We were thrilled to support the AJ Anderson Foundation Rare Disease Symposium organized by Brianne and @AdamAndersonFL! We linked our genetic counselors, pharmacists, pediatricians and more to a global network all joined in the fight to cure rare diseases.
Throughout May BayCare hospitals have been lit green for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. As West Central Florida’s largest behavioral health provider, we’re committed to doing our part to reduce stigma and expanding access to compassionate mental health care. https://t.co/Rm25M0Tlw7
Sadly true. So what now?
1) Stick with the Great American State Fair concept. Make it a sprawling display of the local economies and cultures of each of the 50 states.
2) De-celebritize the events. Don't try to book stars. Republicans have always lost at that game, and doubly so with Trump. At the moment, show business appears to be largely made up of a) entertainers and businessmen who hate Trump, and b) entertainers and businessmen who are scared of being accused of not hating Trump. Why waste time with them?
3) Make music a big part of the events by showcasing U.S. military bands. There are a lot of military bands and orchestras, and they are very, very good.
4) Make the 4th of July a traditional 4th of July, with the exception of a turbocharged America 250 fireworks show.
5) No starring role for Trump. He'll be the President of the United States watching over the events with pride.
6) If anyone calls it hokey, fine. Old-fashioned hokey patriotism is good.
We’re pleased to share BayCare reached a new agreement with United Healthcare to protect your in-network access to the BayCare physicians, facilities & services you know and trust. Dr. Valdivia-Valdivia shares what this means to our ongoing commitment to West Central Florida.
We welcomed U.S. @SenRickScott, Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, to St. Joseph’s Hospital for a community roundtable on how domestic manufacturing can improve patient care & strengthen supply chain reliability. We’re proud to lead in advocacy that improves care.
One of the bills I signed today allows school boosters to raise money to enhance compensation for coaches.
We can’t keep letting coaches from neighboring states like @3YearLetterman get windfalls while our FL coaches get paltry compensation.
The thing about watching the West Wing today isn’t that it’s aged poorly (it hasn’t).
It’s that it takes you back to a time when many still believed that public service could be a noble calling.
An entire generation has now grown up without that feeling.
Senator and Mrs. Hooper have been such a huge part of our Senate family for the last 8 years.
We cherish the time we've had with them and wish the Hoopers every happiness (many cruises and lots of golf) in retirement. ❤️⛳️🚢

I will never forgive HBO/BBC for cancelling this prematurely and rushing the final episodes to wrap it up. They built these amazing sets which they could have used for 10 more seasons and then just scrapped them. And it’s not like they lacked for storylines.
