This is simply incredible. I've never had a hole-in-one. I'd take it.

Utah is in Covid Crisis. We have ZERO doctors in the Utah Senate. You deserve at least one. The perspective of one on the front lines can help us craft better health policy in the future. We can recover. I know it. Let's crush Covid together.

Utah Climate and Clean Air Compact: Will it make a difference or is it simply a "feel good" gesture? Pundits in the article weigh in. What is your advice? Can Utah clean it up further?.We need leaders who can lead, who care, and who listen.

Does transparency matter?.Whether in medicine or lawmaking, it is critical. As your Senator, Dr. Z will report back to the people of our state. You deserve good communication. I like people.

Will the Covid vaccine work? Scientists are not sure. Most experts think it will be more like the flu shot than measles. Will people take the vaccine? Current estimate 35%. As a doctor, Dr. Z gives science, data, and facts. As your Senator, the same applies.

Ration care? Sadly, it could be next. One possible protocol: Patients worse despite ICU care would be moved OUT first. If 2 patients' conditions are equal, the young get priority over the old, since older patients are more likely to die. #MaskUpUT .

Science data, and facts help us make decisions. In Arizona, sustained community mitigation measures, including mask wearing, can help prevent spread and cases of Covid-19. We need leaders who can give and know the science. It's not about politics.

The rolling 7-day average # of positive tests is 1,288/day .The percent positive is at record high of 15.5%. Hospitals are near capacity. Mask, distance, and get expert advice from your doctor. Utah has zero doctors in the Senate. Time for change.

Hands Off or Hands On?.Scientists clash on whether to "let it spread" vs. "lock down" policy for long-term recovery from the pandemic. The author suggests that when in doubt, a lower risk/reward choice is wiser for the public good. Vaccine to the rescue?.

What does a family doc know about health access?. Plenty. In 2004, Dr. Z founded the Utah Partners for Health, a non-profit that provides access to healthcare. “Never underestimate the difference YOU can make in the lives of others. " ― Pablo.

Honored to be on the Utah Cannabinoid Task Force. The task force helps doctors learn the best science. Cannabis as medicine can help some people in pain. Let's focus on science and not politics!

“I have worked with Dr. Zehnder and he was a very effective member of the senate. He brings a vast amount of healthcare knowledge and experience that is very valuable as we deal with so many health related issues. We do need a doctor's perspective in the senate.” -Evan Vickers
