AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

Keep on trucking | VA Minneapolis health care | Veterans Affairs You have cancer. It’s words that can your turn your world upside down.

I’m exceedingly proud & honored to have helped the MPLS VA launch their scalp cooling program recently. The entire team there are scalp cooling champions and were excited to begin offering it to patients. Jaclyn may have been one the first scalp cooling patient at the VA but she won’t be the last.
