Our division chief @bnaikma sadly missed fellow interviews today but was speaking up for our patients on the hill. We are proud to care for a vulnerable population and the massive proposed #Medicaid cuts would be devastating for our kids and families. @AmerAcadPeds @APSASurgeons.
Great to talk to US House Representative for Galveston @RandyWeberBot about the vital importance of maintaining Medicaid for our kids in Texas who rely on it for healthcare! Alongside 300 pediatricians with American Academy of Pediatrics on the hill today. #aapadvocacy
