Honored to be appointed the 45th Commissioner of Health for New York City under Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.
As a kid from Jackson Heights, nothing means more to me than coming home to serve the city I was born in.

We were honored to have Dr. Woodie Kessel speak on behalf of Doctors for America, joined by several of our members standing with Senator Sanders.
The message is clear: vaccines work, they save lives, and they must not be undermined. Children’s health cannot be put at risk by RFK Jr. or anyone else.

Today, I was joined by organizations representing 100,000 doctors & medical experts.
They know — I know — that vaccines work, and have saved millions of lives.
We cannot allow Sec. Kennedy or anyone else to undermine faith in science and put the health of our children at risk.

On Medicare & Medicaid’s 60th anniversary, they’re under attack. The OBBBA slashes $1 TRILLION from Medicaid, millions could lose coverage and 1+ million low-income Medicare enrollees could face higher costs.
We can’t let 60 years of progress be erased.

Deeply disappointed in South Dakota’s Congressional delegation for caving to party pressure and backing OBBBA—at the expense of their own constituents’ health and livelihoods.
We won’t forget this vote.
Whether you run for governor or city council—we’ll remember.
And unlike you, I keep my promises.

On 5/13, the House E&C Committee will be exacting Medicaid cuts. Ironically, the plan that will harm so many families, children, seniors and caregivers was released on Mother's Day! How does that make America healthy again? Please call your Members of Congress (202) 224-3121. #PatientsOverPolitics
Action Needed: Millions rely on Medicaid—cuts are not an option. Use this link to send a message to your reps and governor. Tell them: Protect Medicaid NOW.

@mashagessen.bsky.social Thank you for your courage in sharing this crucial message. Not only should we not obey in advance, we need to peacefully mobilize recruiting a DIVERSE group of people so the other side knows, this is NOT acceptable!

So proud of our DFA Advocates for "showing up and speaking out" against RFK Jr.'s nomination as secretary of Health and Human Services at the Senate Finance confirmation hearing. #PublicHealthMatters #DFA
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words.
Medical professionals sat in stunned disbelief as a nominee with zero qualifications for the job attempted to justify his appointment. These are people who have dedicated their lives to public health, science, and patient care.

RFK Jr.'s vaccine misinformation threatens decades of progress in public health. Nominees for HHS must uphold science, not undermine it. #PublicHealthMatters #DFA
"He'll make America sick again."
RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine agenda threatens public health, putting millions at risk of deadly diseases we thought were gone. He cannot be trusted with public health. #StopRFK
