NY based, focused on empowering and training fellow pediatricians to be successful advocates to pass meaningful child health legislation.


Today, I joined parents, advocates, & experts in Albany to advocate for continuous healthcare coverage for our youngest NYers to be included in the executive budget. My bill (S7747) w/ @votejgr aims to ensure coverage for children ages 0-6 w/o the need for yearly re-enrollment.

Just a few days left. Call the NYS Governor's office & express support for these @NYSAAPCH2 @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP -supported bills. Don't be shy. RT @eveamk @DrSaraSiddiqui1 @SteveGoldstei10 @DocEMurray @DrSteveCook @jayasreenairneo @crmartin90 @DrVSalcedo @DrWarrenSeigel



Local elections matter. Proud to support @AmerAcadPeds member, @NYSAAPCH2 officer & friend Dr. Eve Krief @eveamk in her run for Suffolk County Legislature. Want more pediatricians in office? Check out her website rb.gy/ocmol RT @NYSAAPCH3 @NY1AAP @AnnieAndrewsMD





Child poverty: two words that should never go together. Yet, child poverty in New York State exceeds the national rate, as it has for more than a decade. There are actions to take: this is the year for NY’s leaders to make things better. loom.ly/zh8s0cU #nyendchildpoverty

NEW: Arkansas has just released data on Medicaid terminations for 1st 2 months. 40% losing coverage are kids - very big 18% parents 39% expansion group A whopping 85% are procedural denials. This is exactly what we have feared.😢
