Yesterday my son & I joined the @vdhgov family for #TakeYourChildToWorkDay. They saw public health up close & finished on the Capitol steps with Gov. @abigailspanberger & other state agency families. There's something powerful about letting our kids see public service in action.

Last week, Virginia experienced unusually high temperatures. 🥵 We tracked higher than usual heat-related illness emergency visits and EMS calls. Next time we see temperatures on the rise, remember to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
