The firings from the CDC and FDA are devastating. Just looking at how they gutted the medical device review part of the FDA. We already have an issue with medical devices not being appropriately scrutinized. Will we be able to trust any new devices going forward?

Medicare stops access to #Telehealth April 1st for almost all. [Even rural pts must drive to a 🏥 office 1st & THEN get telehealth.]

This will lead to:
1️⃣ less access to specialty care
2️⃣ poorer outcomes
3️⃣ higher costs for people with cancer

#Telemedicine was a step forward. Let's not fall back.

Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD FASCO @fumikochino.bsky.social · Nov 13

#Telehealth allows me to see patients on THEIR schedule. I've had consults from patient couches, home offices, from the alleyway outside their retail jobs, & from their cars during lunch break. I am for any tool which enables you to live on your time (not mine). #ASCOAdvocacy

Urge Congress to extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities beyond 2024 by passing the CONNECT for Health Act or the Telehealth Modernization Act.

Climate change and pollution affect us all, but children are uniquely vulnerable.

Failing to protect our environment causes increased asthma, hypertension, and cancer and will likely shorten the lifespans of our kids.
