Please share! 🙌🏽 Grateful for the opportunity to present today to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee meeting on “What Can Congress Do to Address the Severe Shortage of Minority Health Care Professionals and the Maternal Health Crisis?” Also grateful to be able to represent Latinos and many of us in this movement for the long haul for our patients. #nationallatinophysicianday #latinomedicine #latinoexcellence

As much as patients are increasingly turning to AI to interpret reports and understand treatment options, the physician role is the same: they’ll always need doctors and nurses to guide them in making the best decision, support them, and hold their hands 🤍 #AIinMedicine

Trump administration policy changes are putting a growing number of immigrant physicians in limbo, doctors who often staff rural and underserved hospitals. Eye-opening piece by @StanfordCIGH Global Health Media Fellow @MichalRuprecht. michalruprecht.com/pages/clips/10…

Surgeons sponsored for H-1B visas represent a small fraction of the US workforce but are overrepresented in rural and high-poverty counties, where surgical shortages are most pronounced. ja.ma/4cxRMtt

About 8 in 10 Americans who re-enrolled in Affordable Care Act marketplace coverage say their health care costs are higher this year, including about half who say their costs are "a lot" higher, according to a survey from the health care research nonprofit KFF. to.pbs.org/47HpDOI

During Holy Week, we remember: love is stronger than fear. Thank you to Wesley UMC for inviting me to worship with you. Happy Easter!

Zohran Mamdani Praising Jesus. Donald Trump Praising Allah. Easter 2026.

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

Hundreds of rural hospitals across the country are facing closures after years of funding problems. The issue was compounded last summer by the Trump administration's massive cuts to Medicaid whose reimbursements have long helped hospitals meet their bottom lines. to.pbs.org/4bZQ7fO

As many as 10 million people could lose Medicaid coverage in 2028 after new work requirements established under H.R. 1, a new study shows. Caregivers, students, self-employed, people w/irregular schedules and 50+ are at a particularly high risk. fiercehealthcare.com/regulatory/rwj…

A medical education program at UC Merced is creating a pathway for Central California students who want to pursue careers in healthcare. abc30.tv/gg46xD

Gupta: Medicare and Medicaid are federal programs, largely run by the federal government. And he is now saying that these are the responsibilities of the states. That is a significant—significant—statement. It means that purple and red states are likely going to struggle a lot more to provide basic healthcare to their Medicare and Medicaid recipients than blue states, which tend to be richer and, frankly, far more resourced

The visa pause is forcing physicians who’ve lived in the U.S. for years to stop working and exacerbating staffing shortages that are a longstanding headache for hospital administrators. politico.com/news/2026/04/0…

Mr. President: I have a better idea. Instead of spending over a trillion dollars on never-ending wars abroad while plunging the working class into poverty here at home, let’s invest in universal childcare, Medicare for All and affordable housing. America first!

Hospital costs are rising far faster than inflation and drowning Americans in debt. nbcnews.com/investigations…

#AI scribe adoption across 5 academic centers was associated with modest reductions in EHR and documentation time, plus a slight increase in weekly visit volume, especially for primary care and female clinicians. ja.ma/3NzDzUo

If we want to improve education in this country- we should teach students how to think like scientists.

Healthy eating has always been about reducing intake of heavily processed foods (donuts) and embracing a plant-based diet Thankful to ⁦@American_Heart for issuing common sense guidelines today that emphasize a balanced plate which minimizes saturated fats ⁦@AnaCabrera⁩

Happy #NationalDoctorsDay! 💙 From educating future physicians to advancing biomedical research, strengthening community collaborations, and delivering exceptional clinical care — doctors make a difference every day. Thank you for all that you do.

Applications are live! Calling med students and residents… and all seniors on my timeline, please share with your students! @AmerAcadPeds aap.org/en/get-involve…

Former U.S. surgeon general Dr. Jerome Adams disapproves of the Trump administration’s Surgeon General Casey Means’ assessment on the measles vaccines, saying “this isn’t personal or political … it's about her not having the basic qualifications to do the job.” “She does not have an active medical license and would be the first surgeon general ever to be in the role to not have an active medical license,” he says. “But beyond that, to the point you brought up, in the midst of a massive measles outbreak, America needs a surgeon general who can clearly stand behind vaccines.”
