Hearing patient voices in CV, kidney & metabolic care. Early NCD screening is vital—but so is palliative care alongside treatment. Excited to speak on ACHD & palliative care this June! #NCDs #ckmforum #WHA78 @ACHD_CHI @ralogon @TorontoACHD @IAHPC @PallChase

Trump terminating over 5000 contracts with USAIDs programs “ it is not just him cancelling programs…these are people being impacted & their health care.” I Couldn’t agree more. We need to stop thinking about cuts as programs &reframe it to the impact on people. @STUFUNITED @WHO
