I’ve been delivering every group visit at my startup Systole. Because when you’re building a new model for women’s heart health, you build it right. Now we’re growing 📈— and we’re hiring our first founding physician. If you’re a PCP who gets fired up about 🫀CV prevention

🚨 Big update! After seeing so many women struggle to access care for their heart health, I decided to build a startup to address their challenges. Today, I’m excited to share that Systole (yes, I am a cardiology nerd 🤓) just closed a $2M pre-seed round—backed by investors

An EMPA-REG OUTCOME-like moment in obesity medicine!
Wow, wow, wow! In SELECT trial of patients with obesity (mean BMI 33, n>17,000) & prior atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (but no diabetes), GLP-1 agonist semaglutide 2.4mg once-weekly reduced risk of CV death, heart attack, or stroke (RRR 20%) https://t.co/BQvWUujknh

Jaylen Brown is the definition of IT’S BIGGER THAN BASKETBALL. He just signed a $304 Million extension with the Boston Celtics, the biggest contract in NBA History, and his response to what he wants to do in Boston is worth 1 min of your time.

The state’s largest health care system opted not to voluntarily recognize the union.

Congratulations to @MGBUnited on organizing their union with @cirseiu. I call on @MassGenBrigham to hold a fair and transparent election that is free from intimidation.
It's official! MGB Housestaff United has filed for an election with the National Labor Relations Board! We are voting YES!

We know remote care works. Time to scale across conditions and countries (very excited about companies like @CadenceCares led by people like @caltchek ) to improve health at scale.

Among the many things I learned through writing this paper is the importance of grit when trying to share something important with the world (am I right @angeladuckw ?) and mentorship (I had the best in Naomi Fisher, @cpcannon and @BScirica).

There is nothing like being part of mission-driven innovation in healthcare delivery. During the darkest moments of #COVID our remote HTN program achieved BP control better and faster while increasing home monitoring and program diversity. https://t.co/6h45aGta6d
