Virtually every significant health organization in the state — starting with CMA and the state chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics — opposes the devastatingly costly rules that Prop 44 would impose on California's community health clinics. @NOProp44

What if one of the most valuable tools in cancer care is also one of the most misunderstood?

Modern #radiationtherapy is safer, more precise, and more versatile than ever—but misconceptions and access barriers still keep too many #patients from benefiting.

Honored to join @sandraturner49 in @ACRBulletin exploring why we need to do a better job communicating the value of radiation therapy.

What do you think is the biggest #misconception about radiation therapy today?

As #AI and #digitalhealth tools become integrated into #medicine, some of the most important diagnostic tools require no software, algorithm, or screen.

The #physicalexam remains a cornerstone of #patientcare. The PE builds trust and uncovers nuances that no AI model or #digitalplatform can do. Technology cannot replace the human connection, judgment, and bedside skills that define the practice of #medicine.

My latest @doximity #OpMed article explores why the physical exam still matters—and why preserving these skills is essential as #healthcare continues to evolve.

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

At #CMAHOD @CMA_CEO Dustin Corcoran. He tells delegates CMA is at its best when we dare to do something big – like Prop 35. "With Prop 35, we will give 15M Californians the dignity to get the care they need, when they need it - fundamentally changing health care for the better."

[CalRad Society @CalRadSociety]

We can't thank Penny E. Figas enough for her 45 years of service to the @hdncms!!

She's been a mom to #physicians young and old, connecting hospital systems, medical societies, @CMAdocs, #HumboldtCounty leadership, @humboldtcalpoly--a true advocate. Your retirement is well deserved, but you will be very missed!
