@SouthwestAir even as the cost of flights went up and flight options went down you remained my best option. I don’t have a reason to stay. You’ve lost your loyal customer base. I can pay for a better seat on a rival airline. You don’t even have first class! Bad move. #SouthWorst
@RepBice I have been to your office several times in the last few years to discuss maternity care in OK. 53% of births in OK are Medicaid. Maternity care deserts in a majority of our counties. Maternal mortality up. And you vote to cut $880 billion from Medicaid/Medicare. Disappointing.
“Scientific data is not political and must not be treated as such. Cloaking of information damages health care decisions and stifles future innovations and medical developments, leading to long-term consequences for our patients.”

It was a cold day but worth it!! Tell Congress to act now!! Stop Medicare payment cuts, reauthorize the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act and THCGME funding!!

Today, ACOG members are on Capitol Hill advocating to combat high maternal mortality rates, bolster the primary care workforce, and fix Medicare payments. Join them in making your voice heard: https://t.co/PED6sebXHf #ObGynsInAction#FixMedicareNow
Tired of being the perpetual ally and NEVER getting the same in return. I’m not comforting anyone. I’m not wiping anyone’s tears. I don’t want to see any blue bracelets or pussy hats. It’s performative. Do the work. Protecting my peace moving forward. Let it burn to the studs.
You know what's getting old? Having you and your father politicize gun violence. Unlike your children that you are using for this purpose, my daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting. I remember when your dad also politicized her murder. How about instead of your BS, use this as your chance to call for less gun violence.
In June I spoke at the US Capitol with @RepMaxwellFrost, @RepBarbaraLee, @JosephSakran about gun violence. Families have to go home without their children tonight. I pray for their peace. I hope that peace comes with change. When will the mounting bodies of children be enough?
Angela Hawkins, MD, FACOG, joined @RepBarbaraLee and @RepMaxwellFrost to support @Surgeon_General’s gun violence advisory and stress the need to invest in research and strategies to avoid gun-related injuries and deaths. ACOG’s statement on the advisory: https://t.co/gBaVZrYmIu
Spent the day at The White House. I wish the physicians who are fighting this fight every day had been given more of a chance to tell @VP our stories. It was a great discussion, @AmandaZurawski is so brave. @chrissyteigen is using her platform to raise awareness.

So excited to spend 2 weeks in Washington DC as the ACOG McCain Fellow. I am ready to dive into policy and issues that affect healthcare outcomes, reimbursement, health disparities, maternal mortality and rural healthcare deserts. #maternalmortality#ACOG#beadifferencemaker
Obstetricians are fleeing red state abortion bans. Patients & doctors are suffering. I went to Idaho to profile a family practice doctor left behind. Honored that she shared her story. I'm gifting it here: https://t.co/VwoEtAz32G
