGipson & @AsmAkilahWeber to provide more accountability & transparency to avoid clear conflicts of interest between county sheriff & coroner. In 2018, CMA cosponsored similar legislation w/@DrPanMD. We look forward to seeing #AB1608 move forward.

@UncleSego When you coming back to the Greek Theater in Berkeley?

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

DADS ON DUTY: After a violent week of fighting at a Louisiana high school, parents knew something had to change. So, a group of dads decided to show up not just for their kids - but for the whole student body - to help maintain a positive environment. @SteveHartmanCBS has more.

[Wendy Carrillo @AsmCarrillo]

Domestic abuse survivor, Gabby Solano, was supposed to go home to her family.

Instead, she was put in ICE detention.

We need to #StopICEtransfers & end double punishment in CA like IL, OR & DC have already done.

We need to pass the #VisionAct #AB937.
