U.S. adults under 30 now trust information from social media almost as much as from national news outlets Half of 18- to 29-year-olds say they have at least some trust in the information they get from social media sites.

How Americans’ trust in information from news organizations and social media sites has changed over time

In order to suddenly claim Tylenol leads to autism, we would need better data.……data we do not currently have.

Declaring that tylenol use in pregnant people can lead to autism, with the available evidence we have now, is scientifically irresponsible.

Now cancer free, Aiden, founder of Aiden's Helping Hands, has raised more than $200,000 to reduce the financial burden for families battling pediatric cancer.

This afternoon, we welcomed Aiden to meet with players and coaches and help us kick off Yinzerpalooza Weekend with the first pitch!

Essentially 100% of patients I see for substance use are on Medicaid (or uninsured & working to get on Medicaid). Most cannot afford their lifesaving medications without coverage & I’ve seen devastating results from coverage lapses in the past. This bill’s new β€œrequirements” are going to kill people

New Report: U.S. drug overdose deaths rise again after hopeful decline The latest 12-month report from the CDC showed 1,400 more deaths in January of this year compared with the year prior. This comes after more than a year of dramatic progress. Experts say they're not sure if this is a "blip" or something more troubling.

β€˜Cancer Ghosting’ May Add Another Layer of Emotional Burden for Patients | Oncology Nursing Society

Cancer ghosting may be linked to cancer stigma, which can lead to increased suffering & health disparities & is one more emotional toll for pts who are likely to feel overwhelmed w/anxiety re: their diagnosis & treatment.

When my daughter went through chemo at two years old, hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills stacked up. While we were very fortunate with our insurance coverage, we also realized firsthand what a gamechanger ACA was for pre-existing conditions. So grateful, for her sake. πŸ’›

Findings from a study titled "the preliminary impact of a cancer-specific financial navigation intervention program across age groups"

Excited to have shared study findings at #SSWR2025! 🌟

While cancer survivors of all ages showed a decrease in financial toxicity (FT) after a financial treatment program, middle-aged cancer survivors FT were still severe. So much more work to be done (and is underway)! #financialtoxicity #oncology

Did you know free annual checkups, and preventative screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies and pap smears didn't used to be free? This is a part of the Affordable Care Act. Pass it on.

I love the idea that maybe sleep is the purpose of your life and being awake is the inconvenient but necessary disturbance.
