So pleased to have attended the #TrinityHealthofNewEngland #MakingMiracles gala tonight with my wonderful wife. Proceeds benefited THoNE's maternal and infant services.
People who get their #HealthInsurance through the state marketplaces and live in #red states:

Please let your federal representatives know exactly how much your premiums are going up due to the expiring subsidies.

You could post a before & after screenshot. Please help defend your care access.

The literal and figurative fallout from testing all those decades ago is still being felt in the health challenges of communities across the US.

Among people directly exposed *and* their descendants.

Do we want to do this to at least 2 more generations?

Excited to be learning at the #Connecticut @aafp.org chapter scientific symposium today and tomorrow!

Please stop by my table during the networking lunch to learn more about jobs at Collins Medical Associates, a physician-owned physician-forward group in #Hartford County

Ebola is one of the nasty viruses that can hide in the body even after a patient recovers and tests negative. It can reemerge and trigger a new outbreak years later. How do they survive? And how can they be kayoed?

To help a loved one with cancer, think about what you're good at — and what they need. Are you organized? Plan their meals. Detail-oriented? Go with them to appointments. Survivors share ideas.

@hyundaiusa.com, can you give the 2026/2027 #Ioniq 6 better color choices?

"Transmission blue" blends into the middle of the black, grey, silver, and white basics. The gold is tacky, and the only real color with pizzaz is the red.

Please bring in the green, teal, or blue you have for Ioniq 5 & 9.
There are more sources of #health information than ever, but the public is perhaps the worst that it has ever been when it comes to sifting truth from fiction.

Especially with changes to #StudentLoans policy, home-growing rural trusted voices will get harder.

Physicians are teachers in peril.

Conspiracy theories about health fill a vacuum created by the lack of doctors in many rural communities. Meanwhile, doctors in these areas say patients have become increasingly distrustful and sometimes hostile. n.pr/4nRqsdT
In rural America, scarce doctors battle misinformation as they practice medicine

Thank you for not engaging in the wall of poor accountability being put between the American people and the current administration.

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

#AI, EVs, heat pumps, AC, and so many other devices surround us.

Now is not the time to pull funding/subsidies from cheapest-to-start, easiest-to-maintain #greenenergy projects.

#Coal / #oil country needs to be at the forefront of this conversion of jobs, not obstructing economically sound policy.

I have attended just two #AAFPFMX talks so far and have ~8 practice refinements already. Such a great experience.

Nobody wants to pay for #healthcare. The #shutdown fight really centers around:

Should individuals pay much higher premiums when #OpenEnrollment starts next month? (and if they can't, go without insurance or downgrade plans)

or

Should our collective taxes help more broadly to keep people insured?
There is so much parental demand for this vaccine in my office. We check the VFC ordering site every day and... nothing.
Neither RFK Jr. nor his deputy — who is also acting CDC director — have signed off yet on ACIP recommendations, leaving states unable to order updated Covid shots for the Vaccines for Children program, which serves low-income families.

Low-income children lack access to Covid vaccines because of approval delay
Two weeks after vaccine advisers approved new Covid recs, Kennedy still hasn’t given his approval, leaving states unable to order updated shots for low-income kids.
