Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 24, 2024, we will welcome my good friend, Dr. Darshan Mehta, as our guest for the Member Mixer with President Dr. Beth Frates. This is our third Member Mixer together. We will have polls and waterfalls as well as time for question and answer. Dr. Mehta will lead us all in meditation and also share his journey with stress management, including the Relaxation Response with Dr. Herb Benson.

We have had over 600 people register. Please do not miss out on this fun event and opportunity to connect with your fellow members of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

If you are not a member, now is a great time to join. Go to @ACLifeMed for more information.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Wastewater testing has been "one of the must useful early indicators of where we’ve been headed," said @j_g_allen. "I don’t think we should ignore that the wastewater data are telling us that the amount of virus circulating in Massachusetts is definitely increasing."

"The physicians of the MMS, in consultation with the organization’s COVID-19 Advisory Group, strongly recommend that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask in indoor public settings." -@MMS_President @drcarolea

"The MMS is committed to health care as a basic human right; racism in all its forms interferes with that right and leads to unacceptable and disproportionately poorer outcomes and premature death for members of the Black and Brown communities," said @MMS_President @drcarolea.

[Lorraine Schratz MD (she/her) @drlms]

Yes! As a pediatric cardiologist, I wholeheartedly agree!

"Although instances of heart inflammation are incredibly rare... the issue warranted and received rigorous scientific study," the Presidents of the MMS and @MassChapterAAP said. "The risk to the heart from COVID-19 infection itself is far greater." https://t.co/1V2COOT4eB

[Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) @MassMedical]

"After review of the latest information available, it was clear that the benefits of vaccination in this age group far outweigh the small risk of this very rare side effect." -@MMS_President @drcarolea & @MassChapterAAP President Dr. Lloyd Fisher

@marcorubio Sen. Rubio, it is well documented that race & ethnicity correlate with poor health outcomes. This includes those who share your ethnic background! As physicians, we are obligated to work for better health for all. I am saddened by your response to the AMA.
