“Masks remain an important component of the layered protection needed to prevent transmission of Covid among children inside schools…Now is not the time to let our guard down.”@DocEMurray@drfixus@greenhousemd@PensivePedsMD@SuffolkCoHealth
Holding parents accountable for providing unsecured loaded weapons to a minor shouldn’t be controversial. This is no different than holding parents accountable for a number of other safety related issues. https://t.co/2esiUXfona
The overdose crisis is a trauma crisis for the living. So much loss and so much pain. People will struggle with that for the rest of their lives. 💔💔#TRAUMA#EndOverdose#harmreduction
We don't just listen to our kids' voices; we lift them up at @Cohen_Childrens, New York's #1-ranked children's hospital. Learn more about our unique approach to care, including the Cohen Children’s Bill of Rights https://t.co/H6wWh67FtR #RaiseHealth
Looking forward to speaking on gun violence prevention at the @modrnhealthcr leadership symposium - hospital leadership buy in is critical in healthcare industry efforts to move the needle forward on this public health crisis
Hospitalizations for children soar. Pediatric hospital admissions were nearly four times as high in states with the lowest #vaccination rates as in those with the highest rates - see @nytimes story https://t.co/2kEj7aXKrt
This virus is mutating. As vaccination levels flatline at 50% or lower in some communities, the virus continues to find hosts and mutate. And the next variant could be the one that makes our children sicker or more resistant to vaccines. #keepkidssafe https://t.co/r3yhmuS7pL
Make school openings safe, start with families vaccinating those eligible, follow guidelines such as wearing masks in school, washing our hands, maintaining social distance. Proven measures to slow the spread of the virus — yes, even delta. #keepkidssafe https://t.co/r3yhmuS7pL
