Have had many discussions with dozens of stakeholders who supported the pain task force final report- most are working hard to disseminate the report- all hands on deck! Patients need individualized care ! @ASH_hematology @AmerMedicalAssn @ASALifeline @AAOSAdvocacy @AANSNeuro – at Washington, DC

Women physicians are paid less, are less likely to be promoted, and spend more hours a week on household activities. Childbearing and child-rearing may limit their advancement. Read more at bit.ly/2Wwldb0

By any metric, persistent pain is one of the most burdensome health problems. It's associated with increased risks of depression, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke and is a key player in what is now recognized as a devastating opioid problem. go.usa.gov/xmzhj

Parks, trails, community gardens & green space can have positive impacts on the physical, mental & social health of individuals & communities. Recreation and park facilities help promote social bonds by uniting families, and encouraging cultural sensitivity. #teenMHFA

The world needs doctors, so why do we sustain the systemic barriers that hold #WomenInScience back? 👩‍⚕️💉🏥 Let's speak up for change on #DoctorsDay!

Women & Girls in Science

Despite progress in ensuring opportunities for women in STEM fields, women and girls continue to be systematically underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

We all want patients to be empowered consumers. Every other area of the marketplace has consumers at the center of its focus, and healthcare should not be any different. Thank you @POTUS for putting patients first by making cost and quality more transparent for all Americans.

Bottom line – neither the @CDCgov guidelines nor @HHSgov advocate taking #opioids away from those who truly need them. The guidelines focus on improving the way opioids are prescribed to ensure patients have access to safer, more effective chronic pain treatment.
